Mr. Naik Villa, Socorro
Located in Socorro, near the Socorro Church. Villa is designed as a four-bedroom home, the architecture reflects the traditional Indo-Portuguese style, featuring a ground-plus-one configuration with a terrace and garden.
The ground floor includes a single bedroom, a kitchen, and a combined living-dining area. This opens to a covered verandah, providing a sheltered space for savouring the outdoors throughout the year. The upper level comprises three additional bedrooms and a spacious balcony overlooking the garden.
The houses have sloped roofs, Juliet balconies, and wooden-framed windows—all characteristic of local architecture. The structural design, with strategically placed windows, skylights, and doors, enhances natural light and ventilation while the covered verandahs further merge indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing for an alfresco experience from within one’s home.
