ETA Hotel
Small boutique business hotel with 68 rooms, a restaurant and lounge bar, health club, and a roof top pool.
The concept of the hotel is evolved from the abstraction of trapezoidal planes that constitute the outer skin of the hotel. The trapezoidal planes fold out from a 6.0 M high entrance lobby accentuating it, before undulating along all sides vertically upwards, until it folds back creating a roof top health club and pool area.
This concrete skin is punctuated by a graphical composition of geometric openings derived from an Islamic motif thus relating it to the city heritage while creating a unique sculptural form.
Architect: Sanjay Puri
