Abhay Deol built an unconventional eco-friendly glass house in Assagao, North Goa, in 2011. He told his architects he wanted a house where he could feel like he was standing outside while staying inside, with no windows and no view of the ceiling. The result is a 360-degree scenic home tucked in lush greenery, with high ceilings, black granite floors, dark wood, and colourful furnishings.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the actor said he did not want to see the ceiling or any windows when looking at someone. The house, featured in Asian Paints' 'Where The Heart Is' series, has a living room with exposed walls, blue-painted walls, and printed upholstery. Deol said he keeps work separate from home, calling it unhealthy to let work define his mood.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Abhay Deol's glass house reflects a trend among Indian celebrities choosing eco-friendly second homes in Goa, away from Mumbai's film industry. Assagao has become a hotspot for such properties, with land prices rising sharply over the past decade. The 'no windows' design is a structural challenge that required custom engineering to maintain insulation and privacy while offering open views. Deol's insistence on a house that blurs indoor-outdoor boundaries puts him in a niche of architectural enthusiasts in Bollywood. The next notable celebrity property in Goa to watch is likely to surface during the winter festival season.
