The initial notion for the interiors was to create an unwinding space for the techie couple both of whom have hectic work schedules and desired their home to be a sanctuary from the chaos of everyday life. The house needed to extend as a working space as well as have warmth to create a sense of comfort and relaxation. This Goa home embraces the sense of minimalism, allowing the purity of form and texture to be highlighted, through its achromatic interiors. Thereby creating an atmosphere of simplicity and tranquillity, providing residents a respite from the chaos of the outside world.
