Project: Rooftop Bar Architect: Gaurav Kharkar & Associates.

- Tina Thakrar

The Notomoro rooftop restobar and café in Udaipur is the newest modern addition to the city. The space was designed on the roof of a hotel by Gaurav & Vidhita Kharkar, after a thorough analysis of not only the site but also the client’s requirements. Contrary to most of the other rooftop restaurants in the city, which have lake side views and more of a traditional fusion theme, Notomoro offers a mountain view with the blazing Rajasthani sunset in the background, and has a more trendy theme.

It’s hard to imagine what the originally unused space looked like — filled with haphazardly placed outdoor air conditioner units, solar heaters and dish antennae. Now, Notomoro is a chic, thoughtfully-planned bar that even systematically houses its original occupants.
