The ‘Rumah Legian’ follows the traditional layout of a Balinese home with a gatehouse entrance and spacious courtyard with water features. The gatehouse with its thatched roof and traditional columns is a hint of what is to come. All the columns in the house follow the Balinese format of wide base, narrow middle section and wide upper sections which is said to represent the human form.
The relaxed open-air living and natural style of a Balinese pavilion enchanted the builder of this home to replicate the style. As quoted by the coveted Homes & Living 1999 Yearbook, in which this property featured , it took Peter from Edmonds Fine Homes three to four months to research & design the home, then another 10 months to source the material. In the end I went to the architects who designed The Bali Four Seasons Resort, Grounds Kent, to finalise the plans. They had already done a lot of the research and were able to solve some of the challenges straight away Peter was quoted in the magazine.
Open the front door and you look through the length of the house to the canal beyond. This lot is 8.9m longer than the lots to the left, allowing for almost 44m of depth and expansive canal views and large entertaining space.
Cool stone-like ceramic tiles, an abundance of cedar, distressed paintwork and suede finishes on the walls contribute to the established Bali feeling of the house.
The living area has a feature chimney made from Margaret River natural stones, a very high thatched roof ceiling and bifold doors which can be folded away in summer to create an open pavilion and is set down from the dining room and kitchen area. There is also a study or privacy room on the ground level.
This is exactly the pavilion type feeling the builder was looking for. The thatch installation took time, effort & precision and was a real challenge from the onset. Installed on a tin roof the thatch was used as a lining and for effect and the method of installing it was completely different.
The main bedroom and en suite downstairs with canal view was inspired by the Bali Four Seasons Resort, not your standard luxurious en suite- the bedroom and en suite are wrapped around a tropical courtyard garden complete with outdoor shower, and has feature doors opening out to the canal. High walls & plants ensure privacy. It looks like a 5-star hotel, coming home is like going on holiday, a relaxed lifestyle so many people want. The bathroom is open to the bedroom, featuring separate toilet, long shower, double basin, and a gorgeous free-standing bath.
The kitchen has Smeg Appliances (5 plate gas top) and boasts canal views whilst you are cooking. The dining area also has a view of the canals. This house is set back allowing great space to the canal wall, further widening the distance from homes across the already very wide canal.. The 3×3 Bali Hut with hammock is just an absolute stunning setting on this canal front.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms, a bathroom and a bar/kitchenette area with basin that would be perfect for summer entertaining. As you land up the stairs you are greeted by a large relaxing lounge or reading area, or even games room, with Bifold sliding windows that fold away turning the room into a large veranda that is open to summer breezes on both sides, and glorious canal views. Being on the second storey means there are extensive views of canal and surrounding areas. The bathroom servicing upstairs is a wonder of natural light and canal views, almost enveloped by the glass windows.
This home involved hard working designing and finishing, and has a lot to love with its innovations, from the material sourced to installing the Bali style finishes.
One bedroom even has its own Juliette balcony with magnificent canal vies.
The bar area has bifold sliding windows that can be folded away leaving the area open like a veranda.
