House of Mori Silvassa
There was no shortage of places to go out in Silvassa. Just very few you felt like going back to. House of Mori grew out of that need, for a space that felt easy to return to, at any time of day.
What stood out was not the lack of places, but the way they were experienced once you were in them. There were enough options across resorts and dining spaces, yet very few that allowed you to settle without occasion. Most spaces carried an expectation of time, of purpose, of movement. Very few allowed you to arrive without any of that, to stay as long as you wished, and to return without reason. The absence was subtle, but it stayed. House of Mori emerges from that understanding.
Set in Silvassa, the space draws from its verdant surroundings without attempting to mirror them. Greenery moves through the indoors and outdoors with a certain ease, softening edges and holding a sense of continuity. The space feels inhabited rather than assembled, shaped through natural materials, an earthy palette, and an attention to how things age and settle over time.
The name Mori, meaning forest, reflects this relationship with nature, while also holding the weight of ancestral roots in the Mori Rajput lineage of Chittorgarh. Both remain present, carried lightly, without insistence.
RamabaMohansinh Parmar remains central to how House of Mori has taken form. She managed over 300 acres of land, founded Surendra Tiles, the first manufacturing unit in Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and raised five children on her own. Café Hà ÂM draws from that history in a direct and unembellished way. Handmade tiles, wood, brick, and bamboo sit across the space with a sense of familiarity, reflecting the kind of work she built her life around. The choices are practical, but they hold her presence in place.
At its core, space is shaped by how time is spent. Mornings begin without urgency, afternoons stretch without notice, and evenings settle into their own rhythm. Nothing is imposed. Each visit finds its own pace.
Within this, Café Hà ÂM forms a more intimate layer. Rooted in legacy, it carries a softer presence, one that feels personal and familiar, held together through handcrafted elements and a closeness in scale.
House of Mori does not rely on excess. Its strength lies in what it chooses to hold back, where each element sits with intention, and where the experience is shaped as much by what remains unsaid as by what is present.
