Channelling The White House iconism, this Isprava mansion in Goa called Estate de Frangipani designed by Dhaval Shellugar and Farah Ahmed Mathias of Bengaluru-based FADD Studio is a symphony of nuanced elegance and contextual sophistication

LET THE LIGHT IN

Nestled amidst verdant foliage and tranquil meadows, we are greeted by the majestic presence of sentinel banyan trees, with gnarled roots and outstretched branches serving as a poignant reminder of the ephemerality of time. As we approach the grand entrance of the Estate de Frangipani mansion, the trees appear to extend a subtle invitation, beckoning guests to enter a dreamlike realm where the harmonious convergence of multiplicity and grace, palpably meld with nature. We are referring to probably the largest Isprava mansion—standing tall against the lush backdrop of the Assagao fields in Goa, owned by investment banker Varun Talukdar and his wife Pooja Gupta, former Miss Universe. Spanning a massive one acre plot, the estate boasts a spacious 9,000 sq ft of living space designed by the EDIDA-winning design atelier, FADD Studio of Bengaluru.

Filled with a plethora of breathtaking outdoor amenities, including a sprawling lawn, a serene yoga deck, a lavish swimming pool and a picturesque glasshouse— the home offers serenity from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. And, the interiors are just as grand, with an elaborate living and dining room, a macaron-floor study, and two elegantly appointed guest bedrooms, in addition to the couple’s personal chambers on level two.
