Blue Ginger | Taj Palace Hotel New Delhi
Delhi Cantonment, New Delhi, India
Type
YEAR
2009
The previous space occupied by Tea
House of The August Moon has been split into 2 parts. Blue Bar placed along the
windows of the building with an alfresco deck facing the pool and lush gardens.
To access the space, a new internal foyer is created at the right of the plan.
The new Blue Ginger space is totally
concealed within the hotel structure. To retain a connection with the gardens,
the space has been raised 3 steps and a 5-layered glass sound barrier placed
between Blue Ginger and the new Bar. Four raised booths along the intricately
mirrored back wall facilitate the views to be maintained to the gardens by
utilizing an amphitheater style stepping arrangement. Low [Viet Style] seating
at Blue Bar maintains these critical views over the bar patrons heads. The
mirror wall fractures the appreciated natural light into millions of sparkling
gems.
A new semi-private dining room has
been created from the former wine storage area of Tea House of The August Moon.
The room contains a single table hand-crafted from yellow mother of pearl and
inlayed with an Art-Deco starburst in brown Batong shell.
A new theatre kitchen has been
created at the left side of Blue Ginger which features a duck roasting oven
aligned with the center communal table of the main dining room. This central
'runway' can be re-configured for large groups or split into tables of 4. A more
intimate zone is created along the glass sound wall by placing deuces on angles,
separating them with decorative lotus urns topped with fresh floral displays.
The center portion remains open for the occasional live musician, backed with a
commissioned art work '56 fish' by local Delhi artist Gagan Vij.
The new internal foyer features a
large ochre abstract oil painting by artist Balu Sadalge, and a green marble floor,
in the traditional Hanoi architectural color scheme of bottle green shutters and
ochre yellow facades.
Brocade lanterns are a common element
in Vietnamese design, but have become rather mundane. Here we have created
several versions of lanterns, made from silver mirrored beads and nickel plated
fish motifs, taking this folk-art object into a higher realm. Onyx beads and
cream tassels complete the overture.
Interior furnishings are re-creations
in the French Art-Deco style, made prominent by the master furniture designer
Jacques-Ẻmile Ruhlmann. [Paris 1873-1933] Items of similar style were used
extensively at the Bao Dai Palace in Dalat Vietnam - the summer home of the
last ruling Vietnamese monarch.
Custom carpets with French scroll
motifs, woven grass padded walls dusted with gold flecks, and a ceiling cast in
the form of snails [the forms taken from the 'hair' of Buddha] add additional
Asian touches, but without the common clichés found in restaurants and bars of
the 'Asia-hype' movement.
