VILLA BOË – ALEXIS DORNIER MAKINGS AT TAMPAH HILLS, LOMBOK
Villa Boë is positioned at the top of Tampah Hills, on one of the highest and steepest lots of the development. The terrain itself informed much of the design— its steepness encouraged a vertical stacking of functions and created the opportunity to build something that feels more like land art than a traditional house.
The structure unfolds over several levels, adapting to the contours of the hillside. At the base, the garage and main entrance are tucked in. From there, the house opens up to the communal areas— kitchen, living, dining— all connected by a series of steps and platforms that lead further up to the more private quarters: two distinct sleeping wings, each designed for a family. At the very top, a circular yoga and contemplation platform looks out over the surrounding hills and ocean— a quiet place to pause and take in the horizon.
The floor plan is built around a system of concentric circles and radial segments, all oriented around the natural hilltop. This geometry defines how the roofs open up and how the various volumes are positioned in relation to each other.
