We work on a wide variety of projects, from restaurants & hotels, bars, offices, shops & leisure centres; to houses. Our expertise
covers a full range of services, including new-build architecture & planning, refurbishments & interior design.
In our hospitality design projects we bring an understanding of how hotels and resorts work. This crucial knowledge is combined
with original design that is sensitive to location, respectful of heritage and conscious of legacy.
We provide enduring architectural / interior design solutions for developers, owners and operators.
Our idea of providing service through an architectural & interior design firm, is not about imposing ideas and personal taste onto a
client. It is about client & the designer coming together to create an unique space. It is about helping the client develop their vision
while analysing their design requirements. In the end creating a flexible, functional environment that optimizes available space &
relates to target clientele, business, image & location.

3. We have an understanding of the specialized needs of a client, helping clients develop concepts that transform their spaces into
an environment that has a unified look. We strive to work together & create a total environment that is inviting to clientele and
employees.
Our services can be structured to fit your particular needs. We can act as consultants in all areas referenced above, or we can
work with you in one of the aspects referenced above.
Our work encompasses the master planning and design of new destinations. We are equally enthusiastic about working on budget
hotels and on extensions or partial refurbishments of hotels.
We are currently working in the hospitality sector with well-known brands, such Carlson Hotels , Absolute Hotels ,
Sarovar Hotels, Lords Group Of Hotels; to small start-up businesses and private individuals.

4. Hospitality Design = Designing Delightful Spaces
Refueling, sure. Shelter, of course. But whether it’s a grand hotel, a leisure resort or a standard business hotel, what the guests remember
is pleasure. Because what our public wants is the special pleasure that hotels alone have provided, ever since the world began- that special
controlled experience that gives each guest the sense of being pampered with professional skill.
The customers that today’s hotels seek are
sophisticated & well traveled.
The expectations from Indian Hotels
have dramatically changed from the mundane-to
extraordinary. A Hotel designer has to keep up with
this expectations & has to come up with exemplary
designs within a tight budget.
ARA provides that unique form of professionalism,
fostering creative interaction among teams of
architects, interior designers, service consultants
& in house operational specialists, developers
& other expert team members.

5. Design Process:-
Stage One – INSPIRATION
To discover what makes any particular site unique and
unite that with the clients aspirations we conduct a
workshop at the site over a few days..
Sketches, programs, plans are drawn and presented
during this time and the basic idea is agreed with the
client and their key decision makers.
A deep understanding by all is formed in a short period
of time.

6. Stage Two – CONCEPT DESIGN
The basic idea is developed and a package of
drawings is presented that explains the overall
design. Three dimensional views, freehand plans
and sketches as well as area programs describe
the project.

7. Stage Three – SCHEMATIC DESIGN
The freehand concept moves into a more technical
stage with electronic drawings. This means that
the other key designers and experts inform the
design including hotel operators, engineers,
interior designers and landscape architects.
