Art Connoisseur Rajshree Pathy's Residence.

No comments  
When I first saw Rajshree Pathy's home featured in 2004 issue of Design Today, I was completely spellbound. Various art forms coming together to form this great space.

The first & second pics. are Madhubani wall painting by award-winning artist Shivan Paswan. I love the balance provided by the white cushion against the colourful backdrop.

The third pic. is that of dining room with a huge head by Ravinder Reddy, which gives it a dramatic look.

The fourth pic. is the entrance to her house with floating stones and wall painting by artists from Kerala.

The fifth pic. shows her various art collection of 18 years.

Rajshree conceived the design of the house herself and worked with a local engineer. She likes to call her house a museum, a resort & an artist's retreat all in one.

Beautiful. Hope you agree?

Elsewhere- The Beach House.

No comments  
Elsewhere is a beach house in Mandrem, Goa. A 108- years old Goan villa inherited and restored by Denzil Sequiera, a fashion photographer.

The house has traditional red-oxide floors with contrasting cool white exteriors. The overall effect is vibrant. Care has been taken to maintain the original character of the home. Denzil calls it 'Contemporary Rustic'.

The best part is that you can soak up the sun and listen to the waves from this 108-years old villa.

Elsewhere is available for rent for your dream holidays.
