A collection of one- to four-bedroom luxury villas in Seminyak, designed around dramatic roof forms, private pools, and Bali’s open-air way of living.
Project Type
Luxury Villa Development
Completion
Tropical living, under one roof.
Set in Seminyak, Bali, The Layar brings together a collection of private one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom villas designed for relaxed tropical living. Each residence is organized around its own pool and landscaped outdoor spaces, creating a strong connection between the interiors, gardens, and Bali’s warm climate.
Sweeping pitched roofs define the architecture, extending over bedrooms and generous open living spaces while creating shade and natural ventilation. Warm timber, clean contemporary finishes, and indoor-outdoor entertaining areas give the villas a distinctive character that balances the privacy of an individual residence with the experience of a luxury resort.
⸺ 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.
