The same architects that constructed the luxurious Four Seasons Resort at Bali's Jimbaran Bay were successfully contracted to create another fabulous 'East meets West' setting. The design objective was to create a private residence made up of several pavilions for the owner and his many guests - set upon a sloping crest and bounded by the Pangi River, the rich tropical gardens consist of a lush variety of tropical trees, palms and fragrant flowers including a variety of other colorful plant life.

The main living pavilion is built in the Grand Bali style with a traditional thatched-roof ceiling. An ambience of simplicity and style has been effectively created using such materials as native teakwood and local stone. The décor balances subtle hues with contrasts of wood, terracotta and traditional woven textiles. Overall, the selected artworks and artifacts throughout the compound have been effectively fused into the airy, open-planned structures to produce an idyllic tropical retreat, which is totally modern.

The library/study pavilion offers an air-conditioned alternative to the main living area. However, the walls and sliding glass doors can be folded back to enjoy the tranquility of the lotus pond in which it 'floats'. It features another cushioned sitting area for relaxed reading or television viewing. Access to the air-conditioned dining pavilion is through a set of antique carved-teakwood doors.

The surrounding wooden and glass walls inside the elevated structure can also be folded back to relish in 'al fresco' dining, as well as the gentle setting of the gardens and river below it. The dining table seats 8 in comfort and the adjacent European-style kitchen is fully equipped with modern equipment. The kitchen also includes a comprehensive local and European style menu.

The fully air-conditioned master suite consists of a large four-poster bed, walk-through dressing room and an over-sized en-suite bathroom - complete with a bathtub for two which overlooks an outside exercise deck and private tropical garden. The two separate guest pavilions are similar in features with air-conditioning and fully equipped indoor/outdoor Balinese style bathrooms with al fresco style tubs and showers.

Water is another principal design element within the grounds of Pangi Gita. The upper gardens have several still and running water features throughout Koi fish lotus ponds. The lower grounds have an 'infinity-edge' swimming pool and a gentle flowing river with its soft rolling rapids, delivering tranquil aquatic sounds to both the master and guest pavilions. The swimming pool and shaded bale areas offer outstanding backdrop vistas of the adjacent tiered rice fields beyond the river.
