Shayne and Mai wanted their new energy efficient home to be connected to its surrounds, filled with natural light to bring the outside in.
Hyacinth Hotel Trivandrum is an eclectic blend of contemporary luxury and playful, boutique artistry. Moving away from rigid, traditional hospitality aesthetics, the hotel focuses on creating an engaging visual story through vibrant contrasts.
The project required creating a contemporary luxury hotel that responded to Trivandrum’s hot-humid climate while integrating efficient planning, durable materials, and a cohesive architectural identity that seamlessly extended from the building envelope to the interior experience.
The design adopted a climate-responsive architectural approach through optimized building orientation, shaded openings, locally appropriate and durable materials, and efficient space planning, while the interiors were layered with bold artwork, vibrant colours, curated furnishings, and warm lighting to create a distinctive boutique hospitality experience that balanced luxury, functionality, and long-term maintainability.
“I can recommend Archdeco highly enough. They took my ideas and made them even better, and had all sorts of suggestions for details I would never have thought of, which made all the difference to the end result. The team totally got what I wanted and always managed to find just the right piece or the right style.”
“We purchased a wonderful north facing one acre block of land in Daylesford, to build an eco-friendly, stabilised rammed earth home. We are thrilled with the end result – with the quality of workmanship, the materials used and with the wonderful flexibility we had as we built this house.
