A river of lights

Located on the prestigious Boat Club Road in Pune, this emblematic luxury hotel residence stands within one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Spanning approximately 9,290 square meters, the building hosts ten exclusive, fully furnished hotel apartments, each occupying an entire floor of 743 square meters, offering residents and guests an exceptional level of privacy, comfort and discretion.

Developed by Merint Developers, the project was envisioned by architect Pravir Sethi, founder of Studio Hinge. The initial interior design was led by Aedas, while Atkins oversaw the early planning stages. Fourth Dimension Architects Pvt. Ltd. managed the structural and MEP design and acted as the local liaison architect.

Atelier dada was invited to refine and complete the lighting concepts for key spaces, including the lobby, show apartment and outdoor areas. At the heart of the lobby, a bespoke luminaire conceived by Studio Hinge and crafted by Studio Klove becomes a defining element of the experience. Composed of 274 hand-blown glass rods with brass inserts and programmable fiber-optic lighting, the chandelier offers a dynamic and refined presence. While budget constraints required certain simplifications, the final installation remains a luminous focal point, combining elegance and movement.

Beyond the lobby, Atelier dada’s lighting interventions extend to the terraces, clubhouse, pool and bar areas. Subtle and precisely calibrated, the lighting enhances natural elements and noble materials, creating a seamless dialogue between architecture, landscape and atmosphere.

This luxury hotel residence embodies a collaborative approach to design, where architecture, interiors and light converge to create a distinctive living experience. Every detail contributes to a refined hospitality environment, offering guests a sense of calm, exclusivity and timeless elegance in the heart of Pune.
