Creating a dialogue between the old and the new…

By: Publication details: New Delhi Burda Media India Private Limited 2019Edition: Vol.36(5), MayDescription: 38-43pSubject(s): Online resources: In: Architecture+DesignSummary: Set in the heart of the walled city of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, the project is a 1.5-acre property uniquely located at the base of the Mehrangarh Fort. The brief was to create a luxury boutique hotel with 39 rooms in the context of the old city quarter of Jodhpur. This has been translated into a project where there is a dialogue between the old and the new. Luxury was about being authentic both in terms of materials and workmanship, and in providing visitors a tactile and sensual experience within the historical context of the old city of Jodhpur without aping the old. The property was inherited with three, beautiful period structures (17th-18th century) which have been painstakingly restored with traditional craftsman in the original materials such as lime mortar and Jodhpur sandstone. As many as 36 rooms have been created, spread over three contemporary buildings, (using the same materials and skills as the traditional buildings) inserted into the site in a manner that they frame the visual and spatial relationship among the old buildings and the fort, creating a dialogue between the old and the new.
