00:01Hello, Bali Interiors. My name is Shrey. Come take a peek in my paradise.
00:11This house was, we bought it about three years ago, towards the second half of COVID.
00:17It's river-facing land. I was very careful about making sure that the view is unobstructed.
00:23You'll see that later. The house itself is inspired with Japanese designs, but also tropical elements.
00:39The Architect is a local firm called Design Assembly. They're extremely good. I highly recommend them.
00:45Our interior design was done by Studio MMR and our landscaping was done by Bali Landscape Company.
00:53This is the living space. The idea was you come in through the door and then you see the entire
00:58view with the pool and a lot of greenery around.
01:01A lot of the interiors, we try to keep it as minimal as possible with influences, with natural light and
01:06greenery.
01:13I just want to talk a little bit about the materials used in this house.
01:17We try to keep the materials to a minimum, consistent across, as primal as possible.
01:23So, you know, natural elements. As you can see, the flooring here is a stone finish.
01:29We use a lot of teak. There's some marble as accents for surfaces, teak dining table, a lot of glass.
01:41And then for the prep kitchen area we use, it's a natural stone composite means it's very hard to scratch,
01:48damage, stain and it's extremely durable.
02:08Here we have some bamboo lights. We have a little teak wood rafter for privacy between the front door and
02:14the living space.
02:15As you go up, the stairs are made of andesit stone and we have this nice Buddha statue head of
02:22natural andesit stone from Bali as well.
02:26Coming this way, it's actually one of my favorite parts of the house. So come in, I'll show you.
02:46This is a room I use every day. So this is the indoor gym. We have a treadmill, a set
02:52of weights.
02:52You can see that it's designed with a lot of natural light coming in and then I keep the windows
02:57open all the time.
02:58It's good ventilation and then just generally healthier to exercise in.
03:01You can see that there's an outdoor gym area, which is great for, you know, functional exercises, calisthenics.
03:08We have a dip bar here, some gymnastic rings and it's kind of seamlessly connected, but then it's also divided
03:17in case multiple people are using the gym.
03:19This connects to the recovery area.
03:26We have an ice bath over here. It goes up to about five degrees Celsius.
03:31We have a sauna over here.
03:38This area is really nice after the gym.
03:41The rest of the outdoor area, as you can see, we have an infinity edge pool which overlooks the river.
03:46We have a nice sunken sitting area to relax.
04:07Coming in from the outdoor area, this is the first guest bedroom.
04:18Here we have a working desk with a vanity mirror, full height storage.
04:23All of the curtains in the bedrooms are completely black out and they're also automated so I can control them
04:30from just sitting in bed.
04:32We try to maximize the outdoor light while keeping privacy.
04:35So the landscaping is designed for the privacy and you still get the feel of greenery and natural lighting in
04:43the room.
04:56So this is the guest bathroom. The walls are natural, local stone and then we have a lot of natural
05:04lighting coming in from the skylight and then the window behind you.
05:08This is kind of like a big sink that's completely made out of stone material as well. Rain shower, it's
05:15just got everything you need.
05:37I just want to talk a little bit as we walk through guest room one to guest room two, all
05:42of this that you see, you'll see it all around the house.
05:44The house basically is is cool in which is hardwood locally available hardwood in Indonesia, but it's black because it's
05:53burned.
05:54So the burning process is called Shugiban and it it creates a protect not only is it aesthetic to match
06:02the aesthetic of the house,
06:03but it also creates a protective layer from, you know, insects, termites and weather.
06:09And it's actually a Japanese technique to increase the longevity of the wood.
06:14So this will last for about a hundred years. No problem.
06:17We have the same oolin for the decking over here near the pool.
06:22And that's obviously not burned. So you can see the color, the color contrast.
06:25The outside of this house is dark, dark modern Japanese and the inside is tropical and warm.
06:31And that's the kind of contrast we tried to create. Coincidentally, we also named the house Bagheera,
06:36which if you watch the Jungle Book, the Black Panther is called Bagheera.
06:39It's a it's an ode to my culture, which is from India, but then also the house, which resembles, I
06:46think, a Black Panther.
07:00So as you come this way, this is the second guest bathroom. It's on the corner of the land.
07:06One of my favorite features about this room is the view over here.
07:09It feels almost a little bit like Ubud. There's the river running through.
07:13These windows kind of open up completely to give you an unobstructed, seamless corner view of the river and the
07:21trees.
07:22You can hear it when you sleep. There's a lot of natural breeze coming in.
07:25And then if you look this way, you can see the entire pool and the landscaping right across the bed.
07:34So that pretty much covers the lower area of the house.
07:38And now we'll take a look at the master area, which is the floor upstairs.
07:56So this is the first room on the on the upper level.
08:01So the first purpose is as a cinema room.
08:04We have this 75 inch TV and this like lounge sofa.
08:10So it's super comfortable to watch as we go further in.
08:13This is just a little multipurpose bar area.
08:17It's got some great Allen marble, which is a cool feature.
08:20But we have this little pantry set up with an inbuilt fridge.
08:23So it's self sufficient.
08:26And this is the the working desk and the office area.
08:30And as we go in, it's got a little powder room with these red terrazzo.
08:36And again, with a little bit of natural light, a massive mirror and this granite block sink.
08:55So as we come out of the lounge area, we have this outdoor balcony with decking that continues all the
09:02way across the level.
09:03We have outdoor terraces over here.
09:07And then on this side is the next room, which is the master bedroom.
09:34So as we come in, you can see we have teak flooring window for more natural light.
09:40This entire thing opens up for natural light and greenery.
09:44We have a table over here with a full length mirror, extra king size bed.
09:49And this door leads into the walk in and the bathroom walk in closet area.
09:57We have a full length mirror over here with a little table and then storage on both sides with glass.
10:04So you can see what's inside and lighting.
10:19This way we have the bathroom.
10:22We have double connected sinks, a lot of natural lighting inside.
10:28This is a cool feature.
10:30It's my outdoor shower.
10:32This door can open and close.
10:35And this is the outdoor shower with, you'll be able to see it.
10:39It's got a nice view and a lot of greenery and, but it's also private.
10:43So nobody can really look in.
10:59Thank you Bali Interiors for taking a peek in my paradise and see you later.
11:04Bye.
