Book Description
An insider's look at the exotic, decorative lifestyle of the "island
of the gods."
Since early this century, Bali's beauty and the remarkable spirit of
its people have attracted a steady stream of artists, architects, anthropologists,
mystics, and celebrities from all over the world. These new residents have
interpreted traditional Balinese style with elegant, chic, eccentric, and
inspiring results.
Featured in this exquisitely illustrated volume are 23 of the most
exceptional homes on the island, all shown in their lush tropical surroundings.
They include houses in the traditional village style, the pondok pavilion
dwellings of the rice fields, royal palaces, beach houses, and spectacular
mountain residences. The book also features homes with magnificently designed
gardens, as well as courtyard shrines and the public temples that play
a role in Balinese life for both natives and newer residents. An international
source list of Balinese wares completes this insider's tour of the island,
making At Home in Bali the next best thing to being there. 260 illustrations,
250 in full color
