ubbles are an integral part of water.The precise spherical
shape, the incredibly fragile nature of a bubble stands for
immense energy and freedom. It is a globule of one substance
encased in another, usually air in a liquid which is where we derive
our form from. Bubbles signify space inside a closed entity.Thus a
closed bubble-like form can function like a space which can be used
for different purposes.
The main criteria of the design is developing spaces
aimed for hospitality. Hotels or the hospitality sector
is always related with a memorable experience to
the users. Memorables experiences shuld be made
exquisite, unique and great and is one of the main
motives while designing spaces for such projects.
The most important space in a hotel being the guest
room, other amenities provided should be equally
good to provide altogether an pleasureable stay.

Bubble is the concept which we use to create such

an unique flamboyant experience. Bubbles are an
integral part of water. Bubbles define space inside a
closed entity. Boundaries of such space defined
physically but not visually.

So a sphereical forms along with patches of

greenscape floating on the sea will certainly prove
to be a delightful experience for the visitor.
Site Justification

Ecotel
The Site is chosen to be marine water front. To get the
essence of bubbles thesite is taken right in the sea and
the main block is placed at the coast. the site is assumed
to have a quick drop in depth as we move into the ocean
from the coast.

This brings us opportunity to create a corridors which

are partially submersed in sea. Also, the users of the
Admin building will have a pleasant experience.

Other features that would be developed include the

oceanarium style corridors. Transport of people would be
done using hydraulic powered horizontal treadmill
travelators. Hydraulic power is in turn derived from tidal
waves, i. e, water level difference created during tides.
