Part of the JDH Urban Regeneration Project in Jodhpur, India’s famed 'Blue City', this project involved the refurbishment of a historic residential building, adapting it to house retail operations for Ayurvedic cosmetics brand Forest Essentials. The design scheme is replete with regional elements – the blue and gold colour palette; traditional multi-foil arches, strategically resized to achieve balance; hand-cut linoleum flooring, an adaptation of local mosaic patterns; vernacular gold-plating techniques for window signage; and a scaled model of the step-well and the public square itself.
