SHOVK sets minimalist Villa W in Bali’s hillside

 

Villa W minimalist residence by SHOVK nestles in the mountainous terrain of Bali, presenting a distinctive visual presence against its natural backdrop. The architectural composition of the house comprises three distinct blocks, each contributing to its unique character. The first block features a marble-topped stylobate with a terrace and an infinity pool that extends beyond the cliffs, offering panoramic views of the lush Balinese greenery and the untamed mountain landscape. The second block constitutes the ground floor, accommodating daytime communal spaces, a gym, and technical facilities. The third block, a curved and overhanging first floor, houses the night zone rooms, introducing a contrasting form to the overall structure.

three distinct white blocks compose Villa W

 

Access to Villa W is concealed behind a featureless facade without windows, leading to a spacious yet intimate entrance hall that unveils views of the mountains and ocean through expansive panoramic glazing in the kitchen and living room. Adjacent to the entrance, a compact gym opens to a narrow courtyard with a pool and outdoor shower. Throughout the house, panoramic glazing on both floors ensures uninterrupted views of the island’s landscapes, reinforcing the interconnectedness of the residence with its natural surroundings. SHOVK‘s Villa W harmoniously blends architecture and nature, seamlessly merging the built environment with the surrounding landscapes.
