Taj Hotel, Mumbai, design by Kanvinde Rai and Choudhary

Planned as an extension to the historic Taj Hotel at Mumbai, by Kanvinde Rai & Chowdhury, the proposal aims to harmonise with the existing context yet create an iconic structure. Considering orientation and view, the extension is designed in a staggered-room layout off a singly loaded corridor, allowing a majority of the rooms to take advantage of facing the sea. The design for the tower block is in contrast to the existing structure and takes cues from the existing hotel in providing circular bay windows, arched vaults, corbelled brackets, and stone facing, thereby imparting a unique sculpted character to the facade.  

Design Year: 1970
Architects: Kanvinde Rai & Chowdhury, New Delhi
