collaborative and open minded to different design concepts.

LEMON TREE HOTEL, COIMBATORE(ELEVATION, SKIN SECTIONS, 3D AND OTHER DETAILS)

INITIAL SKETCH FOR ELEVATION AL ELEMENTS. ARIAL PLAN

ELEVATION FEATURE : SUBTLE SOUTH INDIAN STYLE

• Minimalistic touch of south indian architectural elements.

• Reference context – features, columns, brackets of south indian

architecture say colonnades of meenakshi temple, madurai, etc.

• Overhangs/ chajjas over the windows in stepped formation – a

subtle derivation of gopurams.

• Wooden bracket pergola with subtle intricacies supports the

glass canopy connecting various vantage entry points.

• The glass canopy connection across to the entry to main

reception lobby, bar and banquet is continuous for all weather

protection.

• Sloping roof with local terracotta tiles brings in a contemporary

local flavor.
