A jovial traveller and a fervid artist—Goa’s very own Siddharth Kerkar manages a GoPro zoom feed and is bound to give you travel goals. Often on his feed we see his quaint expression in art and his love for working across a wide range of materials, mildly inherited from his father. The artist’s home is an artwork of serenity in progress, worked on by him and his two pet dogs.

With more than a hundred rare aroids in his collection, the unbeatable aspect of his space is the fact that entering the house feels exactly the opposite. The interiors carry the essence of his hometown—calm, easy-going and with abundant houseplants. The most precious thing to him is his couch that overlooks the fields. The home is built keeping in mind the humid Goa weather and has windows which one can just open to let the gushes of wind come in. Bearing resemblance to Siddharth’s personality are the floor plans; open, breezy and light. The man and his house borrow Goa’s spirit, he is the whole museum of Goa in himself.
