Bali-based studio Word of Mouth has sent us photos of the Villa Tantangan project. Completed in 2010, this 15,252 square foot contemporary home is located on Nyanyi Beach, a private and secluded beach on the west coast of Bali. Villa Tantangan is located on Nyanyi Beach; a private and secluded beach on the west coast of Bali. It has been constructed on 6,500 square metres of land, which overlooks the Indian Ocean to the west and a natural river system to the north. The Villa also has views across to the local beach temple and views to the volcanoes in the distance, creating a special connection between the architecture and its place. As a result, the design followed the concept of creating a ‘Landscaped Architecture’ which became important in the physical connection of the natural and built environments.
