Set within the village of Assagaon, Anasa by the Hills reinterprets Goa’s coastal architectural traditions through three distinct villas, each conceived as an individual response to its immediate context. Rather than treating the project as a homogeneous development, each home is planned as a standalone narrative—shaped by a specific site anchor and lived condition.
The Tree House is organised around a mature tree canopy, preserving and celebrating it as the heart of the home. Spaces are carefully wrapped around this living presence, allowing the architecture to yield to shade, breeze, and growth. The Well House aligns itself to a historic well, using it as a contemplative centre that grounds daily life in memory and continuity. The Forest House stretches outward toward dense woodland, with terraces and decks opening to long, layered views, drawing the forest into the rhythms of inhabitation.
While unified under the Casa Belo ethos, each villa has a distinct plan and spatial organisation, calibrated to its site conditions, orientation, and anchor. Floor plans are not repeated or mirrored; instead, they evolve uniquely, reflecting a level of sensitivity rarely found in villa developments. This approach allows each home to feel personal, rooted, and quietly bespoke.
Materially, the villas share a restrained coastal palette—sloping tiled roofs, shaded verandahs, laterite, timber, and lime—interpreted with contemporary clarity and precision. Interiors are defined by seamless surfaces, soft hues, and subtle colour palettes that recede in favour of light and landscape. Timber and rattan furniture introduce warmth and tactility, reinforcing a sense of ease and longevity. Four-bedroom layouts are complemented by private pools and verandahs that extend living outdoors, blurring boundaries between house, garden, and village.
Anasa by the Hills embodies LAB’s commitment to narrative-led design, where architecture listens closely to place. Here, tree, well, and forest are not backdrops but protagonists—each shaping a distinct way of living within a shared coastal language.
