Who We Are

Ochre House –
A Heritage Design Studio

Founded in 2012 by Ananya Rathore, Ochre House emerged from a deep reverence for Rajasthan's architectural legacy and a belief that great interiors must carry a cultural soul.

We are a boutique design studio of 25+ specialists — architects, interior designers, 3D artists, site engineers and master karigars — who work in close collaboration on every project from concept to completion.

Our studio in Bani Park, Jaipur, is itself a testament to what we do: hand-painted frescos, arched doorways, hand-knotted Dhurrie rugs and warm terracotta walls that welcome every client who walks through our doors.

What Guides Everything We Do

🏛️

Heritage-First

Every project begins with Rajasthan's architectural grammar — the arch, the jali, the jarokha, the kund. We don't apply heritage as decoration; we build from it.

🌿

Material Honesty

Stone that feels like stone. Wood that breathes. Plaster that tells its own story. We celebrate the natural integrity of every material we specify.

💫

Emotional Resonance

The best spaces make you feel something the moment you enter. We design for that intangible quality — the catch of breath, the sense of arrival.
