Project Note
The challenge of designing a residential villa in Jodhpur was trifold: extreme climate, small footprint and quite a few requirements. The house is Vastu compliant - ancient Indian design principles regarding space, sunlight, flow and function.
A restricted plot in a society scheme, encumbered with existing adjoining buildings along its compound walls on two sides, and two roads along its north and east sides. Hence, we needed to create privacy, through orientation of the views, screens and courtyards, as well as landscape design. The little gardens, decks, waterbodies, sculpture court, sky lit balconies and terrace gardens – all enhance its spatial feel.
In a city where temperatures routinely exceed 40 degrees, the filigree screen is both functional and aesthetic. It looks spectacular at night, and during the day it creates beautiful reflections on the large window panes. From the first landing you get a feel of the double height, of the expanse and a new angle to the screen which gives the villa its character: it combines the past (jalis), with a feeling of modern, clean lines.
