RYOKAN (LOBBY) Client: Ryokan (Hypothetical) Location: Kolkata Area: 9382 sq./ft
Concept: As the Japanese believe in forming relations through spaces as present in their Shinto and Buddhism beliefs, the design of the Ryokan was based on this concept along with the philosophies of wabi sabi and zen. In the process of designing, the materials used were mostly natural as the Japanese believe that “nature is god” as nothing is stronger and greater than the force of nature. The colour palette was kept earthy to symbolize peace, tranquillity and bound to one’s roots. Japanese keep their spaces simple to execute beauty and serenity through simplicity. Thus, the design language was a mixture of traditional and contemporary designs.
