In addition to drawing inspiration from Rajasthani architectural styles, the design is also influenced by Moroccan and Mughal aesthetics. This is reflected in the colour palette of the interiors, mostly Asian Paints’ Natural Coffee colour, wall textures, wood finishes, as well as the furniture and its lively upholstery.

Riwaayat celebrates multiple colours, materials, patterns, textures, and finishes that neither clash nor compete for attention. Each element complements the other, creating a wholesome space that’s bound to leave its visitors awestruck. (Photography

The design language of the space celebrates its regional roots as well as its present function and identity. It pays homage to Rajasthani colours, crafts, materials and techniques and its Moroccan and Mughal influences. The space is opulent yet confi
