For a long time I have been fascinated by "small but beautiful" houses. Now I wanted to develop this Interest into suitable architecture for the tropics and especially for Bali.
Smaller does not necessarily mean simple, plain or less comfortable, my approach is to focus on functionality, the perfect arrangement of room layout making the best exploitation of space, good and functional detail solutions and solid workmanship. Smaller houses require less use of limited land and often allow maximum experience of the surroundings. Instead of shutting out the nature and blocking the climate, the living space is extended into the open air. Smaller houses use less recources and can be less costly.
The aim is to built something comfortable which evokes good feelings. No stylish Design plus modern gadgets for a brief glitter show, these low-tech houses are meant to be more like good reliable friends. They want to speak subtly to us of the valuable things in life -- harmony, peace and inner Quality.
