Rajasthan is synonymous with stone as building material but sadly over the last few decades this material has been reduced to a 'cladding 'medium and its potential as a robust and sustainable structural element has not been exploited.

Tools used
Local methods of dry stone construction. A minimal amount of steel such as tie-rods and shear pins reinforce the stone for seismic performance. Lime mortar is used only to seal the exterior joints
Construction
At our request, the quarry foreman reverted to the “ splitting” stone technique using traditional stonemasonry tools instead of the high-yield gangsaw extraction that is machine intensive and eliminates the natural stone grain. Splitting the stone mobilizes the human touch, limits the processing, and retains the natural Earth imprint of the stone
Material
Hard sandstone ( Jodhpur stone) is quarried 45 mins away from the site

Vartika Jangid: Floating away from all the troubles, finding your own mirage of thoughts. This illustration is a representation of one escaping from the monotones of daily life and finding their own escape. When the hot bath soothes you down, you create your own visions, your own world of escape.

Vartika Jangid: Continuing on the note of escapism, Sunshower is a spatial experiment that is a muse of two contrasting palettes – the subtle greens of the nature and the urban concrete palette. In this world of hectic life where every hour is a rush hour, Sunshower is an escape from reality.
