The client, a marine rescue operations and engineering professional, chose a location for this white house design near the airport in Vanana, Porbandar. During the Covid-19 pandemic, they discussed various design concepts and plans for their house. The site, which measures 65,000 sq. feet, required three bedrooms, large openings, and a green connection. The client wanted a soothing and functional house that was also parent-friendly, as it would be used by his in-laws frequently.
Editor’s Note: “Cloaked in stark whites this residence in Porbandar evokes a tranquil aura with the high ceiling walls and immaculate indoor-outdoor connect. The delicate interplay of whites and browns, woven through open planning, shapes a singular living experience. Beyond, the serene pool mirrors the sky, its sunken seating inviting a zen-like calm for moments of relaxation.” ~Simran Khare
The White House Design Has A Seamless Visual Connection | Dipen Gada and Associates
The white house design features a long driveway, a porch with a large white wall mass, a high-ceiling living room, a dining and family living room, a small covered deck area, and a deck with a long pool.
These spaces are interwoven with each other and nature, creating a seamless visual connection.
The swimming pool is located between a tall living room and a master bedroom and falls between the living-dining and garden spaces.
There are three bedrooms in the house, with the master bedroom situated next to the pool and front garden space. Two more bedrooms are placed next to each other, each with an alcove and a deck that opens into a Zen garden at the back.
The bathrooms are clean, simple, and minimal, with a skylight and open shower adding energy to the space. The toilet for the master bedroom is a spa-like space with whites and blues, adding to the overall aesthetic.
The sky’s reflection in the pool amidst the white walls and fluted plaster creates a mesmerizing visual. A circular sunken space outside the formal living area offers a unique outdoor seating experience.
The house’s landscape extends this language of simplicity, featuring a vast carpet of green lawn with indigenous plant species and wild grasses.
