Więcej o książce

With over 500 stunning photographs and extensive commentary, this book explores Bali's most breathtaking homes and gardens. Renowned for its creative inspiration, Bali offers innovative design ideas that influence homes and hotels worldwide. Unique concepts such as open-air bathrooms with interior gardens, giant bamboo sofas with handwoven cushions, and garden pavilions originated on the island. The book highlights the latest and finest design work in Bali, featuring 25 contemporary homes that showcase the vision of a new generation of talented international and Indonesian designers. Each house addresses age-old challenges, demonstrating how stylish modern lifestyles can be achieved through smart architecture and interior design. Readers will discover artful furniture in airy spaces, natural stone in serene courtyards and pools, and a variety of handcrafted surfaces and artifacts. Many of these residences focus on reducing power consumption for a sustainable future, while others reinterpret the tropical Bali interior design style rooted in traditional rural settings. All designs harmoniously blend modern technology with local materials—like Balinese sandstone and recycled wood—promoting breezy indoor-outdoor living. Captured by Danish photographer Jacob Termansen and accompanied by insightful text from British author Kim Inglis, this book celebrates the originality and talent of Bali's design scene.
