The brief
A three-generation family wanted one home that felt like the havelis they grew up in — shared courtyard, private wings — without giving up modern comfort or parking.
Design story
The plan turns inward: rooms open onto a shaded courtyard rather than the street, the way traditional Jaipur homes did. A sandstone jaali screen on the west facade filters the harsh evening sun into moving patterns; deep verandas shade the openings. Structure is RCC with brick infill, finished in lime plaster for breathability.

“They translated how our family actually lives into a plan — the courtyard is where everyone gathers every evening.”
