Iconic Palace
In the year 2008, we had a great opportunity to get associated with one of our most satisfying project ever undertaken by us till date.
Iconic Palace
- Clients:Taj Falaknuma Palace
- Location:Hyderabad
- Project Year:2008
- Project Types:Hospitality
- Area:6000 sq.ft
I got a call from Mr. Arindam Mukherjee, who was the General Manager, Projects at Taj Hotels. Taj was in the process of taking over the management of Falaknuma Palace to convert it into a luxury hotel. At the time this 115-year-old palace had some intricate wooden floors that needed to be restored. The design of the parquetry was exquisite and elaborate. But it was in terrible shape.
Each panel was made from exotic species like Indian Ebony, Rosewood, White Cedar, Teak. When we counted, some rooms have more than 22 species of wood as a part of design. Remember these floors were handmade and done more than 150 years ago.
It took us more than 2 years to restore & renovate about 6000 sq.ft of flooring. The management of the palace was very particular that the restored floor looked almost like the original floor both in terms of colour and feel.
