Hotel Lakeshore Banquet Hall, Dhaka, Bangladesh
MDM were commissioned to design the banquet hall for Hotel Lakeshore in Gulshan, Dhaka. The challenge was to design a hall with floor-space of 1,700sqm, but without using columns inside.
The ground floor of building contains a reception, lobby and car-parking area, and the first floor contains the pre-function area, washrooms and main hall. The columns and beams of the structure are made of pre-fabricated steel and the slabs are reinforced concrete.
The banquet hall features high-quality floor finishes, a plasterboard ceiling, and LED lights in the roof to resemble a starry night sky. Wood and aluminum panels were used for both the internal and external cladding.
The project was completed in 2011.
