It is ensured that references from the local culture and Hyatt’s brand identity are fully coherent with the hotel’s narrative. The aesthetic is built on the timeless and energizing language of modernism: clean lines, restraint, transparency, balance and open space. Wherein warm hues are thoroughly induced through paint and wood to generate comfort and cosyness. A wide use of beaten brass has been done to display artifacts as well, whilst patterns that you see around the hotel are inspired from the textile designs popular in Shimla, an excerpt of which has been showcased as a showpiece in the reception backdrop & all day dining.

Designed to exist in harmony with the natural environment and luxurious locale, the rejuvenating Hyatt Dehradun immerses guests in the local culture. The project was developed after taking multiple local cues from the context. The mountains and tall trees convey a certain sense of scale, the same grandeur was depicted through a double height lobby area wrapped in a glass facade in order to give a clear view of the outside, while replicating the same sense of scale inside. The glass facade also creates the illusion of a floating building, adding an element of curiosity even before the visitor enters the building-- elevating the whole arrival experience.

An installation in the center of the lobby area imitates the famous Pine Tree of the region to activate the sense of smell and touch. The partitions were designed after taking inspiration from Dhajji architecture. The chandelier in the lobby area represents dew drops of a tree providing an enriching & close-to-nature experience of the visitor.

The intent of AND Studio was to elevate the user’s experience within the property through the spatial layout by providing a connected experience. The design DNA in action follows a synergy. All social programs are interconnected with each other to allow ease of movement and while providing design elements that assist pathfinding. The idea of visual permeability was kept prime when designing these public areas
in order to create a lively atmosphere in the public spaces. However, it was made sure that at no instance should the access control be compromised.

The spatial layout is done in such a way that it captures the open and vast sense of space, while breaking down the scale in such a way that the user is given personal and intimate spaces. Interiors are designed considering local context yet are modern and simple with a touch of sophistication. The approach was to create a timeless design that is forever cherished by the user. A balance of open and close spaces is maintained, which results in interaction, connection and celebration. The smooth articulated transitions are designed to be functional and narrate a story.

The construction technique used is that of a frame structure, with cantilevered beams & large span columns. The facade of the structure runs on a length of 70ms through which the lower half is cladded by glass that makes it look like a floating structure, as well as light in volume, and at the same time incorporating the inside-outside outlook.

The materials primarily used are marble which are locally sourced, along with local wood called as Chaap that is used for basic framework along with lacquered glass. There is an immense use of veneer too for covering the major portions of ceilings around the property.
