Parents House by Matharoo Associates

This house is a concrete residence for the architect’s elderly parents and their visiting sons, daughter and grand children. Architects: Matharoo Associates Location: Rajasthan, Ajmer, India
The Rajasthani city of Ajmer is an important destination on the Muslim pilgrimage trail and its suburb Pushkar also bears huge religious significance for Hindus. With a complex, dense and at times chaotic urban grain, despite its mofussil flotsam Ajmer exudes a slow pace of life. Pensioners typically retire to Ajmer, eager to enjoy its adjacency to both the Aravali foothills and lake below and retreat into laid back twilight years.
