Bandido Bali - La Lourdes & La Matilde Villas / Javi Diaz

The Project - The project consists of two houses that are part of the Bandido Bali complex. "We wanted to create a unique experience of design, communication, culture, and architecture." I believe that today, we live, work, and even have fun in squared, dull, rigid boxes with little connection to nature. The main mission of the architectural project was to create an alternative and break away from the conventional box of our daily life. To explore a different way of living, break paradigms, and make architecture the means that inspires and evokes that way of living. I wanted to create a place where tradition and contemporary had no boundaries, where both the interior and exterior could merge, where humans and nature could integrate, and where bamboo and cement could dance in unison. The houses ended up being transformed into a sensory, emotional, and visual showcase inspired by Bali.
