“All the elements of the house are designed to fit seamlessly into the beautiful Goan village landscape. Laterite and lime plaster have been used across the house to keep it naturally cool during the balmy summers. There is also a permaculture garden where local trees and saplings have been planted to let the flora and fauna thrive.” writes journalist Rashmi Haralalka, from #.

It was love at first sight for Mumbai-based Deepak and Leenika Jacob, when they met their now-home in north Goa, once decrepit and crumbling. Built in 1932, it stands on a lush three-fourth of an acre of land in Pilerne Marra, Bardez, where the couple wanted to build a permaculture garden to be able to lead a farm-to-table lifestyle.

Leenika runs Kala Chaupal, a not-for-profit organisation that works at the intersection of art, culture and environment—an ethos embodied by the home as well. It’s ancient, it’s Portuguese, and it’s curiously nicknamed “Seven Doors”, a feature of the home that ties its past and present together.

“‘Seven Doors House’ () is what the neighbours have called this house since 1932, and we stayed with the name,” says Leenika. It was restored by a team of specialists—architects and designers—who knew they had to retain the skeleton of the original, while responding to needs of our times. Read more about the Jacobs’ home at the link in bio.

Did you know that our doors have intricate tales woven into stained glass?
The doors’ stained glass design narrates the captivating story of Pilerne’s transformation. Once devoid of rice fields, the Gaunkars of Carambolim undertook the extraordinary task of converting the riverbed into fertile fields, a labour that spanned decades. As a token of gratitude, the Pilernkars integrated them into their communidade as the fourth vangod, labelling them ‘Furtadores’ or ‘Furtados’—a title rooted in history. The Furtados, bound by faith to St. John De Baptist, embarked on a daring quest, pilfering his statue from Carambolim and relocating it to Pilerne.

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.
