After spending two unforgettable years in Bali, I fell in love with a small corner of the island called Uluwatu — a place where time slows down, motorbikes hum in the background, and life flows between a morning surf and a padel match before lunch. The contrast is part of its magic: moments of chaos followed by complete calm.

I didn’t want to leave with just memories. I wanted to create something of my own, something that would keep me anchored to this place I’ve grown so attached to. That’s how the idea of building a villa was born.

A Family Investment

For me, it’s more than just bricks and mortar — it’s a family investment. Something I can return to with my family, but also something that makes sense financially. Bali’s short-term rental market is thriving, especially in areas like Uluwatu, Bingin, and Nyang Nyang, where beautifully designed villas near the ocean attract travelers, digital nomads, and remote workers from around the world.

But more importantly, we wanted this to be an honest investment — something with purpose beyond profit. Bali has been flooded with soulless constructions and copy-paste “Greek-style” buildings that have little to do with the island’s culture, energy, or landscape. We wanted to do the opposite.

Designing with Intention

One of the most exciting parts of building in Bali is the freedom to create — and with that freedom comes a responsibility to respect the place you're building in.

Our villa is designed to reflect the soul of Bali. We’re using natural materials like teak wood, bamboo, and polished concrete. We’re working with local artisans and builders who understand the landscape, the traditions, and the rhythm of the island. Open spaces, airflow, texture, and balance are at the core of the architecture — we want the house to breathe, to feel grounded, and to feel human.

What’s Next

The villa is currently under construction in Nyang Nyang, and like any project, it comes with its challenges — but I’m genuinely excited for what’s ahead. This isn’t just a property. It’s a long-term commitment to a place I love, and a lifestyle I believe in.
