like phantom water , where the things one sees are not really there and where the
things that vanish behind veils of illusion, stands Chokhi Dhani, an ethnic village
and resort with a blend of rustic environment and modern amenities making it an
important destinationin Pink city.

• Chokhi dhani’s concept is to join the Rajasthani tribes from the world.
• Tourists are very much aware of Rajasthan and its culture, but still they are far-far
away from its roots.
• This mainly focuses to reveal the real Rajasthan like the paintings..., Art bani thani...,
The wall decorations..., The cow dung plaster..., The pure food..., The fresh air..., The
evening performances, the enthusiasm, the 'manuhar' (mouthful catering), the
traditions, the costumes etc…
• Thus, preserving and encouraging the village art and culture, to get today's generation

cow dung and husk by the village women from the neighbouring areas.
• The layout design has village temples, devaras, brick jalis and wooden
en- closures.
• Bamboos have been used extensively to integrate one structure with
another. Thus creating harmony.

CRITICALANALYSIS
• Site provides no natural views, which are supposed to be essential for a project like
ethnic village but this shortcoming has been entirely subsided by the environment
created with in the resort.
• Parking area is not detailed is not covered and not given much importance in planning.
• Walkways after car parking are long and unprotected from rain and sun.
• No covered connections between any two units, but problems aroused by this are taken
care by efficient management.
• Reception hall area, capacity, and facilities are grossly insufficient.
• Visitors and recreation areas are well segregated from residential units providing
privacy and avoiding cross circulation patterns.
• Underground bar ,indoor restaurants , performing arenas although elegant and
intimate but also gives feeling of congested ness.
• Variety in design is achieved through different forms provided to huts, variation of
interior facilities and the variety of detailing both in interiors as well as exteriors- give
a sense of individuality and belongingness to the visitors.
• Strong unity and harmony are achieved through the use of materials, detailing and
forms. Also striking contrast can be seen in haveli ,swimming pool ,huts,jungle sair
etc.
• Choki dhani village is open to public only in the evening time and the this eighteen
acres spread gets drenched in darkness so the beauty and the architectural value of this
place goes unrecognised and people come here for mere entertainment .
• 40% of the space is open to sky ,and its not properly managed with climatic shelters.
• Services are not properly managed in kitchen which has led to the smoke getting
deposited in the nearby buildings thus spoiling the beauty of exteriors.
• A/c units fitted and seen in exteriors of all units could be taken care off.
• Loss of sense of direction, also handled efficiently through proper sign boards and
attentive management
• Exploitation of local material and labour has been done in its full causing very low
cost of construction.
• Maintenance and repairs are effort taking but cost low.
• With all its typical ambiance and Chokhi dhani has gained popularity more like
another tourist destination in Jaipur to know and experience the real
Rajasthan under one roof.

Choki dhani Jaipur Case Study

Chokhi dhani is“A placid complex begetting a panoramic countryside view.” In the magical land of Rajasthan where the heat shimmers like phantom water , where the things one sees are not really there and where the things that vanish behind veils of illusion, stands Chokhi Dhani, an ethnic village and resort with a blend of rustic environment and modern amenities making it an important destinationin Pink city. INTRODUCTION GENERAL INFORMATION Designer:Prof. Chinmay Mehta, Total area:18 Acres Cost:1.30 crores (approx.)

It has been divided into two parts: the first is meant for a resort (for the tourists stay) while the other caters to the needs of day-today visitors (i.e.)choki dhani village SITE DESIGN APPORCH Prof. Chinmay Mehta, an artist-designer .He made 3- Dsketches in lieu of architectural drawings, plans, etc. to visualize the idea. SITE • Chokhi Dhani Resort literally meaning the "Fine Hamlet" • Chokhi dhani’s concept is to join the Rajasthani tribes from the world. • Tourists are very much aware of Rajasthan and its culture, but still they are far-far away from its roots. • This mainly focuses to reveal the real Rajasthan like the paintings..., Art bani thani..., The wall decorations..., The cow dung plaster..., The pure food..., The fresh air..., The evening performances, the enthusiasm, the 'manuhar' (mouthful catering), the traditions, the costumes etc… • Thus, preserving and encouraging the village art and culture, to get today's generation closer to their past, to change the philosophy of world about Indian village culture.

  • 9. • The foundations have been generally filled with stones and walls built with stone or brick. • The straight lines of the walls have been broken and rounded before a thin plaster of cement is put and then treated with a combination of mud, cow dung and husk by the village women from the neighbouring areas. • The layout design has village temples, devaras, brick jalis and wooden en- closures. • Bamboos have been used extensively to integrate one structure with another. Thus creating harmony. • The architect has utilized local materials and manpower for the construction. Roof top finished with thatched coir grass which gives a cool environment in the interiors. These were seen in open air performing stages Bamboo structure supports the roofing Wooden columns support the bamboo framework DETAILING OF DOOR AND WINDOWS DETAILING OF FOUNDATION DETAILING OF ROOF GROUND CRITICALANALYSIS • Site provides no natural views, which are supposed to be essential for a project like ethnic village but this shortcoming has been entirely subsided by the environment created with in the resort. • Parking area is not detailed is not covered and not given much importance in planning. • Walkways after car parking are long and unprotected from rain and sun. • No covered connections between any two units, but problems aroused by this are taken care by efficient management. • Reception hall area, capacity, and facilities are grossly insufficient. • Visitors and recreation areas are well segregated from residential units providing privacy and avoiding cross circulation patterns. • Underground bar ,indoor restaurants , performing arenas although elegant and intimate but also gives feeling of congested ness. • Variety in design is achieved through different forms provided to huts, variation of interior facilities and the variety of detailing both in interiors as well as exteriors- give a sense of individuality and belongingness to the visitors. • Strong unity and harmony are achieved through the use of materials, detailing and forms. Also striking contrast can be seen in haveli ,swimming pool ,huts,jungle sair etc. • Choki dhani village is open to public only in the evening time and the this eighteen acres spread gets drenched in darkness so the beauty and the architectural value of this place goes unrecognised and people come here for mere entertainment . • 40% of the space is open to sky ,and its not properly managed with climatic shelters. • Services are not properly managed in kitchen which has led to the smoke getting deposited in the nearby buildings thus spoiling the beauty of exteriors. • A/c units fitted and seen in exteriors of all units could be taken care off. • Loss of sense of direction, also handled efficiently through proper sign boards and attentive management • Exploitation of local material and labour has been done in its full causing very low cost of construction. • Maintenance and repairs are effort taking but cost low. • With all its typical ambiance and Chokhi dhani has gained popularity more like another tourist destination in Jaipur to know and experience the real Rajasthan under one roof. 9
