Luxury Villa in Goa — Curated Craft Collection

When Mumbai-based architecture firm Studio Lotus approached us for a beachfront villa in South Goa, the brief was clear: “We want every room to tell a story of Indian craft, without it feeling like a museum.”

The Project

The 4,500 sq ft villa features five bedrooms, a double-height living room, an infinity pool terrace, and a private courtyard — all designed to blend indoor-outdoor living with the Goan landscape. Our role was to curate art and craft pieces that would complement the architecture while adding warmth and cultural depth.

What We Sourced

Living Room: A 6-foot Pichwai painting from Nathdwara became the centrepiece — depicting Shrinathji surrounded by lotus blooms, its deep blues and golds echoing the ocean visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Dining Area: An eight-arm Moradabad brass chandelier hangs above a twelve-seater table. The chandelier was custom-sized to the room's proportions, with a warm antique finish specified by the designer.

Bedrooms: Each bedroom features a different craft tradition — Madhubani art in the master suite, Blue Pottery lamps in the guest rooms, and a carved teak headboard panel from Kerala in the pool-facing suite.

Courtyard: Dhokra figurines from Bastar are placed among the tropical plantings, their rough brass surfaces catching the afternoon light.

The Result

The villa is now a showcase for Indian craft in a contemporary luxury setting. Every piece was sourced, customised, and delivered by ArtisanArch within 8 weeks — on time and within budget. The homeowner describes it as “living inside a curated gallery that happens to have a pool.”
