The Javanese joglo, a pavilion-style structure of great integrity, finds new life in a garden estate in Bali.
This modern holiday home, built in a verdant rice field seting, employs a “floating” wood shingle roof that stretches over the main structure.

An inspirational example of how ancient wooden structures find new life in today’s Bali. This indoor/outdoor living pavilion retains the building’s original carved roof and old columns, but is updated with modern lighting and low-level seating in neutral colours.
Even though the twin roofs attract the eye first, it is the wonderfully fluid transition of indoor and outdoor spaces that makes this house the epitome of modern tropical living today.

Bali at The Crossroads
Bali has been labelled many things—tropical paradise, island of the gods, an idyllic Shangri-la, and more—but never before have such words as “urban”, “conurbation”, “traffic-clogged” and “busy” seemed appropriate. Earlier writers have tended to wax lyrical about Bali’s ruralism, its rice field landscapes, its “otherness”. They’ve discussed its largely intact culture, its traditional architecture, mores and religious practices and its other-wordliness that makes such a refreshing contrast with much of the rest of the world.
