Jaya contemporary design with a pedigree

s:1461:"Something truly surprising happens when travelers stay at a luxury hotel designed by Jaya Ibrahim of Jaya International Design. They discover a hotel like no other. No identical copying. No stage set imitation. No generic environment. Jaya's architecture and interior design firm, with offices in Jakarta, Singapore, Miami, Seychelles and Shanghai, creates hotels, restaurants and residences of uncommon beauty, timeless serenity and cultural authenticity. In this 296-page book, Jaya escorts the reader into nearly two dozen projects in Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the United States. Page after page of stunning color photography shows why his work wins design and travel awards as well as the respect of hoteliers, restaurateurs and guests. Jaya meticulously researches and understands the natural and cultural environments wherever assignments take him. Not only do his hotels capture the spirit of such far-flung places as Jakarta, London and Miami, they draw on their craftsmen, materials and artifacts as well. What awaits you in this tour of Jaya's portfolio? Join guests of the Amanfayun, in Hangzhou, China, as they experience a former farming village transformed into an unforgettable hotel.
