  • Vishram Vaadi Nu Ghar is a Countryside House Design Immersed in Greens | Ikshhana Design Studio

    “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

    Connection to Nature

    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.
