TAJ PALACE, MUMBAI ARCHETYPE was appointed as Project Manager for the renovation of the iconic century-old Taj Palace hotel in Mumbai following the Nov-08 terrorist attacks. With more than 20 international designers involved, more than 70 work orders, the daunting task of a partial re-opening on the first anniversary of the attacks whilst maintaining the new wing of the hotel open to public throughout the works, presented the most complex organization and programming challenge to the ARCHETYPE team. With multi-disciplinary teams working 24/7 in close coordination on design, procurement, and construction, the public areas were re-open to the public 8 months after our appointment, followed shortly after by the ballroom and the guestroom floors.
