Profiled in Marie Claire Maison Arabia, Taj Puri Resort in Odisha, India, celebrates one of the subcontinent’s richest craft traditions and the profound knowledge of its stone carvers, metalworkers, weavers, and woodworkers. 

Actively listening to, and engaging with, local communities throughout the entire creative process, Studio HBA brought to this resort the full breadth of its expertise: from masterplanning and architecture through to interior design, art curation, and graphics. 

The result is a culturally relevant environment that nimbley shifts between the global and the deeply local, pairing contemporary sensibility with century-old traditions and redefining luxury through authenticity and an uninterrupted dialogue between craft, coastline, and climate.
