is designed by Balinese architect Ir. Ida Bagus Wiadnyana according
to ancient traditions with the correct alignments toward the Holy Mountain………
Traditional materials are used throughout to harmonize with the environment – alang
alang thatched roofing, hand-made terracotta floor-tiles, stone and marble,
all crafted by local artists. The house is cooled by fans and natural
cross breezes over water gardens.
Entry is via the traditional Balinese gate-way protected by stone guardians
and along a garden path through tranquil lotus and water-lily filled
fish ponds. Antique Javanese doors open onto the main living area with
its soaring alang alang roof and spectacular views from the open terrace.
