Inspired by Indian culture and the modern world, the design of the Taj hotel depicts traditional sensibilities, innovativeness, and a contemporary look.

Italian marble in various forms and patterns at the entrance, a waterfall and sculpture set the tone. Every guest room carries a touch of the peacock - an Indian theme that is eye-catching and adds character to the rooms.

ARK has conceived the concept of double wall boxing for the building’s facade treatment and for creating a cooling effect by trapping the heat and providing shade to the glass surface. Vertical fins are used to cut down the heating effect and permit ample air circulation. Performance glass – both laminated and toughened - are used for heat reduction and sound insulation. Terrace gardens on certain floors further enhance the façade, while also reducing the overall heat absorption of the building; insulating it against heat and cold and maintaining the indoor temperature.
