Amerchand Mansions

Amerchand Mansions, a Grade IIA heritage structure, is a prominent Gothic Revival building distinguished by its bell roof and lantern. A continuous cast-iron railing defines the precinct. Designed in the Indo-Saracenic style, the building retains most original features and remains structurally sound, reflecting sustained maintenance.

It is a G+3 load-bearing structure with two terraces, 4.5 m floor heights, and a 34 m central tower. The symmetrical north elevation has five bays, with the central bay forming the main tower and porch. Recessed verandas admit north light. The structure comprises triple-leaf composite masonry with lime mortar, jack-arch slabs on steel beams, and a timber-supported bell roof.

The proposal focuses on structural consolidation using conservation methods, retaining the original form while enhancing the fabric for improved stability and presentation. Alterations are limited to reorganization of existing services—electrical, air-conditioning, water supply, and drainage.
