PROJECT NARATION

The villa is located in the Uluwatu hills of Bali, an area characterized by a dry climate and generally hot temperatures. The client envisioned a home that offers maximum privacy and security while incorporating a clean green garden that is lightweight in design and easy to maintain.

The initial inspiration came from the clean, minimalist, and well-organized aesthetics of Japanese gardens. This concept is reflected in several elements throughout the landscape, including natural stones, garden lighting, bonsai trees, and ornamental chives.

The client also has a beloved pet cat that they wish to allow to roam freely within the property while ensuring its safety. As a result, tree selection became one of the key considerations in the design. The solution was to incorporate locally available Sakura trees, characterized by their fine, dense branches, which make them less comfortable for cats to climb.

Japanese golf grass was also selected for the garden to minimize the need for frequent mowing. This approach allows the garden to remain neat and well-maintained while reducing maintenance requirements, enabling the gardener to visit only once a month.
