棲居美學2 珠寶設計師 Alex Hossick 的叢林天堂 | 天堂一瞥 S4 EP2 | 巴厘島室內設計

Hi, Bali Interiors. My name is Alex. And I'm Justin. And this is Piku. Come take a peek in our paradise. It's always been a dream to design and build my own home. And when I started looking for land around this area and other areas, a friend showed me this land. I think that was really the moment where I said, OK, I think I found my piece of land. Let's show you the house. Let's check out my favorite spot, the kitchen. So this is one of my favorite spots in the house. Nice and open. Good breeze flowing through when you're cooking. Go down to the edible garden. Pick out some things from the garden. Come up here, chop it up, pop it in the pan. So this was a key feature. And I love the texture and how it has this dark patina. I felt like it complemented not only the wood, but these terracotta old house toppers. I also coupled it with some petrified wood plates, which were actually the very first thing I bought when I moved to Bali years ago. We really wanted to maximize the view because we have a lot of green over here as well as over here. So this is our kitchen, dining room, table. And so from here, we have not only our food, but coffee, tea in the morning and get to appreciate the view. And this is one of the favorite features of the house because it's made out of ironwood from an old ship. So I love the different details and how thick it is. Then we come into the living room. One of the favorite features of the house are these antique house toppers from Java in Bali. People actually adorn their houses with these pieces, but I had a friend turn them into lampshades because I thought it would add a really interesting detail and complement the open roof as well. I just found a few key pieces of antiques. So this couch is very simple, but it's with the same ironwood as the kitchen table. And let me show you our bedroom. So this is our bedroom. We wanted to keep it pretty clean, simple and really focus on, again, the views, but also add a level of softness. So we have these soft curtains as well as this overhang just to give it a little bit more of a warm feel. This is another piece that I found, but then I also had the team adjust it a little bit as well. We have the dresser, which is actually made, again, from antique doors. You also see the little terracotta lamps. These were actually just sculptures that happened to be hollow inside, so we were able to turn them into lampshades. And this is actually my favorite door in the whole house. Again, it's the same ironwood that you saw on the kitchen table and the sofa, but I love these different shapes. So I noticed they started to fill some of the holes, and I was like, I'll play around with some of the shapes. So I love that they were able to do this with this empty piece here. So let me show you the bathroom. So this is the master bathroom. I wanted to have this bathroom be a little bit of indoor-outdoor. So when you come in, you can see there's an opening, so you can see a little bit of the flowers and a little bit of the stonework. And this sink, I also got custom-made, same as the kitchen sink, and they did a beautiful job. So it's all hand-hammered. And same with the fixtures. I wanted to maintain the brass look throughout the house, so. This is probably my favorite cabinet door because it has some barnacles in it. So they laid out all of the planks of wood at their workshop, and I came and I selected which pieces I wanted for the cabinets, and I made sure that they didn't cut away at these barnacles because I think that's really special. And let me show you downstairs. And this is our second bedroom, but this is actually what we utilize for our studio. So from here, because I work in jewelry, this is my workbench, and this is actually a custom couch I designed. So this can pull out to be a king-size bed, and it's actually two mattresses on top of the other, so. And a desk and door for working on the laptop. So every day looks a little bit different, but right now I'm working on finishing up a number of different projects, some in the wax stage and some in the more finalized stage. And a few antique pieces that I found that I absolutely love. And then also if you notice, all of the curtain rods are actually made of liana wood, which is a vine. So I thought they would be really interesting as curtain rods. And over here, like I said, is another sitting area or space to just hang out or work. And then over here is the edible garden. So we get a lot of our basil, tomatoes, lemongrass, etc. from over there, which we're pretty excited about. And there's also another area down here for sitting and relaxing. And soon there'll be a whole wall of dragon fruit and passion fruit if you look way down there. So the land originally was quite sloped and had a lot of different levels. So in order to work with that, we had to get these pretty big retaining walls made. So they're very sturdy and I actually love having the river stone detail. I think it's a beautiful feature and I don't know if you can hear it, but there's a small little river and waterfall down below that leads into a slightly bigger river out in the, what I like to call the ravine. And let me show you the pool. So when designing the pool, I personally never really swim laps in a pool anymore. So I really just like a plunge pool, somewhere where you can hang out, relax, take a dip, cool off. We actually found these onyx stones, which I love and think it turned out nice. Thanks Ballet Interiors for taking a peek in our paradise. See you later. by bwd6
