Inaya Living - Cotton House

Cotton House is a thoughtfully curated, sensitively designed, sunlit 4-bedroom villa that showcases a beautiful blend of contemporary design influences from India and beyond, with an eclectic energy that speaks to the global traveller. This is a smart home that celebrates the effervescence of tropical living with a lush landscape and a profusion of airy indoor-outdoor spaces enveloped in gardens that bloom through the year and perfumed creepers that fill the night air. A private pool, generous terrace and garden-courtyard complete the scene.

The delicate, exposed beams of Cotton House belie its strength and bring to mind the stilt-houses of Southeast Asia while incorporating elemental accents in the form of laterite and wooden latticework. Narratives of craft and history fill the home, with artefacts, artworks and accents handpicked from the souks of West Asia, bazaars of the Far East and local Goan markets.

The beauty of craftsmanship surrounds you, with gorgeous textiles like ikat and mashru used in an elevated, contemporary way, as well as special, unforgettable pieces. Like the Manchaha rugs that are bespoke, almost biographical pieces telling the stories of the artisans of Jaipur Rugs who created each one.
