Vikram Goyal’s dreamy Goa villa

This stunning and award-winning, two-level bungalow, designed by internatio­nally recognised designer Vikram Goyal is built on a plot area of 13,960 sq ft in the serene village of Moira. It has stunning views of the Moira church to the east, and paddy fields and a mangrove-lined river to the north. The 4 BHK bungalow has a built-up area of 7,642 square feet.

The driveway to the bungalow is laid with laterite, a locally available rust-coloured stone. The entrance opens to the upper level of the bungalow, which has the master bedroom, two guest bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms.

The spacious master bedroom has an adjoining dressing room that leads to a luxurious master bathroom. All the bedrooms on this level can be accessed from the hallway, which leads to a balcony overlookin­g a large, private pool. A staircase in the hallway provides access to the lower level, which is an ideal entertainm­ent area for guests. At the bottom of the staircase to the left, large glass doors lead to a centrallyl­ocated, open-to-sky courtyard. With its ornamental plants, and fountains concealed in cairns, the courtyard offers a quiet, meditative space. Large living and dining areas lie adjacent to the courtyard. Facing the pool, they make for a versatile space to enjoy a quiet meal, or for conversati­on with friends and family. To the other side of the courtyard, a modular kitchen and utility room are accessible from the

outside. A guest bedroom abuts the utility room and courtyard. The guest bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and an additional powder room adjoins the bathroom. Two staff quarters and a storage room also lie on the lower level. An assortment of trees and plants buffer the outdoors from the afternoon heat. The convenient location of the bungalow, coupled with the spectacula­r views it offers, makes this an ideal getaway for weekend sojourns.

The driveway to the bungalow is laid with laterite, a locally available rust-coloured stone. The entrance opens to the upper level of the bungalow, which has the master bedroom, two guest bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms.”
