A ROOM FOR REST

If I want to be alone, some place I can write, I can read, I can pray, I can cry, I can do whatever I want – I go to the bathroom – Alicia Keys It’s no longer uncommon to hear people say that it’s a bathroom that makes or breaks a place. At Vianaar , our bathrooms are set up with a keen eye for detail. In fact, we’ve frequently been complimented on our efforts. This is one room where you can be truly alone so it’s essential that you always feel at ease and have ways to enjoy your own company. An abundance of space accompanied by a sense of calm defines each of our bathrooms. As we are driven by the philosophy of maximum comfort and minimum effort, we maintain a clear distinction between the wet and dry areas. Gracious use of white and natural colour palettes complement the filtered light that pours in through the frosted windows. Besides the beautiful white walls in most of our bathrooms, we also occasionally use IPS, which provides a modern yet versatile appeal. Furthermore, the Portu

As you wander through the gates of La Sierra , you’re greeted with white flowers that hang shyly off the pergolas. Lush pathways, adorned with tropical creepers guide you to your home. Once inside, you are instantly seized by the tranquillity that resides. Located in Vagator, this delightful estate comprises fourteen modern contemporary villas. Each complete with 3 en-suite bedrooms, an abundance of living spaces and absolute privacy. The configuration of all the villa’s emphasises the characteristics of light, ventilation and a seamless interaction with the natural environment. As the Vianaar way of life represents sustainable living , these aspects together define who we are and enable us to create the signature Vianaar experience for you. The design features include floor to ceiling glass windows that slide open and extend your living space into a garden with a private pool. Our custom-designed handmade terrazzo tiles embellish the floors and a classic spiral staircase brings you

A SPACE THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

“Every room has a mood or personality… and it is this that one desires to develop.” – Eleanor Brown Great design is not just an appeal to the visual sense, rather an experience that enables us to interact and engage with our surroundings. We plan our interiors keeping in mind the spirit of the space, the essence of the environment and its influence on how you feel as you enter your home away from home . Eleanor Brown also speaks of how if one has to develop the true personality of a space, it is essential to respect the past, accept the present and look with enthusiasm to the future. As our homes employ Modern-Contemporary or Indo-Portuguese techniques in their architecture , we make sure that our interiors represent the exterior aesthetics, while simultaneously complementing the natural environment. An important aspect of our design sensibilities is that of comfort; while being aesthetically pleasing and interactive are essential, these ideals are held up by the elements of functiona

A light hearted tea time catch-up with Shankar led us to enquire about his experiences and his perceptions of the world. With an inherent concern for our environment, he contributes greatly to Vianaar’s philosophy of sustainable living . He identifies with our core values and strives every day to make sure he has done justice to his job. Shankar tends to and nurtures the plants and trees at multiple Vianaar project sites . Through what he does, he brings our beliefs to life. Previously, he worked with the Taj and shares how the times have changed. However, what has remained constant throughout his journey is his interest in plants and how, as he watches them thrive; his personality too comes alive. He believes that he could happily spend his entire life working this way. When asked about the year he’s spent with Vianaar , he describes it to be a great work environment where collaborating and working together towards a common goal is everyone’s top priority. Nobody hesitates to ask ques
