Local studio Field Atelier has completed a breezy home near Goa, India<\/a>, which is wrapped by verandas sheltered by sliding timber screens<\/a> and folding metal doors.<\/p>\n

Named House in Corjeum after the village in which it is located, the home<\/a> is organised around a central courtyard with an existing cluster of trees and a stone well.<\/p>\n

It is elevated on a concrete plinth to mitigate the risk of flooding during the monsoon season, while verandas, sheltered by woven timber screens and metal-framed mosquito nets, encircle the house to provide natural light and air.<\/p>\n

\"EntranceField Atelier has completed a breezy home in India<\/p>\n

“The house is envisaged as a collection of verandas, each expandable in its nature to absorb functions,” Field Atelier<\/a>‘s project architect Teja Amonkar told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“The constant awareness of the exterior landscape seen through various apertures is what provides one with moments of intrigue as one traverses through the different spaces,” added fellow project architect Yatin Fulari.<\/p>\n

“The house is therefore imagined as a pavilion or a stage to view the gardens and its seasonal unfolding,” Fulari added.<\/p>\n

\"CourtyardIt is arranged around a courtyard<\/p>\n

Accessed via the western wing of the home’s U-shaped plan, the entrance route is formed by a long veranda overlooking the courtyard, which passes the main bedroom to spill out into the central living and dining space.<\/p>\n

This large living area opens onto the courtyard via folding metal doors and onto an additional south-facing veranda through sliding glass and metal doors. Here, an outdoor dining space is situated beneath an overhanging section of the roof.<\/p>\n

\"CorridorTimber screens and\u00a0metal doors enclose the home<\/p>\n

A kitchen, utility room and bathroom are tucked away on either side of this open central space, alongside a staircase leading up to a smaller first floor where there is an additional bedroom, bathroom and lounge.<\/p>\n

In the home’s eastern wing, a slightly sunken study enjoys a more private relationship to the garden through folding wooden shutters. A large door looks north towards a small, standalone guest annexe.<\/p>\n

“The living and dining area, along with the deep veranda in the south, form a seamless space connecting the entire site,” Amonkar explained.<\/p>\n

“The perpetual accessibility to the ground allows the house to behave as a thoroughfare rather than a culmination,” he added. “The utilitarian spaces are planned along the passage, allowing life to take place in the ‘in between spaces’.”<\/p>\n

\"LivingThe large living area opens onto the courtyard<\/p>\n

High ceilings accommodate a strip of wooden louvres beneath the home’s overhanging metal roof, helping to naturally ventilate the home and cast natural light across the dark timber ceilings.<\/p>\n

A finish of rough lime plaster is used both inside and out, covering a steel-framed structure infilled with hollow clay blocks.<\/p>\n

Field Atelier is based in Panaji, Goa, and was founded by Fulari and Amonkar in 2015.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Goa, Indian practice Grounded recently updated a 160-year-old Portuguese-style home<\/a> and Architecture Discipline created India’s first mass-timber home<\/a>.<\/p>\n
