Hospitality has always been all about creating a home away from home and this principle has been applied very sensitively by us in hostel design. Hostel life for a student often creates horrific images of dead structures, discomfort and inconvenience. Our approach to hostel design has been to weed out the discomfort and inconvenience through sensitive design and create a lively ambience through interesting imagery. The Hostel is a collage of spaces and volumes generated from a graphical diagram of lines – first multiplied, then specialized and transformed through a series of actions. The design involves assembling the rooms into simple rectangular blocks comprising five rooms each, allowing for the control of volumes and scale. The spatial vocabulary evolves out of the dynamic action of these modular blocks.
