Discover ASSAGAO: A Unique House in Serene Goa

House in Assagao

House is located in Assagao (Goa), a small and serene village in the North of Goa. Built on a narrow plot of land, 12.5mtr in width is surrounded by a house on one side and a busy village road in front. The house is designed to be more inward looking and has its own atmosphere responding to nature by means of open to sky courtyards. The site slope of 2mts is traversed very gradually through the house. Being a low structure in the front, it responds to the overall scale of the village. Planning incorporates courtyards in order to provide extra spill over area for all usable spaces, providing relief from constraints of the site. The house is designed on a simple principle of creating a homogeneity in its space, articulation and finish. The spaces try to carefully maintain a balance between privacy of its inhabitants & the need to be sociable. The house is essentially primordial, responding to the sun, moon, rain and sky with a human scale, gestures that are oldest and most known to man.
