"Perched dramatically atop one of Lombok's highest slopes, Villa Boë by Alexis Dornier is a topographical marvel. Spanning over 12,390 square feet, the villa doesn't just sit on the steep hillside - it emerges from it, blending architecture, landscape, and art. At Tampah Hills - a community known for its commitment to sustainable luxury - Villa Boë feels like a natural extension of the landscape rather than an intrusion upon it."
"Steep and raw, the terrain required ingenuity and sensitivity, resulting in Dornier creating a layered design that works with the contours of the hillside. At the base, a discreet garage and entrance are carved into the land. Moving upward, the spaces unfold with open living, dining, and kitchen areas connected by a series of steps and platforms. The private quarters are divided into two wings, each designed for a family, ensuring privacy without isolation."
"Villa Boë's floor plan mirrors the site with a system of concentric circles and radial lines defining how the roofs open up and how spaces work together. The approach gives the home a sense of flow - instead of a stack of rooms, it becomes a continuous unveiling, almost like a piece of art that slowly reveals itself. The roofs fan out allowing the oceanside rooms to enjoy more natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows."
Villa Boë occupies a steep hillside in Lombok and emerges from the terrain, blending architecture, landscape, and art across 12,390 square feet. The design responds to raw contours with a layered plan: a discreet garage carved into the base, open living areas linked by steps and platforms, and private quarters split into two family wings. A circular yoga and contemplation pavilion crowns the villa with views of hills and ocean. Concentric circles and radial lines organize roofs and spaces, fanned roofs and floor-to-ceiling windows increase natural light, roof cutouts create sunlit patios, and an integrated pool weaves through terraces and gardens. Material restraint sustains the villa's cohesive aesthetic.
