In Goa, architecture has to answer the weather before it answers a brief.
The coast does not reward houses that ignore it. Salt, rain and a long bright season ask for deep shade, cross-ventilation and landscapes drawn from what already grows here.
At Callista and in the communities taking shape around Guirim, the plan starts with the contour and the breeze. Courtyards are not decoration. They are how a house breathes when the afternoon is heavy.
A coastal home should feel open without being exposed, and private without turning its back on the village around it.
