The traditional homes of Bali
Bali homes are generally made up of several smaller compounds or a small cluster of open plan and open air buildings. These small clusters can contain separate areas for kitchens, bathrooms, sleeping accommodation and everyday living spaces.In the main these constructions are made from wood and timber frames and panels. Often bamboo or similar woods such as those derived from coconut trees are used for internal walls and sectional dividers. Hard wooded floors are common in many traditional homes and can be kept clean and swept free of dust and debris.
Due to the warmer temperatures experiences in this country, many of the floors in Bali villas are elevated or raised from the ground. This ensures that cooling breezes can be allowed to drift into the homes to freshen up the space and to regulate the temperature of the structures of the house so as to prevent it from becoming too hot.
Thanks to the regular tropical showers that occur on a regular basis in Bali, the roof spaces usually contain deep overhanging eaves to quickly drain away rain water and keep the buildings dry. Many modern Bali villas have roofs made from terracotta.
