Ritu Nanda Design, Goa

Ritu Nanda

Project in focus: In the sleepy hamlet of Socorro in Goa, Villa Aurelia is a compact courtyard home designed for photographer Ulka Chauhan. Rooted in Goa’s unhurried rhythm, the house revolves around an open court that draws in light and breeze, creating an atmosphere of calm intimacy, while opening up to lush green vistas of paddy fields. Nanda’s skill in crafting villas that balance Goan vernacular warmth with contemporary restraint is distilled into an earthy, expansive and light-filled home here.

Upcoming projects: Several homes in Goa; a large hotel in Amritsar; many apartments in Mumbai.

Materials you’re obsessed with: Lime plaster on walls

Philosophy: “I learn new things every day.”
