Models range from a two
storey single unit with living space
downstairs and bedroom above (the
Single Bali T), to houses
with two rooms downstairs, and upstairs
(the
Double Bali T). The system
is modular and many sizes and variations
are possible. We have designed with
flexibility in mind so that houses can
be grouped and used according to a variety
of needs.
Orientation and plans vary as local
conditions are taken into account. The
basic house sizes and plan stay fairly
consistent but the position and design
of the bathroom and kitchen varies considerably.
The houses are modular and many other
sizes and designs are possible. You
can purchase more accomodation. We are
keeping prices deliberately low to enable
a wide range of discerning visitors
and residents to partake in the stewardship
of Bali. Homes come fully furnished/ready
to live-in, with shared 14 meter lap
pool, orchard, gardens, biological waste
water treatment, and service.
The first project is situated away from
traffic noise in the village of Lodtunduh,
Ubud, on a breezy site, overlooking
a beautiful sea of rice. Combining the
serenity of a Japanese house and the
passion of Bali.
"I noticed
that a peculiarly agreeable odor of
the wood used in the structure of this
house seemed to fill the air of the
rooms with a delicate perfume; and in
this connection I was led to think of
the rooms I had seen in America encumbered
with chairs, bureaus, tables, bedsteads,
washstands, etc., and of the dusty carpets
and ........ varnished furniture, I
could but remember how much work is
entailed upon some one properly to attend
to such a room; and enjoying by contrast
the fresh air and broad flood of light,
limited only by the dimensions of the
room, which this Japanese house afforded,
I could not recall with any pleasure
the stifling apartments with which I
had been familiar at home.
If a foreigner is not satisfied with
the severe simplicity, and what might
at first strike him as meagreness, in
the appointments of a Japanese house,
and is nevertheless a man of taste,
he is compelled to admit that its paucity
of furniture and carpets spares one
the misery of certain painful feelings
that incongruities always produce. He
recalls with satisfaction certain works
on household art, in which it is maintained
that a table with carved cherubs beneath,
against whose absurd contours one knocks
his legs, is an abomination; and that
carpets which have depicted upon them
winged angels, lions, or tigers, -or
worse still, a simpering and reddened
maiden being made love to by an equally
ruddy shepherd, - are hardly the proper
surfaces to tread upon with comfort,
though one may take a certain grim delight
in wiping his soiled boots upon them.
In the Japanese house the traveller
is at least not exasperated with such
a medly of dreadful things; he is certainly
spared the pains that “civilised”
styles of appointing and furnishing
often produce. Mr. Lowell truthfully
remarks on “the waste and aimlessness
of our American luxury, which is an
abject enslavement to tawdry upholstery.”
.....It will be seen that the rooms
are small, much smaller than those of
a similar class of American houses,
though appearing more roomy from the
absence of furniture."

Homes and Their Surroundings
