架构师提供的文本描述。RAAS坐落在拉贾斯坦邦有围墙的城市Jodhpur的中心地带，是一处1.5英亩的地产，位于Mehrangarh要塞的底部。简短的是创建一家豪华精品酒店，拥有39间客房，位于焦德布尔老城区。这已转化为一个新旧对话的项目。在材料和做工方面，奢侈品都是真实的，在老城市焦德普尔的历史背景下，为游客提供触觉和感官体验，而不模仿老城市。这一财产继承了三座美丽的时期建筑(17至18世纪)，这些建筑在原始材料如石灰灰浆和焦德布尔砂岩中用传统的工匠精心修复。

Text description provided by the architects. Set in the heart of the walled city of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, RAAS is a 1.5-acre property uniquely located at the base of the Mehrangarh Fort. The brief was to create a luxury boutique hotel with 39 rooms in the context of the Old city quarter of Jodhpur. This has been translated into a project where there is a dialogue between the old and the new. Luxury was about being authentic both in terms materials and workmanship, and in providing visitors a tactile and sensual experience within the historical context of the old city of Jodhpur without aping the old. The property was inherited with three, beautiful period structures (17th-18th century) which have been painstakingly restored with traditional craftsman in the original materials such as lime mortar and Jodhpur sandstone.

已经创建了36间房间，分布在3座当代建筑中(使用与传统建筑相同的材料和技能)，这些房间被插入到现场，使旧建筑和炮台之间的视觉和空间关系形成框架，创造了新旧建筑之间的对话。

36 rooms have been created, spread over 3 contemporary buildings, (using the same materials and skills as the traditional buildings) inserted into the site in a manner that they frame the visual and spatial relationship among the old buildings and the Fort, creating a dialogue between the old and the new.

受该地区古老的双层皮肤建筑的启发，这些建筑(拉贾斯坦尼建筑的传统石网式jharokha形式-它具有被动冷却和为用户提供隐私的多种功能)充当了网站框架的灯笼。这些面板可以被每个用户折叠起来，以不间断地展示堡垒的景色，或者为了隐私而关闭，并将刺眼的Jodhpur太阳遮挡在外，这一事实更加突出了石头贾利(格子)的戏剧性。

Inspired by the age old double skinned structures of the region, (the traditional stone latticed jharokha forms of Rajasthani architecture – which perform multiple functions of passive cooling and offering privacy to the user) these buildings act as lanterns framing the site. The drama of the stone jaali (lattice) is heightened by the fact that these panels can be folded away by each user to reveal uninterrupted views of the fort, or can be closed for privacy and to keep the harsh Jodhpur sun out.

大的中央庭院里有三座修复过的文物建筑。这些成为节点，共享的空间，如餐饮区，水疗中心，分开空间，所有的客人都可以享受。这里还有3套遗产套房。所有服务都是用绿色方法和技术规划的。从建筑物和其他地方流出的雨水都是通过作为景观组成部分的坑进行的。

The large central courtyard houses the three restored heritage buildings. These become nodes, shared spaces such as dining areas, a spa, break away spaces, to be enjoyed by all the guests. These also house 3 heritage suites. All the services have been planned with Green methods and technologies. All the rainwater runoff from the buildings and rest of the site is being harvested through pits that are an integral part of the landscape.

产生的废水100%使用污水处理厂在现场进行再利用。Jodhpur是印度阳光最充足的城市之一，这一事实已经被利用，所有客房的热水都是太阳能加热的。空调系统是以可变制冷剂体积为基础的，这是目前最环保的空调技术之一，并享有白金利兹评级。

100% of the wastewater generated is reused at site using a Sewage treatment plant. The fact that Jodhpur is one of the sunniest cities in India has been harnessed and all hot water in guest rooms is solar heated. The air-conditioning system is Variable Refrigerant Volume based, which is amongst the greenest technologies available currently for air conditioning and enjoys a Platinum LEEDS rating.
