经过精细雕刻的木材、僻静的庭院和鸡蛋花，无不彰显着天堂般的印度尼西亚室内的东方优雅。这些巴厘岛住宅面向绚丽的绿色景观、雄伟的山脉或美丽的海岸线，散发着轻松、沉思的气息。本书伴随大量令人印象深刻的图片，让你沐浴在巴厘岛的风光里。
在一个没有围墙的世界里
与自然和谐相处的巴厘岛式住宅
巴厘岛因其郁郁葱葱的热带风光和富有魅力的居民而受到旅行者的喜爱，是地球上最宏伟的地方之一。精神和自然是巴厘岛人日常生活的组成部分，所以人们很容易理解为什么岛上的传统建筑有一种平和的存在，仿佛与周围的环境融为一体。
说到巴厘岛的房子，墙壁不是必须的，木材随处可见，大地色系占主导地位，茅草屋顶比比皆是。这里的房屋面向绚丽的绿色景观、雄伟的山脉或美丽的海岸线，散发着轻松、沉思的气息。这本东南亚生活的作品集以新鲜和鼓舞人心的照片为特色，体积小巧，无论你走到哪里都可以带着它。
看着这些简单优雅的奢华生活，我不禁想知道，为什么没有更多的人涌向巴厘岛。
