Bali Houses

Bali Houses - New Wave Asian Architecture and Design
Thousands of foreigners, many of whom are engaged in some kind of artistic activity, have made Bali their home. No longer in search of the utopian idyll as were earlier travellers, such people create a craft studio, import-export bsines, open an artisanal workshop, and join the dream-home building boom. Feeding off the innate creativity of the Balinese and bringing new technologies and ideas from outside, they design, reinteprete and rework the much touted concept of 'Bali syle'.
