OUTHOUSE GOA

Goa, 2023
Commercial

The new resort boutique of Outhouse Jewellery, nestled in a heritage Portuguese villa, in Goa, expresses the vibrancy of the region through an innovative melange of signature hues. For the construction, Nishil Shah brainstormed the vision of the heritage space along with the Outhouse co-founders Kaabia Grewal and Sasha Grewal.

A holiday spirit comes alive in a palette of salmon pink, natural white and cement grey, that colours architectural elements in the store. The boutique captures a resort reverie in an experiential environment. Seen within its two rooms are unique architectural sculptures that include terracotta figurines and the iconic gemstones and monogram-encrusted ceramic vases, delivering a dialogue of innovation.

When one enters, meandering fluidic carvings on thick white-washed walls pave the way to the marvel inside. Nested between two rooms, the boutique creates a holiday mood with its lush ambience that houses an artisanal range of jewellery and bags. The outcome included elements handcrafted with local materials - the beige bamboo lamp, the humanoid terracotta sculptures, and customised ceramic vases.

The dramatic construction marries Outhouse’s aesthetics with the city’s calm yet brimming attributes.
