Shamyana-The Thematic Hotel

Hotel SHAMYANA is an adaptive reuse project that originated as a school in Ahmedabad's old city. The location is surrounded by pol houses and has access to the main road. The inspiration for designing a Thematic hotel came from the context. The interventions to the existing building were designed in accordance with the functions of the hotel while also respecting the building's Colonial style. Many case studies on hotels, hotels in adaptive reuse, and interior styles were conducted during the process. The two new interventions were created with Islamic and Jain architecture and interior design in mind.
