Product Description

The phenomenon loosely termed "Bali style" has been the subject matter for countless books on art, architecture, and interior design. In this book, author and architect Gianni Francione showcases the new generation of Bali-style homes, interiors, and artifacts that utilize what he terms a new internationalism.

Even though the timeless, distinctive Balinese balé, open to a panorama of rice fields and the evening breeze, is still there, it may now be made in marble or stone. Similarly, present-day villas, resort bungalows, shops, restaurants, and other buildings are just as likely to use modernist techniques and materials as they are to utilize alang-alang and coconut wood.

Bali Houses presents this new departure in architecture, interior design, glassware, table settings, textiles, furniture, and furnishings in many never-before-photographed locations. It is a fitting sequel to Bali Modern.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bali Houses Design, November 4, 2006
By Douglas L. Langelier (San Diego, California United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bali Houses: New Wave Asian Architecture and Design (Hardcover)
Being a Decorator, this comes in handy for clients who like the look of the Tropics. It's a complete book of ideas, design strategies, and an overall look into another world of comfortable, colorful, Paradise influence to bring a little joy to the reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Balinese houses - paradise., January 3, 2006
By Jon M. "groove eagle" (Gig Harbor, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bali Houses: New Wave Asian Architecture and Design (Hardcover)
This is a genuinely fine book. The photographs are spectacular, with fine color and resolution.
The text isn't too in-depth about houses in Bali, but the pictures speak for themselves.
I wholeheartedly recommend it, got me?
