The site is located at a distance of 105 km to the north of Mumbai. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is peaceful and beautiful, with a plethora of coconut trees.

As you enter the property, you are welcomed by the green coconut grove. The house peeks through the trees and bushes and reveals itself slowly as you go closer. The exterior is designed in tones of white and black defining the contrast. This makes it stand out amongst the green scape.

The design process resulted in the reimagining of the existing two-bedroom property and converting it into a three-bedroom house with an extended porch for the ocean view. A private outhouse was also constructed on the property which doubles as a guest room. The roof, which was earlier covered in terracotta Mangalore tiles, is now cloaked in dark grey clay tiles giving it a completely new character.

This home was a weekend getaway for the clients. The house has been remodeled so that all rooms have a view of the beach, allowing the maximum sea breeze to flow into the spaces. The porch in the backyard was extended to provide uninterrupted views of the ocean.
