  • This Villa In Satirje, Alibaug Is A Scattered Collection Of Simple Forms | Case Design

    Tucked in off the gravel road leading to the village of Satirje, Alibaug the main house forms the fourth wall of an intimate motor court protecting the pool and garden beyond. Spread across a one-acre plot, the villa is a scattered collection of simple forms each carefully placed, proportioned, and oriented in response to picturesque views of the introverted garden and the distant hills of Kankeshwar.

    Editorial Note: Hidden within the quiet charm of Alibaug, this villa unfolds like a whispered story, one of stillness, light, and effortless connection to nature. The spaces breathe, opening up to dappled gardens and distant hills, while winding paths and water’s edge invite unhurried moments. It’s a home that feels lived in by the land itself, embracing both solitude and togetherness in perfect balance. ~ Isha Bora

    Textured Exterior

    The rough- hewn texture of the exterior protects the smooth mottled walls of the softly pigmented interiors as lightweight steel supports the thin corrugated sloping roofs.

    Slipped beneath and alongside a row of existing mango trees, a linear pool is clad in black and white granite from Karnataka, leading to an intimate pavilion to the east and two guest houses to the north.

    Simple stone paving is carefully arranged from the broken basalt waste generated in the construction of the house.

    Connecting each of the structures, these paths seamlessly knit the detached buildings to the pool, garden, and larger landscape of Alibaug.
