Como Agua - Goa

The project was imagined as a bird’s nest perched on top of a hill in a forest. The intention was to explore what it’s like to dine in and around an overgrown enlarged weaver’s nest on a hill surrounded by lush tropical paradise. The idea and design execution was conceived in collaboration with Yogesh Pednekar.

 

Located on Vagator cliff overlooking the sea in North Goa, India, this restaurant and bar was a challenge to build and execute. The entire structure was built sustainably from the construction techniques to its building materials. The project has been primarily built using bamboo and a repurposed wild shrub, Lantana Camara. The latter being an invasive species of plants widespread in the Western Ghats which affects agriculture, forest growth, wildlife and tribal livelihood every year.

 

By repurposing this wild invasive species and using it as a building material the project displays innovative building practices using biological materials while creating emphasis on lantana removal, use and restoration.
