Stunning Villa in Bali Features A Unique Roof

The Carbon House is a modern villa with a tropical and very interesting design, located in Kecamatan Kuta Selatan, a sub-district in Bali, Indonesia. It was designed and built by Alexis Dornier in 2019 and it uses the surroundings and natural landscape in its favor. A key detail in the overall design of the house is the roof which features a unique structure. It sits flat over the interior spaces, extending to form overhangs. On one side it seems to seamlessly transition into a huge triangular panel that hovers a section of the patio and pool area.
