The garden villa development is set within the rice fields of south-eastern Bali. The masterplan continues the existing grid of earthen walls and pathways to organise the settlement in arrangements of nine times nine villas in a green and car free environment. The villa typology takes inspiration from the traditional Balinese compound house, typically composed of multiple semi-enclosed pavilions arranged within a walled garden, complete with its own system of paths, lawns and courtyards.
The corner window of the entrance hall provides a perspective view to the collective courtyard and offers a moment of silence on the route between city and home.
In its contemporary form as a 'walled garden villa', the functional spaces are arranged within a pavilion of semi-open rooms. A rich composition of sheltered interiors and private outdoor spaces invites the dweller to meander between spaces and enjoy the privacy of the varying walled pocket gardens.
While the interior spaces are kept deliberately modes, the architecture plays with contrasting scales and materials in order to achieve an experience of spaciousness. Monumental crushed stone columns carry a timber grid of locally produced CLT, which in turn carries the cantilevered roof, providing generous shade from both the intense sun and seasonal rains.
