6. NAMASTE !
 The traditional Indian greeting of ‘Namaste’, where
the hands are clasped together in greeting, is the
inspiration for the design of this tower. In Sanskrit
“Namaste` means “I bow to you`. It has a spiritual
significance of negating one’s ego in the presence
of another.

7.  The Architecture of the Namaste Hotel builds on
this ancient Indian expression. The two wings of the
hotel are clasped together like hands greeting the
city of Mumbai. In this way the architectural design
of the hotel provides the ultimate symbol of
hospitality and welcome, as seen in the cultural
context of India.

16. FAÇADE DESIGN
 With a proposed height of 300 m the tower will be
seen from a distance of more than 40 km.
Therefore the visual appearance of the project as a
major landmark is of great importance to the city of
Mumbai.

17. FAÇADE DESIGN
The design seeks to
build on the theme of the
clasped hands by
referencing the intricate
Mehndi patterns through
the treatment of the
building skin.

18.  The tower has been designed to cater for large
scale Indian weddings. The occasion of a Mehndi
ceremony is often one of the most important pre-
wedding rituals in India.
 This will create a sense of transparency and depth
to the building while at the same time helping to
maintain the thermal qualities required to meet the
building’s envelope design criteria.
 It is proposed that the large scale canopies over the
drop-off points area support an array of solar
thermal collectors , which have the potential to
provide 12% of the energy required to heat the hot
water for the hotel.

20. The space between the wings forms the corridor spaces. At either end of
the corridor space a pair of open atria will offer hotel guests dramatic
framed views out over the city.

21. PARKING SYSTEM

22. PODIUM
 The geometry of the podium is designed to
integrate fully with the design of the tower. Thus it is
a highly symmetrical form that responds to the wing
like canopies above the drop off. Containing mostly
retail, the facade of the podium is activated with
water features and fountains that cascade down to
street level.
