Blessed with an ancient society of beautiful, lighthearted people, Bali has a cultural style like no other in the world. Bali style is a mosaic, a varied heritage of many cultures.

For more than ten centuries, the Balinese have welcomed intrepid voyagers and carefree globetrotters to their shores who brought with them their own ideas and beliefs. An elegant people who wear an innate nobility and possess an artistic temperament, the Balinese have tenaciously observed their beliefs while incorporating new ideas from the outside world. Throughout their history they have creatively adapted and adjusted these outside influences to fit their needs and nourish their spirit. Theirs is a culture intrinsically endowed with an essence that has created an authentic Bali style.

On Bali, a saturation of the style permeates sights, sounds, and feelings as surely as the exotic array of birds and butterflies, fruits and flowers. An effervescent spirit of creativity is felt in everything, everywhere. Balinese style is ever present, a moment to moment experience. The style is vividly expressed in Bali villa architecture, in the visual and performing arts, and through observance of religious ideals.

Throughout the island is a plethora of fascinating Bali villa structures that are each designed to show elements of traditional Balinese architecture. Organic materials such as bamboo and alang-alang grass are used for roof structures. Practical, functional thatched roof designs in Bali have handsome exterior proportions with appealing organic textures.

Bali’s distinctive style is a multiplicity of concepts intricately woven for dramatic effect; a layering of vivid colors, textures and rhythmic patterns boldly revealed in elegant forms. Forms speak a visual language of the people that astonish the intellect and bewilder the imagination. Startling imagery and highly sophisticated design motifs are unexpectedly interlaced with pure whimsy. Incredibly beautiful art forms contrast with a sense of humor to create a smile and provide a reminder that life is not so serious.

The lifescape of Bali is filled with an artistic palette of color as well as spectacle of visual interest. Stone or wood statues are adorned with fresh flowers, dressed with a sarong and gaily hold painted umbrellas. Peasants stylishly wear colorful patterned batik fabrics as they go about their daily work. Temple ceremonies are staged so often that somewhere on Bali there is always one happening. The drama of Balinese life is more clearly represented in these frequent ceremonies. Ceremonies that are pageants to the gods but provide occasion for performances by flamboyantly costumed dancers and the presentation of artfully constructed offerings.

As we begin to pay more than lip service to sustainability in daily life, so too do architects and interior designers in their work. Many are beginning to explore avenues that impact the environment in a positive way. Bali villa constructors are using eco friendly materials more and more. It reflects the bio-diversity of a locale when constructing Bali villas or any type of building on the island. A perfect example of this is an all natural restaurant in Nusa Dua that was built right next to the famous spa and Bali villa Kayumanis complex in 2004.

The architect chosen to design and construct this project was a local Indonesian by the name of  Budi Pradono. The restaurant is based on the idea of a taring or tetaring. This is a Traditional Balinese structure that is built as a temporary ceremonial pavilion. It consists of three parts with two light pavilions made out of bamboo and glass and one heavy structure that is built from clay.

The entrance lobby is situated in the solid rammed earth structure. A long, thin, impermeable building, it separates the open to the public restaurant from the privacy of the Bali villa complex. Attached are two semi transparent pavilions that house the reception, dining, and drinking spaces. The bearing structure is in steel clad in bamboo as an external skin, as an internal skin for the ceiling, and as a shading device on sliding vertical panels on the sides. The result is a simple but refined building that is at once contemporary and tropical.

“In this project I wanted to bring bamboo into modern architecture by combining it with other elements such as acrylic, polycarbonate, glass, and steel,” explains Pradono. “And to make the bamboo look more modern, I used bamboo pins as joints instead of rope.” He goes on to add that bamboo offers an ecological viable alternative to timber for construction, as it is extremely fast growing, and unlike with other trees, bamboo plants are not killed by harvesting thereby avoiding erosion problems. Also, by utilizing clay as do some of the Balinese in their homes, Pradono was able to achieve a conceptual whole that juxtaposed light with heavy, fragmented with solid.

“The massive material I selected is clay, while the fragmented one is bamboo,” he explains. The rustic, uneven textures of both are combined with various irregularities in the space planning, so that an architectural rhythm is achieved. In addition, natural light filters through seemingly floating ceilings and walls and breezes are ever-present as the whole complex is built around a reflecting pool.

Plumeria trees are ubiquitous in tropical places such as Bali, Indonesia. It is planted all over the island because of its aromatic scent, beautiful colors, and most importantly for its religious and cultural significance. The flowers are used extensively for decoration and for ceremonies throughout Bali.

An entrepreneur from Indonesia by the name of Jeolianto Noegroho designed his Bali villa with a Plumeria theme because of his fascination with this beautiful tree. There are Plumeria trees planted all over this home and was structurally built to resemble the branches of the trees. He hired an architect from Java named Andra Matin to help him draw the layout for his villa in Bali. Together they designed a Bali villa that is tropical and modern. They also wanted to add a taste of traditional Balinese architecture so they built the Bali villa to be enclosed on the top floors and open on the lower floors and they also constructed the home to have four surrounding walls.

This Bali villa is located in the trendy town of Seminyak. It was architecturally designed to have two separate complexes. The main structure is two storey’s high. The top floor of the first building consists of two bedrooms that both come with its own private bathroom. The bottom floor is open and offers an indoor-outdoor living, dining, and kitchen area where it always remains cool as the breeze flows freely in and out of these areas. The second building is only one level and houses the main master bedroom and a large beautiful garden.  It opens freely into the pool area with relaxation lounging chairs and an open bar. The swimming pool is composed from sukabumi stone and sits in an ulin wood rectangular carpet.

This Bali villa in Seminyak is a great rental property if you like to be in the city and close to fashionable shops and restaurants. It’s also only a walking distance away from the beach.

A famous artist by the name of Pascale Doumeng visited Bali a few years back and became fascinated by the beauty of the place. He enjoyed his holiday on the island so much that he decided to buy a piece of land and design his own Bali villa in the year 2000. He named his home Chalina Villa, which is a combination of the name of his children.

His villa in Bali is situated on a 6,349 square yards plot in the fishing village of Pereranang Canggu. He chose this area because it has a nice country feel and exotic landscapes. His Bali villa is literally surrounded by a river, rice paddies, and the ocean.

He had a lot of fun planning the layout of his Bali villa with a designer friend by the name of Yudi Atmajaha. Their plot was to architecturally construct a traditional Balinese home and use modern colorful art pieces and furnishings for the interior decorations. He used a lot of his own personal paintings as wall pieces in his home. It’s definitely a Bali villa with a classic combination of old and new working together. He wanted typical Balinese structures such as open freestanding pavilions, courtyards, and a temple surrounded by tropical gardens, meandering pathways, and lotus ponds.

It’s a complex that has a main two-storey structure that houses a master bedroom, junior bedroom, and thatched roofed pavilions for dining, living, and relaxing. It has one large rectangle pool with poolside sun loungers, which act as the main focal point for the whole complex.

The materials used to build this villa in Bali is teakwood, bengkerai wood, alang-alang grass, local stones, palimanan, polished cement, and terrazzo. They stuck with the most natural Indonesian materials used in building traditional Balinese homes.

There are other features to this Bali villa that stands out, which are the statues of Hindu god’s carved from stone, artistic Buddha head fountains, and driftwood carved into art pieces. These structures are placed all throughout the gardens and outdoors of the villa. This home was surely built from an Artist’s eye.

Bali is an island of profound beauty, small but unique in variety. Dramatic high mountains and rugged seascapes are backdrops to artfully terraced rice fields, jewel toned crater lakes and river ravines in the manner of a Henri Rousseau painting. Tigers no longer roam the forests where monkeys, tropical birds and butterflies continue to live in abundance. A profusion of flowers and luxurious tropical foliage are no surprise in this paradise where warm temperatures are near constant year round, soils are enriched by volcanic ash and tropical rains create a greenhouse environment.

Alfred Russell Wallace traveled the Indonesian archipelago in 1869 and discovered the flora and fauna typical of Asia ends in Bali. East of Bali and only 35 kilometers away lies the island of Lombok. The deep water Lombok Strait narrowly divides the two islands and marks a beginning of more primitive biological forms as found in Australia. Lombok is Arid and thorny while Bali is blessed with an endless variety of plant life some quite exotic in nature and all bountiful in production.

On Bali one is always aware of the plentiful extravagance of fruits and flowers: their presence is constantly and absolutely felt. The warm, gentle sea breezes of the night are perfumed with frangipani and jasmine while daytime activities embrace their availability. Flowers entwined in the hair or placed behind the ear of men and women are a natural accessory. Costumes of performers almost always include fresh blossoms, and petals are showered upon audiences as a welcome in the traditional pendet dance. Statues everywhere are arrayed with hibiscus blossoms jauntily stuck here and there. Each morning small woven canang offerings containing fresh flowers, rice and sweet-smelling grass are place on and in vehicles, on doorsteps of shops or in a curve of the path or road. Priest, women, men, and children hold blossoms in the fingertips during prayerful worship. If it is thought the hands have touched something impure, a flower blossom is rubbed between the fingers. Flowers represent purity, an offering from the gods that gives the gift of fragrance and beauty to the splendid garden of Bali.

Practically combined with beauty is the Balinese way in all aspects of life including their gardening. Gardens within the walls of traditional Balinese compounds or Bali villas are generally not particularly designed or laid out but are rather randomly planted. Any available open space is used for growing useful or edible plants, fruits and flowers. A typical compound is planted with staples such as coconut, banana, citrus, rambutan, coffee, mango, pineapple, and papaya. Flowering trees and shrubs are valued for beautifying the compound as well as providing blossoms for use in the constant making of offerings. Compounds in the higher elevations or north Bali may have apple trees or the delicious salak which has a crunchy sweet texture like a crisp apple but with a nutty flavor the outer skin of the salak could easily be mistaken for brown snakeskin.

A familiar late afternoon sight is that of grandfather returning home from gathering grasses, sarong tucked up in pantaloon-fashion, carrying a large bamboo basket of greens for his beautiful cow. Young boys and old men alike cut wild grasses to provide feed for the cows, goats, and pigs kept in pens within the family compound or on tethers. There are no meadows for grazing as land has a premium value for cultivation of rice. The daily practice of cutting grass and weeds is a practical tradition that assures tidy roadsides and manicured pathways, including the terraced rice field paths.

A practical unity of people and nature is the environment of Balinese life. Garden courtyards are not just to be seen but to be touched, felt, smelt, and used. Balinese compounds consist of interrelated open spaces surrounded by walls with four or more open pavilions. Pavilions placed within Bali villa compound walls create courtyards as extended living spaces outdoors. Interplay of closed and open spaces provides an inner harmony, a balance of the yin and yang, that same philosophy of opposites evident throughout the Balinese culture.

There are contradictory and multiple levels of meaning in architectural planning of space surrounded by walls yet once inside the Bali villa there is in fact an interaction of space. Although there is simplicity outside the compound walls, inside the area there is a complexity of many pavilions and sheds. Walls are directional yet static as a place. These themes of complexity and contradiction are those seen in every aspect of the style of Bali tension within tranquility in architecture or in fabric design, dance, gamelan music even within the subtle natures of the Balinese people there is contradiction and complexity.

The exotic garden paradise of Bali and its remarkable culture will hopefully be able to remain as true to itself as the waringin family tree, continually putting down new roots while remembering their ancestral ways.
