BUSINESS HOTEL :SEM VI

SITE:

PROJECT BRIEF: The main objective of any business organization is to earn profit. This depends not only on the working of an organization but also on its presentation; more so in the hotel and hospitality sector. The prime motive or objective of any hotel property is to attract more and more clients and guests and make their visits a memorable experience.

Architecture and designing of a property play a great role in this. The process of planning, designing and construction of a hotel is known as its integration. According to noted hotel architect Morris Lapidus, hotel guests fall into two categories- Business travelers and other travelers. Business travelers require a comfortable bed, easily accessible food, drawers’ space, good lighting for reading and quick service , and mostly working Spaces.

Form Development :

Site: On Mumbai Agra highway, Next to car mall, front of Audi service Centre, Nashik

Design Requirements : Site area:2600 sq.m Restaurants Banquet hall Conference Room Meeting Room Discussion Café Leisure activity area King suite Queen suite

Concept: Simple 20 x 20 m cuboids are used to explore the form, and design concepts like subtracting, adding, and stacking are explored. The first four storey are formed by four blocks.

Due to the site's angular shape, which functions as a site force, the cube is positioned so that it creates a triangular courtyard in the center. The ground-floor cafe, restaurant, and reception are connected to the courtyard. Slicing the cuboid angular from top to bottom creates a covered drop of point, which is how the initial block is created. Every public area of the hotel, including the dining rooms, ballrooms, cafes, meeting rooms, and conference rooms, is physically or visually connected to the courtyard.

The Entrance block Of Hotel is to be Chamfered in such a way that a covered drop off point is formed due to cantilevered formed above.

Concept Model:

The Second block with cafeteria is chamfered in such a way that angular cover is created above the open seating area
