Taj Puri Resort Odisha, India, is featured in Interior Design’s July/August issue. The special section, focused on the second half of the yearly Interior Design Giants of Design coverage, spotlights sector-specific rankings and statistics, growth markets, and ascendant project typologies. The data presents an optimistic picture of resilience, diversification, and a shared commitment to environmental responsibility, witnessed by the industry’s appetite for pursuing measurable sustainability. 

In this context, Taj Puri Resort reflects the growing consideration of sustainability in hospitality, seen as integral to good design rather than an add-on. Set across five ocean-facing acres along the Bay of Bengal in Odisha, India, Taj Puri’s cross-ventilated architecture opens fully to the region’s coastal climate, with colour and texture drawn from the locale’s natural and cultural palette. The result is a considered environment grounded in vernacular traditions, in which climate, craft, and shoreline emphasise the ocean as its enduring anchor.
