Tweaking The Xylum

PROJECT DEMANDS

Transforming a sprawling 1.8-acre site in Dehradun into a functional yet opulent banquet hall that became a health club on occasional days. The project demanded bold façade design, luxurious interiors, smart space planning, and seamless landscaping to create a venue worthy of hosting grand celebrations—all while correcting a misguided initial civil structure attempt.

CLIENT’S VISION

The client envisioned an elegant venue blending contemporary design and functionality. A striking façade with terracotta tiles, lavish interiors for weddings and events, and multi-functional outdoor spaces were going to be the key features of this space. The banquet hall needed to stand out as a luxurious statement while accommodating diverse activities, from grand receptions to serene health club sessions.

OBSTACLES FACED

The inherited structure resembled a residential building with odd proportions, poorly planned balconies, and low ceiling heights. The challenge was to refine the existing bone and flesh of the hall into a cohesive and sophisticated commercial masterpiece while working with tight design constraints.

INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

We reimagined the façade with terracotta tiles, sleek glasswork, and mesh patterns for contemporary elegance. Smart zoning optimised functionality, while POP mouldings added glamour indoors. Outdoor spaces were transformed with landscaped gardens, elegant seating, and poolside features, blending aesthetics with utility to create a harmonious, high-impact venue.

From Bare Land To Behemoth Luxury

This meticulously designed floor plan reimagines 78,408 square feet of open space into an escape into the festive void. Smart zoning harmonises the grand banquet hall, landscaped gardens, and poolside fun. Where every brick whispers sophistication, and every corner celebrates utility, this masterpiece exemplifies why thoughtful planning is the backbone of breathtaking venues.

From Terracotta Trusses To Pools!

From taming an ill-conceived structure to orchestrating a masterpiece, this project epitomised the art of architecture. We transformed the chaotic residential-style framework of this banquet into an aesthetic marvel, blending intricate interiors, a striking façade, and lush landscaping. It’s not just construction—it’s a journey of reimagining spaces by restructuring the bone marrow of the buildings.
