Spatial study · 01

The Vayu Sanctuary is a masterwork of tropical architectural brutalism designed to blur the boundary between raw volcanic basalt, cast board-formed concrete, and lush Goan coastal flora.

Conceived around a central cascading courtyard and a 32-metre basalt infinity pool that spills into the Nerul estuary, the residence celebrates natural air movement and filtered equatoria…

Material honesty is fundamental: hand-chiseled Goan laterite stone walls meet raw board-formed cementitious planes and salvaged Burma teak joists.

Material honesty is fundamental: hand-chiseled Goan laterite stone walls meet raw board-formed cementitious planes and salvaged Burma teak joists. Thermal mass strategies and prevailing south-westerly river winds eliminate the need for mechanical cooling across primary living spaces during monsoon and winter months.
