Recognizing cultural, climatic and economic diversity followed by taste, preferences and available materials are important parameters to keep in mind to create a good design for diversified India. Creating the design for the St. Laurne Hotel in Ahmedabad was to make a functional interior design, but one which stays true to the culture and context of the site. Warm tones brighten up the spaces and the design elements are kept muted and sleek, following a timeless sense of design.
