Think Matter with Ruturaj Parikh & Maanasi Hattangadi | Episode 08

Author: Goa.me July 15, 2020 Duration: 45:03

In this episode, we sit down with Ruturaj Parikh & Maanasi Hattangadi, Founders of Matter, an architecture, design & publishing studio housed in the village of Sangolda. 

Matter's past projects in Goa range from residential & commercial architecture and design services to their self-initiated content & curatorial works, including both digital & print publications - Thinkmatter.in & [IN]SIDE. Not to mention they are also the chief curators of FRAME, an independent Biennial Conclave and 3 day event centred around the pedagogy and practise of contemporary architecture in India. 

However as mentioned, Matter's work is incredibly visual and truly needs to be seen to be experienced. So we've compiled photos of many of our favourite projects discussed here in our corresponding post: Conversations in Architecture: exploring the work of Goa based Studio Matter

You can learn more about their work at studiomatter.in or by following Matter on Instagram @_matter & @thinkmatter on Facebook.

We should also mention that the beautifully designed Kokum House, built in collaboration with Zowa Architects (Sri Lanka), is also available for holiday rentals via Airbnb, Vista Rooms & Booking.com

The sound of the sea is a constant rhythm here, but the real heartbeat of Goa comes from its people. This monthly podcast from the team behind Goa.me moves beyond the postcard imagery to find the stories woven into the fabric of everyday life. Each episode is a quiet exploration, a conversation held on a veranda or a walk through a market, listening to the fishermen, artists, shopkeepers, and families who call this place home. You’ll hear the subtle shifts in tradition, the personal histories behind a beloved recipe, and the quiet challenges that exist alongside the celebrated beauty. Hosted by the creators of Goa's largest online community, the Goa podcast draws from a deep well of connection and curiosity. It’s less about documenting a destination and more about understanding a living culture through the voices that sustain it. The result is an intimate, unfolding portrait-a collection of authentic encounters that together reveal the complex and captivating soul of a region often simplified. Tune in for these regular, thoughtful dispatches from the ground, where every conversation adds another layer to the story.
