Balinese themed private estate
Bali is a precious gem in the crown of the Indonesian archipelago.
Rich in art, culture and religious rituals, the entire island exudes
a spiritual presence too powerful to be denied. The landscape is
like a chameleon, changing dramatically from one region to the next.
Verdant rice terraces carved into the terrain, a chain of volcanic
mountains, sandy beach coves protected by coral reef, abundant marine
life in the surrounding sea and timeless village hamlets are just
part of Bali’s alluring charm.
Your Balinese themed estate has a contemporary twist
which displays the craftsmanship of local artisans in the form of
ceremonial ornaments and decorations. Soft furnishings are highlighted
by the black and white checkered cloth that is so dominant in Balinese
Hinduism and symbolizes the spiritual balance of the physical and
unseen worlds. Woven cane floor mats and the aromatic thatch of
the roof structure impart glimpses of traditional village living.
Javanese themed private estate
The island of Java is the most developed and populous island within
the Indonesian archipelago. Exhibiting all the typical characteristics
of Asian society, Java is a fusion of historical influences and
religions. A timeless, yet vibrant culture focuses on the extended
family unit and the idiosyncrasies of village life.
Your estate accentuates the old world charms of
rural Javanese villages, where farmers patiently toil the land and
herbal concoctions are used to heal and energize. Soft furnishings
in traditional batik printed fabrics, rustic timber pieces and a
selection of framed sepia photographs blend eclectically with full
modern comforts in the most appealing manner.
Modern themed private estate
Modern Indonesia has fully embraced international knowledge and
technology, but has still managed to maintain its unique sense of
ethnicity. Despite being part of an era dominated by mass production,
Indonesia continues to rely on handmade craftsmanship for an individual
touch. No longer looked upon as just another developing nation,
Indonesian in fact has an innovative outlook and is geared to anticipate
future trends.
Your estate category explores the creative components
of modern Indonesian design through the use of local pieces of artworks,
sophisticated furnishings and bold colouring. The look is crisp,
fresh and has a contemporary edge that does not compromise the sense
of luxury. Bathed in natural sunlight and exposed to tropical surroundings,
this estate type promotes the virtues of a healthy open living environment.
Primitive themed private estate
Nusa Tenggara covers a vast area that expands out towards the east
of the Indonesian archipelago and closely neighbours the top end
of Australia. It is dominated by the diverse islands of Lombok,
Sumbawa, Flores, Sumba and Timor with hundreds of lesser islands
scattered about. The water surrounding Nusa Tenggara is a dynamic
marine environment represented by most known species of coral and
tropical fish. Providing a rare insight into a region that has defied
the hands of time, Nusa Tenggara is a fascinating destination for
adventure.
Your villa is decorated with subtle tones in earthy
shades that create a complementary backdrop for aged timber furniture
and unique pieces of hand-woven ikat textiles. Traditional baskets
and individual artifacts in primitive tribal designs represent the
various ethnic groups and cultures of the fascinating and relatively
untouched Nusa Tenggara region.
Oriental themed private Estate
The flavour of the orient was introduced to Indonesia with a number
of Chinese migrants from the Fujian and Guangdong provinces during
the time of Dutch colonialism. They came to escape poverty and sought
financial security as merchant middlemen in the ‘east meets
west ’colony. Despite years where they were denied acceptance
and citizenship, Chinese in Indonesia survived and prospered bringing
with them a unique cuisine, traditional festivities and precious
artifacts from their homeland.
Emphasizing the oriental influence imposed throughout
the Indonesian archipelago by Chinese migrants and sea merchants.
Antique ceramics and distinct objects of art show an obsession for
detail and skilled workmanship. The overall look is visually brought
together through a careful selection of furniture to create a timeless
ambience within a thoroughly modern dwelling.
Palembang themed private Estate
Located in the south of tropical Sumatra, Palembang was once the
capital for the powerful Hindu Kingdom of Sri Vijaya. Dutch traders
later of the 17th Century later established a deep water port and
in due course when an excess of natural resources were discovered
it became a major shipping centre for the wealthy Sumatran oil fields.
The Palembang of today highlights the remnants of a 1400 year old
culture that has survived the challenges of time.
Your villa illustrates a style reminiscent of the
grandeur of the sea-faring nobility from the Sumatran port of trade
in Palembang. Woven textiles embellished with golden thread together
with rich pieces of ornately carved furniture transports us back
historically in time on a journey to discover the regal splendor
of this bygone era.
