Roofs
The roofing system is typical in its context, inviting admiration for its smooth curves, final finish, and above all for its role in creating thermal comfort.
Openings
The Haveli exhibits an increased emphasis on the design of the openings. Its proportions have influenced the surface articulation and architectural detailing of the facade. The most important feature of the openings is the harmonious relationship between the space inside the construct and its surroundings, which in every way speaks of the social and climatic considerations that were kept in mind while planning.
Projections
The number of openings increased in the Haveli throughout its process of evolution. To shade these punctures (for protection), the Haveli has continuous projections rather than individual 'Chajja', above the openings.
Staircases
These are supported by a continuous stone slab which rests upon the side masonry wall. Dimensionally these stone slabs are of size 2'6" X 3'6" and its thickness is one and a half inch.
Arches
Pointed arches are present in the Morarka Haveli both for structural and decorative purposes. These arches are supported by circular columns and crowned by decorative floral patterns.
Columns
The columns are circular in the typical Hindu style, and are repeatedly used in row and grid patterns so as to create open spaces and the rhythm in both internal and external facades.
