About Mandarin's House
Several courtyard houses form a layered domestic setting, with grey brick walls, timber lattice windows and arched ornament combining Chinese and Western influences. Mother-of-pearl window panels add another material detail associated with Indian craftsmanship. Move through the courtyards slowly and compare the openings and finishes as well as the larger rooms; the interest lies in how these different traditions were joined in one family compound.
What to look for
- Grey brickwork and Chinese timber lattice windows contrast with arched decoration.
- Mother-of-pearl window panels add a distinctive translucent material to the house.
