Hotel

Concepts

ubbles are an integral part of water.The precise spherical

shape, the incredibly fragile nature of a bubble stands for
immense energy and freedom. It is a globule of one substance
encased in another, usually air in a liquid which is where we derive
our form from. Bubbles signify space inside a closed entity.Thus a
closed bubble-like form can function like a space which can be used
for different purposes.

The main criteria of the design is developing spaces

aimed for hospitality. Hotels or the hospitality sector
is always related with a memorable experience to
the users. Memorables experiences shuld be made
exquisite, unique and great and is one of the main
motives while designing spaces for such projects.
The most important space in a hotel being the guest
room, other amenities provided should be equally
good to provide altogether an pleasureable stay.
Bubble is the concept which we use to create such
an unique flamboyant experience. Bubbles are an
integral part of water. Bubbles define space inside a
closed entity. Boundaries of such space defined
physically but not visually.

The Site is chosen to be marine water front. To get the

essence of bubbles thesite is taken right in the sea and
the main block is placed at the coast. the site is assumed
to have a quick drop in depth as we move into the ocean
from the coast.
This brings us opportunity to create a corridors which
are partially submersed in sea. Also, the users of the
Admin building will have a pleasant experience.

Site Justification

So a sphereical forms along with patches of

greenscape floating on the sea will certainly prove
to be a delightful experience for the visitor.

The guest Rooms are conceived as bubbles.

the other spaces are bigger bubbles, the radius
adjusted as according to the spatial requirement.
The bigger bubbles are placed in the middle of the
arrangement as the circulation pattern demands the
necessity of common facilities in the middle

Adminstrative
Block

Such concrete blocks are used in

foundation which have a marine
turbine device installed in them. These
concrete blocks take in the water and
circulate among themselves as shown
in third picture. while circulating they
also hit the installed turbine and
generate electricity

Bubbles are optimized in three different sizes for guest

rooms. Single room small, single room big, and Presidential
suite.

Foundation

Energy Concepts

The site is assumed to be around Coastal waterfront. Going

with the concept of bubbles, the Guest rooms are individual
bubbles seemingly floating in water. These are connected via
a corridor to a central block on the coast. More such bigger
bubbles are present on water to accommodate Spiritual
centre, spa, Night Club, and other requirements.

Other features that would be developed include the

oceanarium style corridors. Transport of people would be
done using hydraulic powered horizontal treadmill
travelators. Hydraulic power is in turn derived from tidal
waves, i. e, water level difference created during tides.

These turbines could

be installed between
any two concrete
foundation blocks and
when under marine
water they generate
electricity
