double-height tiny villa in bali develops a flexible layout within a limited build footprint

The Putih Tiny Villa Bali redefines contemporary living in Bali

Balitecture introduces its latest innovative architectural design, The Putih Tiny Villa, a retreat located in Nyanyi, an up-and-coming area of Bali, Indonesia. The one-bedroom retreat redefines the concept of contemporary living through a thoughtful plan that optimizes space distribution within the 65 sqm area. The villa is built on a modest 90 sqm plot, which includes landscaped gardens, a terrazzo pool, an outdoor shower, and multiple entertainment spaces. The structure develops a double-height living room and floor-to-ceiling glass facade ingeniously utilizing the limited build footprint to form a surprisingly spacious villa. The project seamlessly integrates warm tropical aesthetics and an exceptional selection of materials reflecting the unique charm of its surroundings.

Balitecture realizes A FLUID AND FLEXIBLE living SPACE

The Putih, which means ‘white’ in Indonesian, organizes a mezzanine-level bedroom with a dedicated work desk and ample storage space. The ground floor arranges a spacious lounge room with floor-to-ceiling windows that allow plentiful sunlight within the structure. The open-plan layout seamlessly interconnects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, forming a fluid and flexible space. The outdoor zone exudes a relaxing atmosphere and features a sun-drenched pool, an outdoor shower, a bamboo swing, and a seating area. The architectural studio follows an innovative design approach to develop a functional and cozy living space that despite its compact size and small footprint comes equipped with all the home comforts.

The asymmetric slanted roof is a distinctive feature of the design adding visual interest and creating a sense of spaciousness with its double-height ceilings, inviting abundant natural light and ventilation. The formation also enables a sense of relaxation amidst the lush tropical landscape. ‘By integrating the slanted roof and double-height ceilings, the design optimizes natural airflow, reducing the reliance on mechanical ventilation systems’, comments Yusuf, Architectural Coordinator at Balitecture. The incorporation of locally sourced materials further minimizes the project’s ecological footprint while supporting the local economy. The structure features elegant Jimbaran stone, adding a touch of organic warmth and texture to the exterior facade. Inside, wooden flooring flows through the interior spaces. ‘Combining three color palettes from white paint, warm woods, and black aluminum ensures this tropical concept design stands out’, adds Yusuf.
