VILLA NOIR BALI
SEPTEMBER 2021

I wanted to bring my signature black brand to Bali and make a bold, and dramatic statement in villa design. Villa Noir is a further extension of my fascination with black, I was literally in my element.

The design brief called for a single palette, with contrasting surfaces and textures in stone, wood, concrete, and furnishings, all sharing a common identity: black. 

Having visited Bali since the age of ten, I was inspired by the Balinese concept of ‘poleng’ – the black and white check fabric representing contrasting yet inseparable elements, like day and night, hot and cold, good and bad.

Capturing the essence of tropical minimalism, Villa Noir is a bold and unapologetic showcase of its distinct style. The design combined brutalist beauty with a serene ambience, that created an atmosphere with an attitude.
