hello and welcome back to the beautiful land of bali indonesia my name is ross i'll be
your host today with balitecture and today i invite you to experience la maison d'ulysse
so this place is so unique it is very artistic very curated and very poetic so today i'm going
to be a little bit more flowy so i can match the property for you guys i want to show you right
here as we walk in there's kind of a cube styling you're going to see a lot of things at this villa
that are very different than a traditional balinese construct a couple big facts if you want
to come with me it's 2 700 meters squared is how big the property is there's four bedrooms there is
a beautiful garden i'm not going to tell you what type of flower yet and everything about both the
exterior the property itself and also the interior has been skillfully selected and there's going to
be some really unique things here you haven't seen before so i'm very excited to show you this one
now from this view right here you can already see
that it's nice and lavish in there so come with me and let's explore
right away to greet us we have this antique it's actually from
kalimantan which is a big island in indonesia it's from the front of a house
to welcome you and when you come in you see this nice open space it is very airy and so you have
a lot of airflow it feels really nice it feels really fresh there's a couple fans going too
and this is contrast to a lot of places in bali it's a really nice feature that they have here
so if you come down here you're going to see some nice ironwood flooring here and everything is so
open very open concept you have the seating area over here a very nice unique steel table
cushions to sit you have the pool area all right we have a dining area right in here with this
designed lighting and there's a lot of special design lighting in this home which we're going
to talk a little bit more about later and then we also have some custom lighting right over
here over the bar and this really functions as a place to bring people together right
you could have a drink you could have a meal you could talk to the chef while they're preparing
the food but really the whole design here is to bring together to foster community back here
you have a nice bar set up which is lovely in the back everything you need to mix up a cocktail
to host and this leads you right outside to this outdoor dining and this is really fun because
the flowers are literally falling into you how cool is that you have the view of the whole place
nice wooden table here to sit to dine to enjoy i mean is this beautiful or is this beautiful
so you'll notice even by the pool it's very very spacious very open it's 15 meters across from one
side to the other we have some umbrellas lounge chairs the usual there's a nice seating area
over here to relax and then you'll notice the beautiful garden that runs along the pool area
and they've actually designed it in a way where in bali a lot of places there's very big vast gardens
but here they made it very nice compact a little more subtle because you have this
beautiful rice field view back here that they wanted to make sure that you still had view of
there's also a river that runs along back here too perfect place to relax to enjoy and
everything here is designed to be contemporary and minimalistic and when you look at the
outside structure you notice it's all open at the bottom and then at the top
you have the paneling it's ulin or ironwood and it gives it a very nice contemporary look
so here are some more designed lights actually by own chang kwan he is an indo-chinese designer
located here in bali these are fantastic keep an eye out for some more of the lights later on
and then this beautiful teak door this is actually a custom-made door
you're going to see all the carvings different colors is a very special piece if you want to
follow me we're going to head upstairs notice this really cool floating elegant looking staircase
again going with the theme of openness and spaciousness and these steps are actually
made out of iron and if you notice the color it's natural from rust with a very special
product that actually had to be flown in here to bali to seal it off when the right color was met
welcome to the second floor up here on the wall you're going to notice some more of the designed
lighting and actually if you look really closely you'll notice that they're made out of zippers now
come back here we're going to notice some more of the lighting here and actually when you look at it
it's literally been hand woven it is so so special now this back here this design and a lot of places
in this house just make me like it's just so nice so like like flowy right this is called mosha
rabier and you'll see these patterns in different mosques and different places in the world but it's
very beautiful and it has a really nice effect when the sun shines through get a really nice
shadow on the ground and this is something you're not gonna see really anywhere else
in bali this is very very unique very special and really one of the striking pieces about this home
also when you look down this hallway here you're gonna notice some of the some more of
the the designed lighting this all being made out of copper woven again it's very fantastic
so moving back in here we have this big teak door antique frame which is absolutely beautiful
and it's hand carved very very nice very sturdy very solid stuff and you come inside
you have a tv room tv room media room hangout again like these all these light fixtures
unlike anything you've ever seen before got a couple back here on the wall nice spacious
nice couch good colors now this is a fun feature because from the tv room we can come outside here
we can enjoy the rice paddy view maybe a view of the pool relax ah comment below

coming into our first bedroom of the tour and in here you're going to notice a really
nice balinese volcanic stone also in the shower it's really dark and really nice
coming around if you look at this mirror it's actually has kind of an old weathered look to it
which is a design job as well and then a lot of the furniture and a lot of the different rooms are
all custom pieces as well some more of the on-chin designed lights very nice he's also one of the top
designers in asia just so you know here's another one wonderful bed now another really fun feature
is you have the sliding glass window and then you have this ohlin the ironwood paneling
so they call it like a first skin and second skin so they'll actually open this for you when you
go to bed and then you wake up to the beautiful open view and the fresh air coming in the breeze
very lovely i mean the rice field view just it never gets old it's so beautiful out there and
you can see the different palm trees the tropics here's some birds chirping it's poetic it's
so here's another upstairs room there's three rooms upstairs in total we're gonna notice a
different like really nice kind of like green pastel color scheme we have the nice curtains here
there's more volcanic rock back here in the shower and you can actually see the flowers

there's actually a fish pond right down here too which is really nice the white paneling gives it a
nice touch and in here we actually do have some nice open windows and when you come back here

cappuccino in the morning journal this is just a really nice relaxing spot
all right we've made our way back outside and i want to show you another special area
we have a tulip garden over here specifically all full of tulips which is a lovely flower i
might add we have more hanging flowers to greet us and some more of the special paras Kerobokan
we saw before in the bathroom you'll also see some on the side of the house and if you notice
this wall the inspiration to actually stick pieces out it gives it a really nice antique
kind of rustic look which is very special as well but this is a really fun feature as well and i
think that leaves one more spot for us to look at which is my favorite in the pool time to jump in
so i'm back in my favorite spot enjoying the absolutely breathtaking view now the owner and
the architect are actually from the same country and i want you to guess based on everything
