Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Ahmedabad Hotel by Studio Symbiosis is Inspired by Waves in Nature

— September 7, 2012 — Art & Design
Although the Ahmedabad Hotel is inspired by nature, specifically the idea of waves found in natural settings, it happens to look like a squatting yogi. The top portion rises to the sky like a straight back while the base juts out to each side like a pair of knees in a squat. Whatever this five star building may look like, it offers an iconic visual that will add to the skyline in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Designed by Studio Symbiosis, the Ahmedabad Hotel is filled with soft touches, calming curves and a sense of elegance that will instantly win over any guest. The Ahmedabad Hotel is comprised of three waves, each of which will host dramatic key spaces on both the upper and lower floors.
