Above pictures are one of our portfolio called Villa Cascara. This beautiful villa was built near Ubud, in the middle of the rice fields with a view towards the jungle.

We designed a space with a mixture of Balinese and contemporary European features. It has 4 bedrooms with en-suite bathroom, an outdoor chill-out patio, open air kitchen and dining pavilion.

There is also a huge swimming pool and a fully open 2 level bamboo house in the tropical garden. Seem interesting right?
