Living in Bali [antikvár]

A Villa in Seminyak SEMINYAK The owner of this villa is internationally acclaimed in the field of fashion and design. This is reflected in the house, which occupies less than half of the 1,000-square-meter property. It is built around a garden courtyard where blooming frangipani trees cast soft shadows. The rectangular spaces defined by the colonnaded concrete walkways and verandahs feature carefully arranged tables with thick wooden tops, sturdy stools and benches with an antique patina reflected in the luminous floors. Works by artists who have visited the house hang in the living areas furnished minimalistically with cushions and a mixture of Chinese and Indonesian pieces. The prevailing influence is rustic, with grass-thatched roofs and wooden furniture on the verandahs. Indoor and outdoor living are combined. A quaint and comfortable sitting pavilion overlooks the aquamarine swimming pool. This house, with its fluid transitions between unrestricted environments, is emblematic of modern Bali. Life here seems unencumbered.
