Graduation Project
Project Title – Maharishi Arogya- Where the science of Ayurveda and the art of hospitality unite to create a holistic environment for relaxation, rejuvenation, and self-healing
Project Sponsor – Design Doodle
Rooted in the ancient philosophy of Ayurveda, the Maharishi Ayurvedic Wellness Hotel is a thoughtfully curated space that embodies holistic healing through architecture and interior design. The spatial layout integrates traditional Indian planning principles with a serene, contemporary aesthetic. Carefully articulated curves, arches, courtyards, and natural materials form an environment that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit.
The hotel offers specialized Ayurvedic treatments through dedicated consultation and treatment rooms, harmonizing wellness with hospitality. Key areas like the indoor and outdoor restaurants, library, pharmacy, and waiting lounges are designed to facilitate calmness and mindful engagement. The design emphasizes biophilia, natural light, and airflow, aligning the physical space with Ayurvedic ideals of balance and well-being.
This project stands as a cultural and architectural response to the growing need for healing environments—blending tradition with modern comfort in a truly immersive wellness experience.
