Landscape is more than a visual backdrop—it is a living system that shapes how we breathe, move, heal, and connect with nature. The embracing a holistic approach inspired by Balinese permaculture wisdom and the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, called Palemahan

​​

Balinese culture deeply intertwines art, food, medicine, and architecture with the surrounding landscape. From herbs used in traditional usada Bali healing practices to fruit trees that nourish daily life, nature has always been an essential partner in living. This philosophy becomes the foundation of the landscape, where productive plants, herbal gardens, and fruit-bearing trees are integrated seamlessly into everyday spaces.

 

Spatial planning responds carefully to sun orientation and daily activities. Fruit and herbal plantations are placed in zones with gentler sunlight to support healthy growth, while aromatic plants are positioned near living areas to enhance sensory comfort and ease of maintenance. Entrance areas are marked by culturally significant frangipani trees, complemented by fruit trees such as mango or rambutan—offering shade, fragrance, and a welcoming tropical gesture.

​

 

Water plays a vital role in shaping the sensory experience. Pools and ponds are introduced as natural sound buffers against surrounding noise, inspired by the sacred atmosphere of Tirta Empul, where water is both spiritual and grounding. Combined with natural materials like stone, pebbles, and timber decking, the landscape becomes active, tactile, and alive.

​

 

Ultimately, this landscape is designed not as an ornament, but as a living extension of the home—productive, functional, and deeply connected to Balinese cultural roots. It reflects a way of living where humans and nature grow together in balance, reminding us that landscape is not just what we see beyond a window, but what sustains life itself.
