House of Revival
GA, India
Kapok House, fondly called as the 'House of Revival' is a restoration project of a 60 year old Indo-Portuguese heritage home, that we have converted to a luxury homestay currently run by Saffron Stays. This 3000 sqft, 4 bedroom villa stands on a 9000 sqft plot of land in the quiet bylanes of Anjuna, North Goa. The restoration of this old Goan home has been nothing short of exhilarating. Breathing new life into an old structure is a patient, thoughtful and painstakingly tedious job, but if done well, rewarding and fulfilling like no other.
The process has taken about a year's time and has slowly taught us so much through the seasons. We've spent countless hours on the balcao in discussion, as we have in admiring the beauty of nature around. Somewhere between scraping through the layers of paint to uncovering what lay beneath, we learnt to take a pause and appreciate all those hands who've given this project their all.
A home that's all things earthy and authentic; our intent was always clear- to design a culture-sensitive retreat rooted in history and context, the true beauty being in its outdoor-led design. Designed around the concept of slow living, the home is dominated by the numerous fun and engaging spaces that we have created for guests to enjoy. From a terrace lounge and bar to an alfresco dining, a poolside snooker room made in mud and a tree-house on the Kapok tree towering above the villa, there's something for everyone!
One of the most important and later defining features of the home that we worked on is the roof structure. From a single roof form with a small protrusion above a central porch, we created a three-tiered, stepped silhouette, expanding the verandah to the length of the home, yet retaining the balcao- Goa's beloved outdoor porch seating, that frames the entrance of the home. With lime plastered walls, sloping Mangalore-tiled roofs and terracotta tiles, this Goan villa is a blend of the old and new, rich in history and stories.
The villa being a load bearing structure with small openings, we had to navigate through the 2-feet thick laterite stone walls to make for larger openings. Our prime focus was in letting more natural light in through larger doors, windows and skylights where possible.
The villa has been converted into a 4 bedroom home from a 2 bedroom one, that had rather unplanned, unconnected pockets. The bedrooms at Kapok are a lesson in balance and restraint. There is a certain quiet, refined charm in combining terracotta tones with wood. We have intentionally retained this warm color palette throughout the home keeping beige as the base- the canvas that blends it all together.
We have intentionally not expanded the home area beyond the existing plinth to give more importance to the outdoor areas and landscaping. Centered around an outdoor-led design, the bedrooms connect with nature and the outdoors as much as the other spaces. This home is all about organic luxury- a home that prioritizes need over want and raw over frills. A measured curation of form, function and material. A quiet dialogue between nature and structure that finds its balance in a world full of flash.
Nature-centric and raw, unfiltered design negates the need of frills and indulgence, yet is soulful and powerful. Raw textures, terracotta, mud and lime finishes as well as the use of rattan and reclaimed wood adds an organic touch of calm and beauty, while being environmentally conscious.
The poolside snooker room has been built in mud excavated for the pool. This zero cement structure built with earth and bamboo is a little nod to sustainability, finished with a thatch roof.
For us as a studio, being close to nature brings a lot of joy and our work in turn, reflects our nature-centric approach. A smooth transition between indoor and outdoor spaces is a conscious attempt in all our projects and according to us is the foundation of intelligent design and holistic well-being. The most thoughtful spaces are those that facilitate human interaction with nature. The true beauty of a space lies in its connection to the outdoors, hence we give land development, designing the surrounding area and landscaping as much, if not more attention as compared to the home.
