Three dramatic cliffside residences in Suluban, designed around panoramic ocean views, reclaimed materials, and a strong connection to Bali’s tropical climate.
Project Type
Luxury Residential Development
Completion
Cliffside living, open to the ocean.
Set high above the ocean in Suluban, Bali, this statement development brings together three private residences arranged side by side along the cliff. Expansive terraces, infinity pools, and carefully framed views make the dramatic coastal setting central to the experience of each home.
Designed by Kembar & Kembar, Hong Kong, the residences combine contemporary architecture with reclaimed materials, including ironwood roofing and teak flooring. Aerodynamic airflow was incorporated into the design to encourage natural ventilation, creating homes shaped as much by Bali’s tropical climate as by their exceptional cliffside setting.
⸺ Sourcing
We locate heritage properties across Kyoto and rural Japan — machiya, kominka, and former temples whose architectural integrity makes them worth preserving. Each candidate is evaluated for structural soundness, historical character, and restoration potential.
⸺ Design
Our in-house architects assess the structure and develop a sensitive restoration plan. We map what to preserve, what to repair, and where modern systems can be integrated without disturbing the home's character.
⸺ Structural Restoration
Original timber frames, beams, and lattice work are stabilized and refinished by hand. We reinforce where needed using traditional joinery and contemporary techniques — always invisible, always reversible where possible.
⸺ Modern Systems
Plumbing, electrical, insulation, and climate control are introduced behind the scenes. Kitchens, bathrooms, and storage are reimagined for contemporary life, specified in materials that match the home's vocabulary.
⸺ Interior Detailing
Hand-applied plaster, custom joinery, hinoki ofuro, integrated lighting — every visible surface is considered. We source from the same workshops that have supplied Kyoto's machiya for generations.
⸺ Handover
The completed home is documented, photographed, and prepared for its next chapter. We support new owners through purchase, registration, and the early months of living in their restored property.
