Architect Ravi Kumar Gupta & Associates
Kothari Garh
A residence with a royal touch
​
Situated in outskirts of Jaipur, this newly constructed residence has a royal touch with a traditional construction techniques.
​
The landscape amphasises a man made forest and where waterbodies are now home to migrating birds.
​
The glory of the ' past architecture' has been re-inacted through use of Surkhi (lime mortar), carved stone screens, carved pillars brackets, etc. To facilitate aging of the structure the surkhi mortar in exteriors was intentionally left non painted.
​
Interiors are complemented by sand stone flooring and by traditional khamira paint, with some decorative art work by local artisans.
