Hello #HIVE
Feels refreshing to jump back after months of gap due to work.
Last week, I turned 25! Wasn't a big deal as I thought it to be lol! Anyways, my friends and family celebrated it differently like we used to do for previous birthdays.
They knew I am mad about creative structures and unique buildings so they took me to two branches of 5 star hotel- The Roseate in aerocity, Delhi.
Yes! there are two branches of the same hotel, one is kind of a resort with huge landscaping and award winning structure and another one is quiet a formal hotel with dim and ultra luxurious interiors with IGBC certificate of green building.
The skylights
Let's go through the mesmerizing landscape first! For lunch I along with my friends preferred the Roseate house
Due to it's mesmerizing landscaping and curves we preferred it during day time.
The portal to heaven
I took my parents last year to this very same branch of roseate on their anniversary but that was during late evening and the place looked pretty lit but a little dull. The best view one can grasp from the facility is during daylight. So we went there during day light and enjoyed the landscape of the place.
You can find a detailed post about it here.
Facing the restaurant
We went to Kiyan and Chini these are the names of two restaurants within this hotel. The landscaping and the angular conceptual design of this particular hotel was done by an Architect from Thailand.
The wrap around lake and windy trees
Just me trying to get candits
All my friends are Architects just like me so they too enjoyed the ambience a lot, we were planning to do masters and torn between landscaping or technical, we surely made our mindset for the landscaping after this lunch.
The site contours obviously artificial as Delhi has mostly flat topography were the best part as they created interest in the landscape and to forget about the lake beautifully running mid of the property.
The mother of curves
The interior was lavishing, I wrote much in detail about this hotel in my previous blog which I have linked above.
The food was delicious as well but was much expensive than anticipated. The ambience is wonderful and worth visiting.
We than switched to another adventure of the day, i.e. family dinner. After bidding good bye to my friends I headed towards the another branch which was couple of kilometres away from this branch of Roseate.
Met my family there which was already waiting for me.
They all made up a point to take out time from their schedules and plan a dinner together. which was wonderful plus the gifts were fantastic.
The lavish foyer
This branch of The roseate was a bit formal with dim and ultra luxurious interiors. The most fascinating part was-
The blurry one
To acknowledge the fact that the building is certified good to nature is wonderful. I and my friends are trying to prepare for licence to certificate building as they are green on certain levels. so It was heart warming to see this sign boar just at the entrance of the building.
Substantially these level of certification are provided to building which raises their value and are given multiple facilities through the government and the obvious plus point is the nature friendly construction and maintenance.
Jumping from technicality to the entertainment part. It was such a wonderful experience eating over Del at Roseate.
The central courtyard
The landscape was beautiful here as well, it was basically central courtyard but due to low lighting the camera couldn't pick up the view well.
This central courtyard had pond, levels through steps ,some shurbs, plenty of trees and seating with a fire pit which was inactive at the moment. It was truly delightful experience.
The rooms above have this beautiful view through the window which overlooks the courtyard. This building has special dim interiors which has become a significance part.
The lobby area had particular brown family tone and hues all around. There were multiple restaurants and bars from which I was only able to explore Del due to our prior bookings.
luckily we reached before the buffet started and all the guests came as it would have been super weird to click pictures of ambience inside the restaurant while people are eating.
So I took advantage of first comers and clicked a few pictures.
As I explained earlier the brown family of colours got a little hue of greyish blue and copper to the interior.
I have learnt and experienced how lighting plays a vital role in interiors. It's like magic. The cosy warm lightings with minimum brightness and lux made the room luxurious.
We enjoyed our family time with lots and lots of food served. I might create another post about the food.
But as far as the interior and architecture of the place was concerned it was 10 on 10.
The best birthday so far. looking forward for more excitement in my next year.
