In Goa's sun-drenched, tropical landscape, where semi-open shaded spaces are vital for comfort, renowned architect Vinu Daniel’s latest installation Terra-grove beautifully reimagines how public spaces can be inviting, responsive, and sustainable. The structure consists of elegantly curving vaults that spiral around existing trees, creating a natural canopy of shade. Crafted from terracotta Guna tiles, it cools the area while blending seamlessly into the beach’s surroundings, evoking a sense of harmony with nature.
More than just a shelter, the pavilion serves as a welcoming gathering point- whether as a shaded resting spot or an architectural landmark, it invites locals and visitors alike to pause, connect, and enjoy the serene beauty of Miramar Beach. By embracing both the environment and community, it transforms public architecture into an inclusive, nurturing space that fosters connection and reflection.
