Located in Anjuna, Goa, this villa combines Goan charm with European aesthetics, showcasing how natural materials and smart design offer both comfort and luxury. The design integrates natural elements into a tranquil aesthetic, featuring high ceilings, full windows, and smooth river-washed limestone floors. Uneven walls, natural country prints, and a palette of beige, grey, and stone-inspired colors create a cohesive and serene interior.
