.designed by Ar. Ankur Gautam.
Situated amidst the Industrial Town of Rajasthan , the township gains an advantage of being developed as a sports city with world-class sports facilities.
The Architectural style of the township & Entrance Gateway has been emerged from a unique juxtaposition of Regional style of Rajasthan and the Modernist style which is global in it’s essence.
Regional style of Rajasthan, present in it’s spatial grandeur, intricate detailing & shaped around the city’s culture & traditions has been adopted as a theme, minimalizing the detailing & carvings , at the same time retaining certain inevitable aspects like :: Scale , Ratios, Proportions, Profiles, Materials, Textures, Rhythm & Symmetry.
Jantar Mantar being in close proximity & revered as symbol of knowledge, culture Nature & the cosmic connection with Human forms is an ideal inspiration when one talks about symbolism of Rajasthan.

This generates a sense of home & physical & psychological harmony with the surrounding spaces, fulfilling the role of designed project in terms of contextuality & human comfort.
