In this issue:
Bali, and for that matter the whole of Indonesia, is perhaps the very heart of creative tropical living design. The mere mention of ‘Bali’ evokes thoughts of paradise, it’s more than a place it’s a mood, an aspiration, a tropical state of mind eloquently reflected in its architecture. 
Today, the contemporary Balinese style is known as one of the most recognised approaches to tropical architecture, much owed to the growth of the tourism industry that has created a demand for Balinese-style houses, villas and hotels.
Contemporary Balinese architecture combines traditional aesthetic principles, the island’s abundance of natural materials, famous artistry and craftsmanship of its people, all of which makes Bali the ideal place to see just what is possible.
