A Hillside House In Indonesia

On a rocky Hillside House In Indonesia, Batu Layar, Indonesia, a steeply contoured plot of 1600 square meters has become the new home of a young couple and their three children. Created by Wahana Architects, the home has 1200 square meters to build an area that beds comfortably in its contoured environment. With a rise of about 25 meters from the main road, the Hill House gets terrific views over an ocean panorama. Mature trees and shrubs grow all around the ground, creating abundant green cocoon from higher ground. A swimming pool aligns with the open horizon, along with a wide sun terrace and outdoor living areas. Stay tuned for floor plans and video travel.
Rumah Mewah Di Tebing, or The Hill House, stands on a difficult piece of land. Here, the architects focused on maximizing the construction site to create a comfortable, spacious family home. The level at which the main volume of the building should stand was guided by the potential to realize an infinite sea view.
The modern exterior is a linear composition of concrete and glass. Three building blocks operate around a large swimming pool and deck, where outdoor residences benefit most from the hot weather.
Two of the horizontal volumes are positioned to receive the ultimate ocean views, while the third volume is located diagonally to capitalize on the narrower perimeter at the rear.
The functional outdoor space is designed to encourage an indoor-outdoor living experience, where there is freedom of movement between different areas of the home through fresh air and sunshine.
The pool seat is an atmospheric setting at night, illuminated by niche spotlights that are tucked into a concrete overhang above it.
A timber-framed overhang protrudes from the main living volume of the house, where it provides shade over floor-to-ceiling windows.
The pool extends across the entire width of the home and wraps around the deck in a shallow L-shape.
Established trees and shrubs grow densely around the property, growing an abundant green environment that provides privacy and peace to the home.
Wooden perimeter walls keep the sun deck completely deprived of peripheral areas.
Water plays a continuous role throughout the home, filling reflective pools and creating softly undulating music. Inner decks “float” above the water surface in large rafts and narrow treads.
Sinu trees push up through gaps made in the roof of the building, where they are content to seek the sun.
The wooden ceiling treatment in the living room is complemented by a solid wooden coffee table. Decorative vases add blue on the table that ties in with the ocean view.
A simple beige carpet contrasts lightly with the dark tile.
In the TV room, a cassock sofa is focused on a large walnut media. A tripod floor lamp is paired with an elegant chair and footstool set to form a comfortable reading night. This family room is inserted as a transition area between the more formal living-dining space and the private domain that contains the bedrooms. This area is also linked to the study, which makes it a center of action.
Due to the contoured nature of the site, the climb from the entrance to the highest point in the structure is great. Entering a dramatic cave-like passage, the climb begins with a ramp to the settlement.
The circulation around and through the property is a semi-outdoor path, bordered with rustic stone walls and overhanging plant beds.
Comfortable seats nest in narrow architectural corners.
Glass walls allow the interior spaces to feel a fluid connection with the outdoor living spaces.
With impressive sea views to the west, the architects were challenged to deal with the intensity of solar radiation.
Spaces between the architecture and the outer stone wall promote cooling air circulation around the property.
Vertical panels are installed to shade the home from direct sunlight.
A decoratively cut screen mimics the stone walls at the front entrance.
The thin build-up allows for efficient, natural air circulation. Glass walls and glass railings facilitate a barrier-free light fixture.
Bedrooms are modestly large, elegant spaces, with a focus on concrete and wood finishes.
Heavy drapes block the early morning sun.
The master bathroom is large and luxurious. Glossy gray stone slabs, cover the wide bathroom floor, dress a main wall, and wrap around a centrally located bathtub. The tub enjoys a spectacular view over the ocean and the surrounding forest. A double sink vanity unit is hidden away around a corner where vanity mirrors can be easily mounted on the wall.

Located in Bali, Indonesia, these four stunning jungle villas are where modernity meets Mother Nature. Displayed by Illya Kovalchuk, These elegant villas are presented in a natural material palette of timber, stone and rattan. The palette forms an inviting warmth while adhering to a high-end aesthetic. The first villa features a beautiful vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden beams; glass walls bring views of the jungle on all sides. The second villa is a linear structure with an abundant courtyard in its heart. Villa three is planted in the thicket of the jungle and has palm trees on a fabulous roof terrace. We end up with a chic villa, steeped in gold accents, jeweled tones and contemporary wooden tin ceilings.
We travel first to Bud Villa, a luxurious tropical Balinese villa with stunning vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. Multiple wicker hangers of different sizes fall from the roof, between two cooling ceiling fans.
An L-shaped tufted sofa sets up a cushioning soft base that is reinforced with thick, textured throws and deep cushions. A large living room rug shades the living room floor, creating a warm island on the cool tile.
A natural jute round rug is placed next to the window, along with a small puff, where one can stop and enjoy the amazing views from the vast tree canopy.
The round theme is triggered by a beautiful round window above the kitchen.
The round window frames the jungle view as if it were a piece of hand-painted art.
A stone-tipped kitchen island stands on a narrow base that suits the light and airy aesthetic of the spacious room.
Outside on the decorated terrace, outdoor hunting chairs rise next to a swimming pool. Shore plants grow greenery against the concrete perimeter of the property to fuse it effectively with the surrounding environment.
The exterior of the villa has a charming sloping roof; an entire glass wall is cut to fit the hanger.
This linear modern villa exterior is interrupted by a command front entrance that protrudes high above the roof line.
The protrusion of the flat roof forms a canopy over outdoor seating, giving them a happy shade from the balmy sunshine. The shadow overhang also acts as a cooling aid for the interior spaces.
At the back of the property, a tempting pool glows pale blue.
Boundaries are blurred between indoor and outdoor living spaces, encouraging daily life to flow without boundaries.

Throw pillows, puffs, a majestic Buddha statue, and the uplifting beauty of Mother Nature creates a quiet and simple space for prayer, reflection, and solitude.
Between the kitchen and dining rooms, two chairs are turned to the impressive courtyard perspective.
The peaceful bedroom design gets a sparkle of color in the form of a vibrant red accent chair. Floor lamps are located around the bedroom to create a soft mood lighting system at night.
A brick arch makes a striking feature in the bathroom, triggering a terracotta decorative palette.
A terracotta vanity unit appears to protrude from the bathroom feature wall, while a pedestal sink boldly contrasts in glossy black marble.

Indonesian House: Light Playing with Stone and Concrete
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
As the future home of a designer couple, this project came into the hands of LINKS architects with some very specific homeowner requirements. The couple wanted to integrate their daily work environment as a fundamental piece of the puzzle, where it merges with the regular routine at home. Because of this desire for hard work and home life, the 375-square-foot house was built on two main functions. The essential home office is located downstairs on the first half-basement floor, with a welcoming residential area located on the upper level. It is here that a tall window envelops a toned double-height room, and an impressive windscreen brings an amazing sunlight pattern.
The modern exterior of this project uses a pattern of wind blocks that perform a decorative function both inside and out. The blocks were implemented to allow a generous influx of lifting sunlight to enter the double high living space, where the playful penetration causes an aesthetic play of light.
Planters face the home exterior on two levels, which work to blend the contemporary structure with its surrounding green landscape, thus mitigating its presence on the ground.
Large black gates reveal a shady glimpse of the terraced entrance inside. Elevated planters and outdoor lighting create a magical atmosphere to welcome the owners home, and create a lasting first impression on guests.
At the back of the house, the classic gable of a roof is brightly highlighted by a strip of exterior light around its edge. Massive windows break the side of the building, exposing happy sky views to those living inside.
A tall window wraps around the sloping roof above the double-height living room, exposing the space to clear skyscrapers. The room is further brightened with light decorative pieces in the form of a soft cream carpet from a living room and a modern sofa. Modern black wheelchairs add a dark score to the layout.
The wall of decorative windbreaks provides the living room with a unique focus. The wall is raised to allow access to the concrete roof of the car park, where a dry garden is planted.
The living area is a bit proud of the kitchen dining room, where a small lighted staircase gives access. The gabled roof encompasses the entire living space, making it possible to reach the ultimate ceiling height thanks to the slope of the slope.
The kitchen appears from behind flat fronts, with no cabinet door handles.
A mezzanine platform is built over the kitchen to better utilize the vast ceiling height in this area.
Access ladders climb up and over the hidden kitchen project. A sun-heated attic net makes a tempting place for rest and relaxation under a wide roof window.
The homeowner demanded that the project put a firm focus on accessibility to welcome their elderly parents who have walking challenges. Aesthetically pleasing accessible ramps were built to connect the floors instead of large stairs. The mid-level ramp optimizes and maximizes the available area in the house.
The semi-private living space is located in front of the house, with more secluded bedrooms to the rear.
The two living volumes are separated by a dry garden, which gives additional ventilation and natural light.
A peaceful atmosphere grows out of the inner garden, which feeds on a resting pause in the separation between the walls of the two masses.
The outdoor home entrance evokes the same feeling of rest with abundant green planting and bright light. Despite its cool raw concrete exterior, the home has a warm and attractive presentation. This forecourt is also the main garden for the home, although the rooftop gardens offer sweeter views and the courtyards surrounded between living volumes give more privacy.
The master bathroom is a darkly decorated space with a black bathtub. A glass wall toilet is installed next to the shower cabin in a smooth, sharp layout.
The bathroom as a whole is a glass-walled room that allows natural light to be borrowed from the bedroom windows.
A unique bathroom basin looks through the glass wall into the bedroom and the views beyond the outside windows. A capped faucet descends onto the shallow black sink. The dark decorative plan continues through the bedroom to achieve one coherent look.
A basement floor plan, including the main garden area with a terrace, a maid’s bedroom and bathroom, a universal room and the home office, which lives next to a convenient kitchen and dining room.
First floor plan with main open living room, dining room and kitchen layout. We also see a nursery and a guest room on the opposite side of the dry garden here, as well as a pantry and a small bathroom.
