Terracotta-coloured boxes stacked against a white frame, over a row of shops.
A hotel for Bongaigaon in lower Assam, on a site of 16,609 sq ft, with 32,561 sq ft of built-up area and a row of shops at street level.
The rooms are expressed on the front as terracotta-coloured boxes stacked against a white frame. Beside them a wall is pierced with scattered square windows, which lets light into the rooms and corridors behind while keeping the front calm.
The hotel is built.
