Living In Bali

Loved by travellers for its lush, tropical landscape and charming people, the island of Bali is one of the most splendid places on Earth. Spirituality and nature are an integral part of Balinese daily life, and one can easily understand why the island's traditional architecture has an air of peace inspired by the environment with which it sometimes even blends. In Balinese homes, for example, walls are not mandatory, wood is everywhere, earthy tones dominate and plant-thatched roofs abound. Whether they open onto wonderful green landscapes, majestic mountains or beautiful coastlines, the island's houses convey sensations that invite rest and contemplation. This selection of Southeast Asian homes includes new, previously unseen images and is presented in a compact format that allows you to take a piece of paradise with you wherever you go. Looking at these splendid examples of a simple and elegant way of living, one wonders why many more people are not rushing to settle in Bali.
