Stepping into this breathtaking 3,000 sq. ft. villa in Anjuna, Goa, designed by the talented Suvidha Gandhi of Papersky Studio, is like diving headfirst into the heart of coastal living, reimagined with a vibrant Goan twist for a family of four.

The design philosophy embraces a vibrant, modern vibe while celebrating the traditional charm of Goa. Principal designer Suvidha Gandhi masterfully blends rich wood tones with a crisp white backdrop, crafting an inviting and visually soothing atmosphere.

As you step inside, you're enveloped by stunning architecture that bursts with light and openness. The villa masterfully harnesses natural illumination to enhance its airy vibe, instantly making you feel at home. A delightful mix of rich wood tones alongside expansive white spaces creates a refreshing and inviting atmosphere. The bold contrast of sleek black fixtures against the bright backdrop, combined with the cosy allure of rattan and reclaimed wood, infuses the space with warmth and character.

The house’s interior portrays a calming colour scheme, taking inspiration from its coastal environment. Shades of blue, green, cream, ivory and beige are meticulously woven into the furniture and wall decorations. Motifs of flora and fauna, as well as playful stripes and soft bird patterns, punctuate the walls, introducing a hint of whimsy and enhancing the rustic charm of the villa's uneven walls.

The rooms are beautifully warmed by the natural textures of jute and sisal rugs, which enhance the depth of the stone floors. Soft, beach-inspired hues in the sheer curtains gently filter the light, creating a tranquil and serene atmosphere. Accents of navy and coral introduce a subtle touch of personality without detracting from the overall sense of relaxation.

Every detail of this villa, from the playful motifs adorning the walls to the calming colour palette inspired by its coastal surroundings, intricately tells an extraordinary story. With its unique design language and captivating aesthetics, this villa offers an unforgettable living experience that truly embodies the essence of Goa.
