Bambu Indah resort offers undiscovered antique charm amongst an otherworldly jungle context

An inventive bamboo villa in the heart of Bali. Designer Elora Hardy returns home to the Indonesian jungle to create a fantastical structure shaped by nature and sustainability.

Neither David Hornblow nor his daughter, Amelia, ever envisioned owning a house on Bali, much less a bamboo aerie perched precipitously above a river. The family’s jungle adventure began some three years ago, when, on vacation, they paid a visit to Green Village, a planned community of bamboo residences just outside the ancient inland town of Ubud.
