The Balinese Beach House

The Brief of the Project

The first lockdown imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic led our clients to rethink their spaces. The idea of renovating their 20 year old beach house just outside city limits sounded like the perfect distraction from the everyday chaos of being locked inside their city apartment.

The brief to this end was straightforward, they wanted something minimal, quick, and easy to execute. They wanted the beach house to double up as an exotic getaway, their own personal haven amidst all the chaos. The larger idea was to keep the shell minimal and bare while being open to play it up with furniture and decor. The clients wanted it to be one with nature and preferred natural elements like wood, bamboo, and earthy ceramics to make up the design language.

The clients wanted it to be one with nature and preferred natural elements like wood, bamboo, and earthy ceramics to make up the design language.

The Design Intent:

The design philosophy was driven by three major themes/focus areas –
  • Staying true to the brief, interiors were kept to a minimal with reliance on raw exposed finishes and textures
  • Unique art pieces, plenty of greenery, and handcrafted furnitures were used to bring about the element of exotic getaway
  • Aligned spaces and elements to focus on breathtaking views of the vast pool to add to the wow-factor

Designs that resonate, spaces that inspire.
