AANGAN — key view

01 — Overview

A hotel interior inspired by the landscape and culture of Gangtok. The project explores movement and stillness through the fluidity of prayer flags, creating a calm and immersive experience for guests.

03 — Concept

Inspired by the movement of prayer flags in the wind, the design translates fluidity into spatial forms and circulation. The contrast between movement and stillness creates a meditative atmosphere that connects the interior with its natural surroundings.

04 — Design approach

The hotel brings together reception, restaurant, spa, banquet and guest spaces through a continuous spatial experience. Fluid movement and carefully framed views create a connection between the different areas.

05 — Design outcome

A serene hospitality environment where movement, nature and spatial experience come together to create a pause from the everyday.
