“Vishram Vaadi Nu Ghar” means a serene retreat amidst mango and chikoo farms, crafted to reflect the client’s vision in their mother tongue Gujarati. Vishram is a serene ground-touch structure offering breathtaking views of the Purna River and is a thoughtful example of countryside house design. Nestled amidst lush Amba and Chikoo Vaadi, the design prioritizes preserving the existing trees, ensuring a harmonious blend with the natural landscape.
Editor’s Note: Vishram Vaadi Nu Ghar reflects calm in its purest form. Gentle breeze, filtered light, and the rustle of trees shape moments of quiet comfort. Each space feels rooted and unhurried, forming a silent dialogue with the land. A home that simply exists, with grace, stillness, and ease. ~Isha Bora
Vishram Vaadi Nu Ghar is a Countryside House Design Immersed in Greens | Ikshhana Design Studio
Through meticulous site planning, the structure’s layout aligns parallel to the riverbank and the site boundary, this maximizes river views and creates a seamless visual and physical connection to the natural surroundings.
This thoughtful orientation enhances the interaction with the waterfront, establishing inviting sightlines and an immersive spatial experience.
The paved entrance leads to the caretaker’s guestroom and designated parking spaces, providing functional yet unobtrusive access. The main structure is defined by two imposing brick-clad walls, carefully designed to emphasize key axes.
These are complemented by saw-toothed walls with sand-faced plaster, imparting an earthy and grounded aesthetic.
Green pockets, open-to-sky spaces, and strategically placed glass skylights allow natural light to flow freely, fostering a profound connection to nature.
All living spaces are thoughtfully connected to these green zones, with the living room positioned to offer uninterrupted views of the river.
The dual-sided open living area bridges the indoor and outdoor worlds, connecting the front landscape to the riverside. Two verandas—one facing the landscaped front and the other overlooking the riverside—further enhance the connection to nature.
A key feature of Vishraam is its gazebo, perfectly positioned by the river to amplify the experience of the outdoor space.
The interplay of greenery, openness, and warmth transforms this home into a tranquil retreat, fulfilling the client’s vision of living in harmony with the natural environment.
