ThePavilionTypology, open on all sides and covered by a pitched roof, allows daily living in close contact with nature and ensures constant air circulation. This is essential in a Country with high temperatures. ThePavilion’sroof structure features vertical supports made of “ double T “ painted steel, while the beams are made in Bangkirai wood ( a local wood ). The entire roof structure is made with Bangkirai wood rafters and panels. Regarding “sofa area”, was created a large concrete shelf on which large cushions are placed. The entire Pavilion’s flooring is made in “Cor Halus” grey, similar to grit.Few walls delimit the functional spaces and never reach the roof: the view of the entire roof is never prevented.  TheContemporary buildingis a long “slat.” The construction technique consisted of pillars and infill masonry, but the external finishing was made of local stones. There are two separate entrances. Inside, there is a master bedroom with a walk-in closet, a studio, a TV area, an extra bed, and two open bathrooms—these last offer equal privacy and exposure, with open-air showers surrounded by stones.Text description provided by the architects.The project for this private villa is located within a Compound just eight kilometers south ofUbud, Bali—rice fields, a creek, and a jungle border the land.

The project includes two architectural elements: onepavilion housing communal functions such as living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry, and guest toilet, and one contemporary building for private functions such asbedrooms, studio, and bathrooms. There is also a coverage garage and a large storage.The master bedroom is suspended and is supported by an iron beam. A large window allows a stunning jungle view.
