In Goa, where the gentle sea breeze carries the scent of salt, just where the azure sky meets the emerald sea lies a sanctuary. Designed by Kirti Dodeja, this abode in the quiet bylanes of Goa is sure to reignite one’s love for the tropics.
A tide of colours and curves
Bright colours synonymous with shades of land, sky and everything burst forth from different corners of the home. Shades of blue, green, and yellow establish a cheerful ambiance from the very outset.
In the living room, one’s gaze is naturally drawn upward to the ceiling, painted in a deep, tranquil shade of blue. This unexpected colour choice imbues the space with a sense of warmth and intimacy. Moreover, the blue ceiling ingeniously links the living room to the adjoining dining area, fostering a seamless flow between the two spaces.
Airy, lively and bright—three words describe this home the best. The arched walls would make one want to follow them.
However, the true pièce de résistance of this house is the staircase. Adorned with arches that cast intriguing patterns of light and shadow on the walls, the staircase feels like a magical pathway leading to new discoveries.
In the powder room—a small oasis of calm amidst the lively colour palette of the house. The walls here have soft, curved details, offering a peaceful escape from the vibrant ambiance outside.
Sea-inspired splendour
Downstairs, one of the bedrooms features a striking dark olive green ceiling that extends down onto the walls. This unconventional design choice blurs the distinction between the ceiling and the walls, enveloping the room in a cocoon-like embrace. The green hue also interacts beautifully with the outdoor landscape visible through the bedroom window, bringing a touch of nature indoors.
The master bedroom boasts green marble flooring that resembles torn paper—a whimsical and artistic detail that adds a playful touch to the room’s decor.
As the sun sets on one more day, this home reminds us to take a pause and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.
