While perusing Architectural Digest online, I came across an image gallery of some of the magazine's most exotic featured homes. This image of a haveli in India totally caught me. I love the rustic, whimsical facade- it reminds me of the feeling you get when reading a great book and you feel totally transported into the pages. What makes it for me (and this is funny because I have my degree in Landscape Architecture), is the lack of landscape. I love the little trees flanking the doorway and the bright red gate- the haveli would emote a much different feeling if it was covered in foliage, a style we're so familiar with in Hawaii. I imagine a clawfoot bathtub, sipping orange spice tea and laying on a double chaise on the roof watching the sunset. There's just something so amazing about this image and though I've never really had an interest in venturing to India, this makes me want to jump on the next flight out.
