"Pablo Luna Studio's newly completed Belalu Dome Villa rises among the lush landscape of Bali with a dramatically curving roof structure. Conceived as part of Belalu Bali Boutique & Spa Experience, the villa reflects the retreat's vision of combining ecological awareness with contemporary comfort. Its dome form symbolizes the architects' ideas of unity, continuity, and gentle protection, and harmonizes with the layered greenery that defines the Indonesian island's terrain."
"The architecture favors organic expression over linear composition. Arched bamboo frames spring directly from the ground, joining above in a continuous sweep that shapes both roof and wall. Without straight columns or visible separations, the form reads as one fluid gesture to lend curved, fluid interiors. The structure appears to breathe with its setting, light shifting through woven bamboo as air moves across its surface."
"Inside Pablo Luna Studio's Belalu Dome Villa, three interconnected spaces unfold. The central bedroom opens toward a semi-open bathroom and private garden, where textured limestone walls and ulin wood finishes bring tactile richness. The floor, wall, and ceiling each transition into the next without sharp distinction. This creates a softening of spatial boundaries, linking occupants to their surroundings. The layout extends toward an indoor jacuzzi that opens onto the living area, maintaining a consistent sense of continuity."
