Rooted in stillness

A Goan villa by Seema Pandey and Kapil Razdan of Arquite that listens to the land and blends slow living with soulful, sustainable design

This project challenges the notion of a villa as a solitary, overbearing structure. Instead, it proposes architecture as a dynamic entity that attends to the land, adapts to its seasons and cultivates an uninterrupted bond between people and the environment.

Tucked away in the leafy by lanes of Sangolda in Goa, Selene isn't a place that demands your attention. It makes you crave a return. With each step beneath its roof and through sunlit courtyards, the vibe of this place wraps around you until you become a part of it. Designed by Seema Pandey and Kapil Razdan of Arquite, this place is a thoughtful balance of earthy elegance and conscious design, where the indoors gently spill into the outdoors and every corner invites stillness.

In this 16,000 sqft villa no single space overpowers. It unveils itself in soft layers.
