ovelli house is a property in the middle of a very built-up area in Seminyak (Bali) therefore the main challenge was to create something that would accommodate all the spaces required by the client within a very restricted square footage. The approach has been one of designing spaces interconnected with each as much as possible in order to allow for a sense of flow, connection with nature & privacy all at the same time.
The overall aesthetic of the villa is a tribute to the Mediterranean architecture that played a role in the backgrounds of both the client and the architect. Rounded corners are favoured over hard edges in order to infuse softness to the imposing lines of the structure. The material palette is purposefully restrained; largely consisting of white rendered walls, polished concrete and white painted timber – all offset with an abundance of natural vegetation.
