Umm...couple of tickets to Brazil please..

Mr. Wilbert Das, when not being the über creative director at Diesel, is into setting up beautiful villas in Brazil. So glad he picked up this 'hobby', else we wouldn't have had Uxua Casa Home.

 "Above a remote stretch of Brazil’s Bahian coastline sits an enchanting fishing village called Trancoso. On the town’s historic green (the Quadrado) is a secret garden holding a luxurious hideaway; nine 1-3 bedroom houses built and decorated in collaboration with local artisans using traditional building methods, recycled materials, and exquisite attention to detail."

Well, Thank you Mr. Das. Good job!

Now for those tickets and reservations..

But wait. Let me first practice pronouncing Uxua...it can't sound the way its sounds coming out of my mouth..can it?

You try. While you take a look at this amazing place..

Sun Sand and Some Design...

Goa!

The land of sun sand and sea

Also the land of

Some breathtaking Portuguese architecture

and quirky, fun coastal design!

Known as the best kept secret of Goa, 'Elsewhere', dating back to 1886 has been lovingly and carefully transformed to a sumptuous but simple beach house. 'Elsewhere' is a house full of character, meant for those who appreciate the things that time does not change.

The white washed exteriors with eye catching rust walls. Red oxide floors

Your personal porch with a view

The decor is inexpensive; design inspiration drawn from nature and utility items

Small kitchenette with painted wooden shutters

In-built sitting on the porch...a feature common in traditional homes. The idea being that weary travelers or visitors to the home can wait and rest in the shade

Blue and white are a must in coastal decor

Who needs expensive bathroom accessories? A rope, some sticks, some nails could also do well!

;-) it takes a good photographer to make a jhadoo (broom) look so good as decor!

Oi! It's that little birdie again! In Goa this time! Anyone who knows what is this bird called?

Go Goa...

Go Elsewhere!
