ARANYAK
Villa in Colvale, North Goa
This exquisite 6 bed room villa, perched on a hilly slope, provides breath taking views of sprawling paddy fields and the serene Chapora Tributary, integrating with nature peacefully.
A Charming Riverside Village Nestled amidst lush green paddy fields, Colvale is a picturesque village located along the banks of the Chapora river. The rustic steel bridge spanning the river has been a major boost for trade and commerce, connecting Colvale to other parts of Goa. The village is known for its magnificent views of coconut palms lining the roadside and the wide stretch of the Chapora river. It has a rich history, with ties to King Porus' reign and its strategic importanc
ARANYAK orchestrates a journey from the entrance to the paddy fields. Using strong visual lines punctuated with landscaped courtyards and terraces. The journey immerses us in a dialogue between the built environment and the untamed natural beauty that envelops it.
ARANYAK’s form and orientation maximise views of the landscape from all key living areas. Openings are positioned to welcome in the soft, diffused northern light while the structure itself shields the interiors from the harsh afternoon sun on the west. Large sliding doors and windows dramatically transform interior spaces, creating magical inside-outside connections.

The architecture of our project in this serene setting takes you on a journey from the entrance to the vast expanse of the paddy fields, utilizing strong visual lines punctuated with thoughtfully landscaped courtyards and terraces. This journey immerses you in a dialogue between the built environment and the untamed beauty that surrounds it.
With a plot size of 2,875 sqm (3,435 sq. yds.), and a built-up area of 1,310 sqm (14,100 sq. ft.), ARANYAK serves as a haven providing an escape from daily hustle, inviting you to a life of unparalleled grandeur, with every detail showcasing meticulous design and a deep reverence for nature.
ARANYAK invites us to beauty and stillness. A canopy of Elephant-ears reveal a balcão with a rammed-earth wall. The gazebo above, perched at the edge of a food forest, suspends us between earth and sky.
The courtyard is a threshold. An ancient rock wall with a waterfall reflects on floor to ceiling glass windows. The circular cutout above invites a look at the sky as we stand in a pebble garden.

Each glance here is a living portrait of the landscape. Floor to ceiling glass with clean lines create a contrasting harmony with rocks. A carpet underneath displays a merging of the natural and cosmic.
Burnished wood and natural light surround us as we gather to break bread. A rustic wooden table and rattan lampshades add warmth as we sit on suede chairs. Floor-to-ceiling windows blur the inside and out.
As night approaches, we immerse in a bathtub under twilight sky.
