WAVES AND SHELLS granite mural at NOVOTEL HOTEL VARUN BEACH,VISHAKAPATNAM.
The NAUTILUS SHELLS in the circular niches( WITH COVE LIGHTING) were initially proposed in metal either STAINLESS STEEL, NICKEL COATED BRASS OR ALUMINIUM, but the client was against the metals as he argued that continous sea breeze shall corrode even the 304 grade stainless steel. So the idea was dropped and we thought of mossaic with shell(irradiant inside part), with the groove(6mm) in valute shape as the alternate.
