The steps are a tiny inspiration from .gaudi.

The upper deck is connected to the ‘Birders Room’ aka ‘The Reading Room’. More often than not the book sits on the lap while one gazed into the green.

The morning lark is sure to make a visit to say hello to an early riser. The sunbirds welcome the first rays of sunlight waiting for the flowers to unfurl their petals.

The rain tree casts a shadow on the open deck as you partake of the morning cuppa.

The planters chair awaits the discerning….

“And I have loved thee, ocean! And my joy
Of youthful sports was on thy breast to be
Borne, like thy bubbles, onward: from a boy
I wanton'd with thy breakers-they to me
Were a delight; and if the freshening sea
Made them a terror-'twas a pleasing fear,
For I was as it were a child of thee,
And trusted to thy billows far and near,
And laid my hand upon thy mane - as I do here.”- George Gordon Byron

Looking yonder from the blue room. The floor shimmers….

The first floor alfresco patio is a great place for an early riser. The rain tree not only provides shade from the rising sun but plays host to multiple small birds and squirrels.

Mumbai-based Deepak and Leenika Jacob were looking for a place in Goa from the perspective of making a home and an experiential holiday rental. In December 2020, they chanced upon a decrepit Portuguese house sitting on a three-fourth of an acre of land and fell in love with the villa in Goa. Leenika runs Kala Chaupal (), a non-profit organisation on arts, culture and environment. She staunchly believed that restoration is essential for heritage homes to survive and acknowledge the geographic uniqueness of an area.

Located in Pilerne Marra, Bardez, the 11,000 square-foot property is landscaped considering Goan biodiversity and features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a reading room, a game room, a formal drawing room and three patios. Dean D'Cruz (), the principal architect at Mozaic Design and associate architect Ashika Nadaph () of DesignVan (.van) worked closely on the project with the homeowners, the restoration team from Jeernodhar Conservators, Swati Ghandkar of The Glass Studio and Asmita Parelkar () of Wild Gardens (). The house is famously known as the 'Seven Doors House' in the neighbourhood, and the owners stuck to it.

The Coming Of Night By Emily Dickinson

‘How the old mountains drip with sunset,
And the brake of dun!
How the hemlocks are tipped in tinsel
By the wizard sun!

How the old steeples hand the scarlet,
Till the ball is full, —
Have I the lip of the flamingo
That I dare to tell?
Then, how the fire ebbs like billows,
Touching all the grass
With a departing, sapphire feature,
As if a duchess pass!
How a small dusk crawls on the village
Till the houses blot;
And the odd flambeaux no men carry
Glimmer on the spot!
Now it is night in nest and kennel, And where was the wood,
Just a dome of abyss is nodding Into solitude! —
These are the visions baffled Guido;
Titian never told;
Domenichino dropped the pencil, Powerless to unfold.

Accents of repurposed and antique wood highlight the house. The dining table reflects the wooden ceiling illuminated by a 50’s chandelier and the portuguese chairs invite you to a past history ambience.

Enjoy Mushroom magic at

‘Backyard mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of an underground fungus growing under the soil in your backyard.

These fungi play a crucial role in breaking down the woody organic material in the soil, making it more productive. ‘

Natural stone pool adds a luxurious touch while being architecturally more resilient.

The pool blends into the environment and reflects the trees on the property like the rainforest and silk cotton tree. The water is always cool and there is a reduced need for chlorine addition ltd.
