BLISS BY THE BEACH

Breaking away from its maximalist identity, Beyond Designs fashions a relatively pared down Goa abode inspired by Mediterranean hues and style

- NEHA AND SACHIN GUPTA

We are proud maximalists and rarely think in terms of spare and minimal. But for this 8,000 sq ft beach house in Goa, we chose to let the expansive feeling of the sea take over, without veering excessively from our signature style. We’ve worked with the owners Richa and Anuj Malhan from Delhi before, so we were on the same page vis à vis the design scheme for this abode. The serene Coco beach, which the bungalow faces, was our inspiration for the residence’s pared down tone that ideally matches its geographical context. It led to clean and tranquil spaces, reminiscent of the Mediterranean style with whites and blues, dotted with subtle classic details, textural interests and vibrant artworks.
