The Design Emerges As A Testament To Avant-Garde Architectural Innovation | Studio Stimulus
The brick and concrete façade is more than an external envelope. It is an architectural narrative that weaves together tradition and modernity. Hence, through its tactile richness and visual dynamism, this façade stands as a testament to its beauty. Which, furthermore emerges when diverse materials coalesce in a symphony of design.
The interior unfolds as a dynamic spatial narrative, artfully curated to accommodate diverse event configurations. Further, the fluid spaces transition effortlessly, ensuring a seamless flow between intimate gatherings and grand receptions.
Built over two floors, the corridor on the first floor offers an unparalleled vantage point for the optimization of spatial visibility. This visual connectivity enhances the overall accessibility and awareness of the venue.
Overall, the convention center boasts indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, a banquet hall with an outdoor annexure and six rooms.
Meanwhile, one of the briefs that we received from the client at the time of designing was to incorporate backdrops across the space, to create a space for photo opportunities.
Overall, this was achieved with the fusion of interesting architectural walls, natural rock seating, brick arches that became artistic focal points, and repurposed old pillars, creating an environment that invites attendees to explore, engage, and capture moments.
The far end features a striking composition of brick arches along with the incorporation of a Kund, a traditional Indian water reservoir, all while utilizing stepped seating to enhance spatial dynamics.
The result is a space that not only serves its intended purpose but also captivates the observer with its thoughtful design language and thoughtful integration of architectural innovation and elements.
The design boasts a meticulously crafted landscape that seamlessly integrates nature’s elements into the architectural canvas. Furthermore, the thoughtfully designed outdoor gathering spaces invite attendees to connect and converse amidst nature’s tranquility.
The rooms prioritize a harmonious blend of comfort, functionality, and thoughtful aesthetics, ensuring that guests have a delightful and rejuvenating experience during their stay.
