該建筑被棄置了20年一直未建成。設計師受邀為該項目提出建筑和室內設計策略，并建造一系列的花園及游泳池區域。設計師回到最初的現代主義建筑的思路，把整座建筑物外觀渲染成白色。這似乎不切實際，但這很符合該地區每年雨季后粉飾墻體域的傳統做法。因此在門廊環繞部分設計了雙重釉面視窗系統，并設計了屋頂以保護空間。夜間電梯照明使用低功率燈和藍色LED燈。

簡約的公共區域，是為了建造一個四星級酒店，以供日常的貿易往來及周末度假使用。因此，設計師在一樓設計了兩個曲面，分隔出吧臺和舒適的后臺辦公區。橙色使凸顯的平臺顯得緩和，接待/雅間用手工制作的石膏覆蓋，臥室的竹地板、柚木家具、色彩鮮亮的材料使房間顯得繽紛絢麗。

The building had been abandoned for 20 years never having been completed. The designers were asked to come up with an architectural and interior strategy to complete the building, create a series of gardens and design a poolside area. The designers went back to original Modernist intentions of the building and sought to tidy up the exterior and to render the whole building white. This may seem impractical, and yet whitewashing is a tradition in this area and is done each year after the Monsoon. A double glazed window system was installed and the designers designed a roof to enclose the atrium, allowing the space to be protected. By night the elevation is illuminated by low wattage amber and blue LED lights. The poolside terrace is characterised by a huge abstract glass mosaic pattern in blues, greys and oranges creating a graphic backdrop for the dramatic black elliptical pool. To the rear of the building is the ‘white' garden whose grid mirrors that of the building.

The designers' brief for the public areas was to create a four star plus hotel with flexibility allowing weekday trade to convert to weekend tourist stays. The designers therefore designed two free-form pods on the ground floor containing the bar, the snug and back office. The orange plastered bar breaks out to address the terrace, while the reception/snug is clad in hand-made plaster jail work addressing the lobby and coffee shop. The bedrooms are characterised by their bamboo floors, teak furniture and brightly coloured fabrics.
