Description
Since early this century, Bali's paradisiacal beauty and the remarkable spirit of its people have attracted a steady stream of artists, architects, anthropologists, mystics, and celebrities from all over the world, and the new residents have interpreted traditional Balinese style with elegant, chic, eccentric, and unusual results.
Featured in this exquisitely illustrated volume are some twenty of the most exceptional homes on the island, all shown in their lush tropical surroundings. They include homes in the traditional village style; pondoks, or the single-pavilion dwellings of the rice fields; royal palaces, such as Woolite heiress Carole Muller's luxury cottage on the upper terrace of the summer palace of East Bali's last king; beach houses; temples; spectacular mountain residences; and homes with magnificently designed gardens.
A visitor's guide and an international source list of Balinese wares completes this insider's tour of the island. Photographed by Isabella Ginanneschi, who lives half the year in Bali, and written by architect and garden designer Made Wijaya, At Home in Bali is the next best thing to being there.
