Earth House

Situated along side a canal lined with coconut trees in the quaint village of Siolim in North Goa, the Earth House is a luxury tropical villa designed with earthy stone and teak wood textures, shaded courtyards around large existing trees and a large water pool around palms reflecting the gentle and rooted nature of our Earth.

Fronting the canal, the earth house consists of longer linear bays that open towards it offering views of the quaint coconut palm filled water edge.

Existing old trees are preserved all around the house with internal courtyards shaped around them to give a truly outdoor and tropical mood within the interiors.

The entrance to the villa is through a custom crafted teak wood louvred door creating a modern semi open veranda feel crating a warm, inviting feel into this large house through its perforated sunlight on the cool concrete floors.

The interiors of this luxury tropical villa is mix of earthy materials, sand tones and teakwood details. The double height living space overlooks the pool and with its slide and fold doors open the space to the coconut lined pool and surrounding landscape.

The wooden artwork wall on one side of the wall made of reused teak wood gives warmth to the entire space. Finishes for walls and floors as well black stained wood for creating a cool chic style.

Cane furniture and green upholstered sofa reflect the sinuous architectural elements within the house as well as the tropical Goan craft and local materials.

The landscape around the pool takes its cues from the dramatic lines of the house to create spaces that flow in and out seamlessly giving a dynamic, experiential and picturesque quality to the entire house.
