Vivanta Navi Mumbai, Turbhe.

General hotel:

The Vivanta Vashi is a modern reflection of the culture and context of Navi Mumbai . Designed keeping in mind the young millennial traveler the hotel exuberates youthfulness while maintaining the aura and maturity of the taj group.

Inspired by the eastern harbour where flamingos swarm and the fluidity of water, each piece of art at this hotel is related in context to its surrounding. ‘Sophisticated quirkiness ‘is the apt word to describe this hotel that reflects the time to come.

Main mural behind reception:

This mural signifies the planned city of Navi Mumbai. A map of Navi Mumbai converted into an artistic impression signifies the hotel location and the hotel in itself.

The mangroves are depicted by the round wire mesh balls while the buildings are shown by the use of building pegs.

Mynt:

Inspired by the colors of the flamingos dipping into the ocean water, Mynt is designed to have a flamboyant dining experience and offbeat to the mundane all day dining one perceives multiple elements blend well to create areas of inquisitiveness for any modern age diner . Blending with Mynt is swirl which has its own chic Parisian feel and blends beautifully into one space as Mynt .

Banquet:

The ocean floor with the mix of mauve and pink hints created when flamingos submerge into water is what depicts the banquet. A modern sculptural interpretation of this ocean floor with a sculptural chandelier creates a banquet that defies the common perception of how a banquet should be experienced.

Round art near lift:

Inspired by the dots and dashes of the Vivanta logo , this mural is a dot made up of fluidic lines which form fluidic petals but come together to form a dot … the colour chosen represents the brand colour and complements  the fluidic canvas of the lobby .

Other art: in lobby and rooms wallpaper:

Imagine what happens when multiple colours are introduced into water … the magic blend of these colours while maintaining a fluidic form is what the art in the other areas of the lobby and room depict. Inspired by the ocean, sun and the hotel brand colours; these fluidic pieces of art manifest into an artistic hotel!
