Vianaar Homes Goa

 “Architecture is the bone, Décor is the heart, and Art is the soul of a room.” – Terri Lind Davis While we may all have our own unique interpretation of art, it inspires a similar sentiment in each of us. Art represents freedom, insight, and a world of the unknown; no wonder it never fails to arouse our curiosity. At Vianaar , it is the art in our homes that brings the architecture and the décor to life. Ranging from the works of local artist Ronny Frost, to the mysterious world of Sahaya Sharma, the artworks at Vianaar demonstrate appealing aspects of humans and nature. As reality comprises a perfect balance of joyous and somber moments, the paintings in our homes expose various elements of beauty that lie in differing circumstances. Being patrons of upcoming and established artists from all around the world, nothing gives us more pleasure than observing and selecting fitting pieces for our homes. We celebrate and invest in the work of several international and local artists and, o

For those with an inclination for art and a passion for style, Goa is once again a paradise. Goa in its eternal beauty inspires unique artistic tendencies which define colourful new ways of being. As a result of the diversity that comes together to create the authentic Goan culture, everything bears a hint of distinct artistic expression. Here are some stores where the essence of nature and beauty is elegantly expressed through the world of art and fashion.

“Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much” - Hellen Keller It is our compassion that drives us and our actions that define us. We realise that the essence of every community lies in the mutual caring and concern shared by those who come together to build it. For this very reason, the team at Vianaar values the participation of every individual and, works alongside them to help them achieve their full potential. The work ethos at Vianaar is defined by hygiene, awareness and well-being. Being conscious of our community ethics also helps each one of us develop a sustainable perspective towards our environment and resources. After all, it is our interaction with our natural environment today that will define how we live tomorrow. As humans are fundamental to nature, it is essential that their well-being is considered a priority. Hence, we make sure that all our workers are trained in health and safety standards. It is also a priority for us to support the indigenous commun

Besides an exotic cuisine and balmy temperament, the Goan culture is also characterised by fabulous architecture. The Goan heritage demonstrates an extraordinary architectural expression that combines western influences with local materials and craftsmanship. The separate identities of Indian and Portuguese cultures collectively create what is known as Indo-Portuguese architecture. Here’s an inside on the prominent features of this unique tradition that emerged as result of The Portuguese rule in Goa. The lovely high ceilings, open verandas, plush courtyards and balconies naturally lend the buildings an aspect of grandeur; however, they also ensure good ventilation and great light. Though modern architecture and art deco have also slowly become prevalent in Goa, the Indo-Portuguese villas certainly steal the appeal. Their spacious airy rooms and large windows with their antique frames set in beautiful arches enable you to truly interact with all the tropical beauty that surrounds you.

 ‘If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade’ - Tom Peters The past months have allowed us all a reasonable amount of time to be at home, to reflect, introspect and innovate. For us at Vianaar , it was the beauty of the windows in our homes that truly inspired productivity and growth. This revelation led us to start a project called ‘The window project’ on our Instagram handle. With the aim to tell stories about our homes while simultaneously spreading awareness about the advantages of windows, we hope to help realize the essence of life. Natural light determines one’s mood, one’s health and most importantly one’s capacity to grow. Perhaps this explains the fundamental need for windows in our home interiors. Their elegance adds charm and their existence establishes value, besides which, they also add a certain appeal to the façade. The benefit of having a home in paradise calls for a chance to interact with the natural surroundings . With the intention of lightening

‘There’s always room for a story that can transport people to another place’. - J.K Rowling At Vianaar , the terrazzo tiles in each room tell a special story. To inspire our narrative of aesthetics, durability, and low maintenance, our in-house team works on custom designs that are then crafted by local artisans. Over the years, we have created numerous patterns in a diverse set of colours. This productive experimentation is accompanied by the advantage of a minimised carbon footprint and a significant rise in the level of indoor air quality. The revival of terrazzo tiles in modern day architecture can be traced to a number of reasons of which sustainability tops our list. The upcycled and environmentally friendly nature of terrazzo ensures minimum wastage. Hence, we use these tiles extensively for flooring purposes in all our homes. Additionally, their vintage appearance complements our decor and adds charm to every space. Terrazzo tiles are made using by-products from the glass and

Described as the ‘Intellectual Drink’ by Napoleon and termed the ‘King of Perfumes’ by La Roque, coffee doesn’t just inspire great conversation but sparks a certain zest for life. As Anne Morrow Lindbergh puts it, - ‘Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.’ Surely, a place that attracts the interest of so many, must also be able to boast about its coffee. Located in the alluring verdure of Assagao is the delightful G-Shot cafe, run by a community with a shared love for the beverage and an intertwined philosophy. Siddharth, the co-founder, has been experimenting with coffee for over 12 years and his interest has culminated in the establishment of a quaint, quiet space that breeds calm and aims to boost good health. A somewhat secluded garden surrounded by fruit trees, provides as the perfect spot to take a moment and relax. Meditation is encouraged to help emphasize the ideology that revolves around health, community and sustainable li

Blessed with a balmy sea breeze and spectacular lush greenery, the Goan way of life is also scented with the divine aroma of their divergent local cuisine. In character with the Konkan proverb, ‘prod -ham bhookt, magi mookt’, Goans believe that a satisfying meal is a prerequisite to exercising their ability to think. Here, one must also mention that their flair for food sprouts from the availability of a wide variety of local ingredients. A fabulous tropical climate moderated by the Arabian Sea and very fertile alluvial soils make this state home to a diversity of fresh produce. While there is 50,000 hectares of cashew plantations, different types of underground vegetables, spinach, bamboo shoot, raw mango and drumsticks are also grown in abundance. For commercial purposes, spices, fruit, cashew and areca nut plantations dominate much of the farmlands. However, there are also pockets where you will find prosperous mango groves and terraces dotted with coconut, jackfruit and pine

The year 2020 has ushered in a new world order. As a result, we have been compelled to re-evaluate our standards and establish new policies that prepare us for the uncertainty that lies ahead of us. Keeping in mind our ideal of a ‘ home away from home ’, we aim to uphold the greatest standards of hospitality while simultaneously maintaining the pandemic protocol. Read on to find out more about the ‘ Vianaar Hospitality Redefined .’ In an attempt to control the spread of the virus, we now only accept bookings from customers from areas that are defined as ‘less affected’ by the government. For the safety of our guests and staff, we cannot welcome any guests who bear symptoms of Covid 19 into our property. However, we also ensure that a facility for rescheduling is provided in such cases. Awareness of hygiene and personal space are now on the forefront of the agenda. If you do not wish for one of our staff members to service your homes, we offer a self-cleaning kit. Besides this,

Battling a pandemic means changing how we live, the way we think and where we go. The setbacks that have been experienced by society have also simultaneously laid the foundation for a new beginning. With the gradual easing of lockdown restrictions, we are faced with making a number of permanent adjustments in our lives. Maintaining hygiene, looking after our environment and finding ways to manage social distancing protocols have emerged as new priorities that set the stage for extensive reforms, especially with respect to travel and tourism. In the coming days, as a result of personal or professional needs, many of us will need to venture out of the safety of our homes. The use of public transport will be minimized or avoided if possible and sanitized facilities and boutique hotels that cater to minimal contact will be favoured. The new protocol leads our instincts to find seclusion, to sidestep social interaction and surround ourselves with the freshness of the natural environment

An element of responsibility invariably accompanies the advantage of a home in paradise . Keeping this in mind, it is our prerogative to facilitate a harmonious union with nature. This post highlights a few of the measures that we take to support the ideal of green architecture : Use of Fly-ash Bricks A by-product from the thermal industry, i.e., fly-ash is used to make bricks that are both, stronger and lighter. Using these to build our luxury homes in Goa does not only help to recycle industrial by-products but also due to its thermal insulation properties, it helps to maintain the temperature inside the house. Use of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) These are light-weight blocks constituted using a derivative of fly-ash. AAC is an approved eco-friendly building material that comes from non-toxic ingredients and a result, the waste material does not pollute the environment. Terrazzo Flooring By upcycling leftover chips from glass and stone industries, many loc

Architecture is essentially the creative use of contrived space to cater to the fundamentals of functionality and aesthetics. As a result, architectural expertise is usually demonstrated with respect to enclosed spaces. The natural environment that surrounds the body of architecture is what comprises the 'open space'. At Vianaar , we pay keen attention to maintaining a fine balance between open and enclosed spaces. Bearing in mind that open spaces are intrinsic features of modern architecture , we use them skillfully to enhance appeal and add charm to our homes. Besides providing an offset to the structure, abundance of open space also helps preserve the fundamental interaction between man and nature. It inspires activity, propagates positivity and motivates one to stay healthy and fit. The added benefits of open space, i.e. light and ventilation are both imperative in establishing a healthy and positive environment . Based on this philosophy, we aspire to set up homes w

It’s easy to get bogged down by the current circumstances, but how this temporary adjustment affects you, is entirely up to you. Instead of letting the anxiety, worry and helplessness take over, spend each day doing things you’ve never done, helping those around you and, working on being the person you’ve always wanted to be. Stay in, stay safe and stay sane. Here’s a few tips that will pull you through quarantine, while world battles COVID 19 : 1. Develop a routine In times that are uncertain, a sense of purpose is a must.

Not only does exercise build immunity but it also calms the mind and builds an appetite. 3. Eat Healthy Exercise put together with good eating habits, makes for a healthy living. Try new recipes,

If you visit Goa, and view it with the lens of diverse greenery, you will be left speechless. Goa maybe a miniscule on the Western coast of India, but it possesses a wealth of flora and fauna. Cocooned in the shadow of the grand Sahyadri Mountains and the soothing Arabian Sea, the hues of blue constantly flow as 11 rivers and 42 tributaries pass by it. One-third of the Goan landmass is under forest cover. Living in Goa , one gets to experience a tropical climate. The flora and fauna of Goa are the results of these climatic conditions. Despite its diminutive size, Goa has been home to diverse flora and fauna . A surprising array of avian, marine, and mammalian fauna thrives within its borders. It is very likely that you will encounter dolphins offshore or in estuaries. Beyond them, and unique algae, the famous Olive Ridley Turtle proudly call Goa their home. The Galgibaga Beach in Canacona South Goa is the most popular nesting site. A staggering number of only 8 lakh nesting female

Goa is a picture perfect postcard for its golden shoreline with hilly panoramic views, meandering rivers, lush-green forests, rows of paddy fields, and rustic villages. This unmatched appeal has made Goa, India’s tourist jewel. While, the state has been put on the world map for its welcoming nature and natural beauty, it has also led to environmental degradation. With the influx of tourists and the need to accommodate their requirements, nature’s treasures have been weighed down by urbanisation. Biodiversity has suffered, the quality of air has plummeted, and beaches have become waste dumps. This tropical paradise deserves much better and needs our respect and care to be restored to its glory. We list out a simple three step formula that can help achieve sustainability. 1. NO single use plastic There is a nationwide call for the ban on single use plastic. Till it becomes a reality, be responsible yourself. Head for a shopping trip with a cloth or jute bag, and decline plastic o
