# Squatting Accommodations The Ahmedabad Hotel by Studio Symbiosis is Inspired by Waves in Nature By Meghan Young | Published 2012-09-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ahmedabad-hotel References: [plusmood](http://plusmood.com/2012/09/ahmedabad-hotel-studio-symbiosis/) & [studio-symbiosis](http://www.studio-symbiosis.com/) Although the Ahmedabad Hotel is inspired by nature, specifically the idea of waves found in natural settings, it happens to look like a squatting yogi. The top portion rises to the sky like a straight back while the base juts out to each side like a pair of knees in a squat. Whatever this [five star building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-hans) may look like, it offers an iconic visual that will add to the skyline in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Designed by [Studio Symbiosis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-saransh), the Ahmedabad Hotel is filled with soft touches, [calming curves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaazh-house) and a sense of elegance that will instantly win over any guest. The Ahmedabad Hotel is comprised of three waves, each of which will host dramatic key spaces on both the upper and lower floors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Nature-inspired Architecture:** There is an opportunity for architects and designers to explore nature-inspired designs, such as waves, to create visually iconic buildings. - **Soft and Curved Aesthetics:** Designing spaces with soft touches, calming curves, and a sense of elegance can appeal to guests and enhance the overall experience. - **Iconic Skylines:** Creating visually striking buildings can contribute to the iconic beauty of a city's skyline and attract visitors. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Design:** Architects and designers can leverage nature-inspired elements and aesthetics to create innovative and visually appealing structures. - **Hospitality and Tourism:** Hotels and accommodations can incorporate soft and curved aesthetics to create a calming and elegant ambiance that attracts guests. - **Urban Development:** Cities can focus on creating visually iconic skylines by encouraging innovative architectural designs that add to the city's unique character. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pyramid-Inspired Hotel Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kymaia-hotel.md) - [Femininity-Exploring Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xique-boutique-hotel.md) - [Organic Cliffside Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intaaya-retreat.md) - [Self-Designed Tranquil Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-saransh.md) - [Riverside Scenic Calming Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boatyard-hotel.md) - [Wabi Sabi-Inspired Wellness Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kod-hotel.md) - [Temple-Inspired Striking Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abin-design-studio.md) - [Elevated River-Accomodating Temples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ganga-leheri-temple.md) - [Warm Tonal Earthy Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aethos-ericeira.md)
