Transformation of the shapes

Auditorium is designed in the focal point of the site with capacity of 1200 people . Its shape is design in such a way that it represent the use of the geometric shapes of balls into design . Being a functional space where lighting and acoustic consideration are to be done wisely.

Here i have designed the concave auditorium with focal point more than its radius which concludes the good acoustics and for lighting , lights according to light intensity requirement is placed with zigzac ceiling to reflect the sound and distribute it uniformly over all corner with`out any dead spot.

For structural part I-section beam are used i.e dome itself is stable . For floor the trusses in concave shape are used to resist the load effectively .

Accomodation block

Accomodation is designed from the concept of hockey bat . This block is kept in distance to the entrance and other block so that to provide some privacy and created a path as buffer space so that peace is maintained over there.

Facilities like money exchange ,spa, swimming pool , roof garden are provided for luxury . The view from this building is phenomenal.
