LEASEHOLD 24 years: Alluring Brutalist-style Villa in Pererenan, Mengwi, Bali.

This unique 2-level villa, on a 300 sqm plot with over 250 sqm of living space, comprises 3 en-suite bedrooms across 2 buildings, an open-plan living room, an 11-meter long swimming pool flanking lush vegetation, and a dining room pergola complete with sauna and cold bath.

This home balances a raw brutalist aesthetic with the warmth of wood, love, light, and shadow. Intertwined noble materials were chosen for their durability and embellishment over time: from the permanence of concrete casted walls softened with an elegant spiral staircase, to the timeless beauty and strength of ironwood. A tropical suspended garden and natural ventilation further enrich the entire space with a sense of flow, calm, and restorative harmony.

The building pays homage to nature. The result of architectural and biophilic design is to foster a dialogue between the interior and exterior and between spaces for social gathering and nooks and alcoves for contemplation. The house is furnished with custom-made bespoke furniture.

Overall, it expresses balance and restraint, simplicity and sophistication.
