The summer villa for a Hong Kong based couple was made by Mencke & Vagnby, in co-operation with architect Peter Sand. As you can see from the photos below, the ground floor has an open plan and it is in close contact with the garden and pools, while keeping a scenic view over the rice paddies to the west. The “v” shape of the villa is a result of the shape of the site, surrounded by rice paddies, rain forest and a local holy path. The narrow north western part of the site is turned into a long swimming pool extending the shape of the northern wing and ending up in a sun deck surrounded by palm trees and with a stunning look down on green rice paddies surrounded by the rainforest.
Take a nap…and admire the nature outside!
The closet has a sophisticated, traditional design.
The pool must be the most tempting experience from the house!
The living room: white sofas and few decorative objects. Less is more!
View from the upside level with the fancy chandelier.
The table: a raw combination between stone and glass.
The chandelier, the most attractive piece from the dining room.
The bathrooms are inspired by caves and also kept in a local stone with a large sky window over the shower and bathtub.
All done to obtain the openness so typical for Balinese homes!
A surrounding wall of Balinese stone continues inside and becomes the main structure, to further blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.
