House of Joy

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Outdoor Deck & Garden

The magnificent scenery around you unfolds as far as the eye can see in this lush, beautiful garden, with a sprinkling of vibrant flowers around you.

Relax in the wooden lawn chairs as you enjoy a scrumptious meal or warm yourself up next to a nighttime bonfire.

Family Room

Gather in the cosy mezzanine family room, overlooking the dining room below, to watch TV together or just hang out on the divan running across the Kerala-style balcony railings. Across from you, on the stone-panelled wall, hang two tapestries made by the Toda community, native to the Nilgiris.

Living Room

Curl up in the cosy wing chairs and take in the full expanse of the villa’s scenery from its indoor comfort, through the wall-to-wall accordion French doors that completely open out on two sides of the room. Or sit around the plush sectional sofa to laugh with a cup of coffee or play one of the classic board games in the villa.

Dining Room

The centrepiece of the house is its contemporary wooden dining table from Prakriti Auroville, where you can sit to eat and chat, admiring the stone-panelled walls on either side that climb all the way to the roof. Elegant accordion French doors lead to the outdoor deck and lawn.

Master Bedroom

The grand master bedroom welcomes you to a relaxing stay, where you can lounge in the window seat with the sun on your face or get some work done at the study desk in the corner. A louvred wardrobe in the corner complements the room’s grooved furniture. The French door in the corner opens directly to the garden outside.

On clear early mornings, simply roll up the blinds to watch the green hills light up with the sunrise.

Ground Floor Bedrooms

Two elegant rooms invite you to stretch out on their soft beds for a snooze. When it’s sunny outside, roll up the blinds and settle into the sofa underneath the windows with a coffee and the book you’ve been longing to read. Or get some work done at the study desk in either room.

Mezzanine Bedroom

Stretch out on the mattress under the sloped wooden ceiling in the privacy of this upstairs room, light streaming in during the day from its gable window. At night, the lights embedded in the ceiling brighten up the room without harshly striking your eyes.
