Junipero sits in a sloping land that meets a river with a beautiful stone landscape surrounded by tropical rainforest. The building containing the main spaces is cladded in charred wood and is placed in a Kerobokan stone base. The stone base looks for a connection with the river, while the wooden building looks for the surrounding trees.
The house is defined by an element that connects the river with the entrance and rises its view to the sky. This becomes the connection with the lower floor and separates the public spaces with the private ones.
The kitchen enjoys the connection with the living room, the terrace and river jungle view to the east, and connects with the swimming pool and its terrace to the west. The floor plan allows a flow of spaces that works in the daily life as well in a more social context.
The dining room overlooks the south view to the jungle, through the horizontal window that frames the greenery. Its position allows it to be a central point between living room, kitchen and swimming pool.
The horizontal window frames the greenery to the south. The floor is done in artisanal Terrazzo done with a mix of natural local stones and aluminum joints by local artisans.
From the studio there is a glimpse to the kitchen, allowing a subtle connection for the daily life of the owners. The natural wood ceiling gives a warmth tone to balance the darker palette of the walls and floor. The wall cladding by handcrafted cement stones continues with the dark pallet in the vertical elements.
The studio and TV room is a space designed for the owners to work from home and enjoy the afternoons together. The black wooden screen is the delicate work of carpenters.
The swimming pool is positioned at the west of the property, connected to the kitchen through a covered terrace. Through the glazed windows is possible to look at the river foliage on the other side of the house. The concrete roof beams are exposed in the façade resembling the midcentury architecture.
The master bedroom overlooks the river jungle, and its space is extended by the terrace. A bench along the east border avoids the use of a handrail that would be more obstructive to the view.
