Hyatt Centric Chandigarh is located within a city shaped by Le Corbusier’s modernist vision, with a design that imagines a Punjabi gentleman grounded in agrarian traditions and informed by a global perspective.

Concrete is the design’s central element, expressed through geometry, proportion, and material honesty and softened through craft, color, and human scale. Traditional motifs intersect with contemporary forms to shape spaces that feel familiar yet forward-looking. Together, these elements combine global modernism and an authentic Indian sensibility.

“We want to create something that feels both unexpected and grounded, a place where Corbusier’s modernist clarity meets the color, warmth, and spirit of French-Punjabi culture. For me, it was about shaping a journey that feels playful, intimate, and quietly memorable.”
