Working with a traditional architectural vocabulary, building systems and building materials, this design for a resort created a contemporary space for international & domestic tourists. The resort is based on a traditional Shekhawati village and individual rooms are modelled on the different house typologies in a village, such as a potter’s house, a weaver’s house or a farmer’s house. While the rooms incorporate all the luxuries of the contemporary hospitality design, the use of traditional materials, techniques and forms ensures that their knowledge is preserved and kept relevant today.
