Modern Villa Sapi in Lombok Island Indonesia

This modern villa sapi is a beautiful rental villa designed by Canadian architect David Lombardi on Lombok Island in Indonesia. The “Function over Form” villa’s concept leaves Villa Sapi’s guests with a sense of discovery and surprise at every twist and turn, ranging from the traditionally styled, grass-roofed building that houses the main kitchen to a futuristic home theatre.

Furnishings carry a signature colour theme of black, red and lime green, while the walls are adorned with flair – bamboo, water cascades and conceptual artwork. The first clue to the quirky nature of the artwork is a white sculpture in the coconut grove garden which, in huge black letters, suggests that we should ‘Stop Making Sense’.

The view from the villa’s open-sided living and dining room, bedrooms and bathrooms is unrivalled; here guests can look forward to a vista that is ever-changing with the moods of the sea, sky, neighbouring islands, distant mountains, forests and colourful fishing boats. At night, after a magnificent sunset, the views become even more magical as the moon’s reflection twinkles on the water, presenting a scene of tranquillity and unforgettable beauty.

Although contemporary in architectural style and amenities, Villa Sapi has included some traditional elements such as the various bales set around the estate. The use of wood like Ulin (iron wood) for the roof, batu chandi (lava stone), paras (sand stone), coconut and bamboos, all reflect Lombardi’s unique vision and his commitment to the use of local. materials. Environmental issues have also been addressed with the use of solar water heaters, and solar lighting. Rainwater is collected from the building structure and recycled.
