Hajela's residence Navovado

Hajelas' residence is a vacation home is designed as a private oasis; a courtyard house that is connected to nature. Designed as a contemporary house that fits into the Goan village landscape, the front façade has a low pitched tiled roof to merge with the scale of the neighboring homes. At the same time, the façade is contemporary with clean lines, a red door and a composition of square pre-cast windows in exposed concrete.

The heart of the residence lies in the large central courtyard that is an extension of the kitchen, living and dining space. The courtyard houses the swimming pool and provides a green private space to be enjoyed by all the residents of the house. The courtyard morphs in its use depending on the time of day and occasion. The guest bedrooms on the ground floor are like pavilions on either side of the courtyard. The first-floor bedrooms have a large terrace overlooking the courtyard that connects the two levels.
