This villa begins with a quiet idea: keep it simple, keep it intentional.

Synergizing Human, Space, and Nature

Set on Gili Air—an island where life moves at walking pace and motorbikes don’t exist—the project embraces that slower rhythm and translates it into architecture. The result is a modern sanctuary that feels light, calm, and effortlessly livable. Every line, junction, and transition is arranged to make movement intuitive, proving that comfort doesn’t need excess—just clarity.

A large glass door forms the relationship between the living area and the bedroom. It acts as a transparent link that visually connects the two zones while still preserving privacy. This subtle division creates a sense of openness and continuity, allowing each space to breathe without compromising its purpose.

The living room stretches toward the outdoor deck, dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior. On an island where the outdoors is part of daily life—whether you arrive by bicycle or on foot—this connection gives the compact layout surprising depth, making the villa feel larger than its footprint suggests.

Slight elevation gives the building presence, grounding its modern character even as a single-storey structure. A rear-sloping roof reinforces this contemporary expression, keeping the silhouette clean and unfussy against Gili Air’s relaxed landscape. 
Daylight filters through generous glass openings throughout the day, keeping the spaces bright and naturally efficient—especially important in an island environment where sunlight is generous and energy is precious. Warm, neutral materials anchor the minimalist palette, while horizontal lighting details highlight the villa’s refined, modern identity.

Ultimately, the villa is designed to offer a distinct kind of living—simple yet thoughtful, modern yet warm. A place that mirrors the quiet charm of Gili Air: easy to enjoy, effortless to settle into, and memorable long after you’ve left.
