印度果阿别墅项目

Villas in Goa, India

The Goa project comprises two premium contemporary villas situated on a sloping site with a height difference of approximately 15 metres. The houses are designed in accordance with VASTU philosophy, which guided the planning structure, entrance placement, and orientation to the cardinal points.

Both villas are connected by a shared leisure area with a water feature and an art sculpture, forming the emotional heart of the ensemble. The project integrates the natural topography, contemporary architecture, and Eastern principles of harmony.

• Plot area — 27.5 ares

• Floors: 2

Client’s Task

The client’s objective was to create two houses of equal scale but different functions: a main family residence and a guest house that can serve as independent accommodation or be rented. The architecture had to respect VASTU principles, integrate organically with the complex terrain, and preserve privacy and panoramic views.

Concept

The primary idea was to embed the architecture into the natural slope without disrupting its form. Thanks to the natural height difference, the houses appear single-storey from the road but reveal themselves as full two-storey villas from the opposite side.

The space between the villas became a focal point, featuring a decorative pond, sculptural composition, and fire pit, unifying both villas into a cohesive architectural whole.

Architecture

The architectural solution follows the principles of functional minimalism and harmonious landscape integration. The villa composition mirrors the hill lines, as if carved into the slope.

Façades combine natural stone, timber, and glass. German Schüco glazing profiles, large-format Italian porcelain tiles, and premium local wood for soffits and façade insets are employed.

Generous roof overhangs and wide terraces protect the interiors from harsh sun and tropical rain, while glass balustrades preserve uninterrupted valley views.

The two buildings are visually linked by a shared staircase and consistent architectural logic, yet remain structurally independent.

Both villas are constructed from monolithic reinforced concrete with a frame system. The lower level is reinforced with a retaining wall to prevent soil movement. Foundations are waterproofed to withstand the region’s high humidity.

Façade finishes include Italian porcelain tile, local natural stone, and timber. Panoramic glazing is executed using Schüco systems.

Engineering solutions feature concealed Invisible ventilation grilles, perimeter drainage, and exterior lighting emphasizing the architecture at night.
