7-Star Hotel Luxury at Home: How Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA) Redefined Interior Design at Opus One
When you step into a world-class seven-star resort, the feeling is unmistakable: subtle light catching rich Italian marble, seamless transitions between spaces, acoustic tranquility, and an undeniable aura of understated elegance.
Now imagine waking up to that exact experience every single day—in your own private residence.
At Opus One by GB Realty, North India’s flagship ultra-luxury residential landmark in Eco City 2, New Chandigarh, luxury isn’t just an afterthought or a surface treatment. It is baked into the very DNA of the homes through a landmark global collaboration: interior design exclusively curated by Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), Singapore.
Who is HBA? (And Why This Collaboration is Historical)
For decades, Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA) has been the undisputed global leader in luxury hospitality design. From iconic Ritz-Carlton properties to elite international retreats, HBA defines how the ultra-wealthy experience comfort, texture, and space across the globe.
A First for Indian Real Estate:
Opus One marks HBA’s very first residential interior project in India. GB Realty brought in Singapore’s premier design firm with one uncompromising vision: to ensure that when residents return home from a 7-star hotel, they feel their Opus One residence is even better.
Inside the HBA Interior Experience: Key Architectural & Design Elements
HBA’s interior philosophy at Opus One balances emotional warmth, spatial volume, and uncompromising material quality. Here are the hallmark features crafted into these sky residences:
1. Grand 11.5-Foot Ceiling Heights & Floor-to-Ceiling Glass
Standard residential developments usually offer 9.5 to 10-foot ceilings. HBA elevated Opus One sky residences with soaring 11.5-foot floor-to-ceiling heights paired with double-glazed, motorized curtain-ready glass facades. The result is a floods of natural light, reduced thermal absorption, and uninterrupted views of the Shivalik hillscape.
2. Exclusive Dual-Core Privacy with Private Foyer Entries
HBA designed spaces for living, not just looking. Each floor features a dual-core layout with only two residences per floor. High-speed private elevators open directly into your private foyer—ensuring total personal security and immediate acoustic quiet the moment the elevator doors open.
3. Hand-Selected Organic & Mineral Finishes
- Flooring: Highest-grade imported Italian marble spanning living and dining zones.
- Kitchens: Premium Onyx countertop and back-splash finishes paired with ergonomic modular layouts.
- Doors & Carpentry: Teakwood veneer flush doors with bespoke international hardware.
- Wet Areas: Premium anti-skid porcelain and marble tiles for both aesthetics and family safety.
4. Spa-Inspired Master Suites
HBA treated the private sanctuaries with royal detail. Master and junior suites feature dual vanities. The master bath steps into spa territory with a standalone soaker tub, separate rain-shower enclosure, and custom walk-in wardrobe provisions.
5. 1,150 Sq. Ft. Wrap-Around Balconies
In HBA’s vision, outdoor spaces aren’t just narrow ledges—they are organic extensions of the formal drawing room. The massive wrap-around balconies offer an expansive alfresco venue for entertaining, evening lounge seating, or private morning coffee over the valley.
