The House

    Ritual as Atmosphere

    A bathhouse, two pools, a listening room and a living arcade, the life of the house beyond the suite.

    A bright promenade without. Shadow, tension, intimacy within.

    The eye adjusts slowly. The space reveals itself slowly. Arrival at The Ubud is a threshold, from the heat and light of Jl. Monkey Forest into a shadowed salon.

    I — The Bathhouse

    165 square metres of ritual.

    Four ritual rooms built around heat, cold, oil and quiet, with a central brazier and ritual beds. A bathhouse at commercial scale, open to guests of the house and to Ubud itself.

    165 square metres of ritual.

    II — The Pools

    Two pools, and nowhere to be.

    Two large pools anchor the gardens, framed by palms, daybeds and the slow traffic of the house. The suites front the water; the water sets the pace.

    Two pools, and nowhere to be.

    III — In-Between

    Tropical planting frames every opening.

    Between the buildings, wrought iron, vines and lanterns. Long promenades under flowering vine, and one unexpected object around every corner.

    Tropical planting frames every opening.

    The Arcade

    Six units. One living ground floor.

    The only premium property on Jl. Monkey Forest with a living, breathing arcade at street level, shops and salons that draw the promenade in.

    Unexpected Gifts at The Ubud arcade, Jl. Monkey Forest, Ubud

    Unexpected Gifts

    Curated objects. Nothing you need, everything you want.

    To slow down, to feel, to observe. And to leave changed, however subtly.
