Curved walls coated in textured, terracotta<\/a>-toned plaster wrap this circular<\/a> home in Indonesia<\/a>, designed by local architecture practice Caceres + Tous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Named House Kala, the dwelling is set atop a hill on the Indonesian island of Lombok, on a site with almost 360-degree views of the sea and surrounding forest.<\/p>\n

To maximise views from the site, Caceres + Tous<\/a> created a circular home raised on a stone plinth, contrasting an exposed facade of full-height glass doors with a secluded inner patio wrapped by curving walls.<\/p>\n

The reddish-brown plaster used to coat these walls was created to mimic the tone of the soil in Lombok, where clay bricks are used in many vernacular buildings.<\/p>\n

“The core concept was to create a private refuge for the owner on a site with 360-degree exposure,” Caceres + Tous co-founder Nico Caceres told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“The circular form given by the land position creates an outward-facing open shape while maintaining an enclosed, private patio at its centre,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“While the outer perimeter opens to the views and follows the sun throughout the day, the internal patio acts as a sanctuary, enclosed by a screen that provides the main circulation.”<\/p>\n

The spaces of House Kala were organised based on the expansive views, with a large, semicircular living, dining and kitchen space positioned in the most exposed area overlooking the sea and sunset to the southwest.<\/p>\n

Glass doors framed by chunky terracotta-toned columns allow this space to open out onto a terrace with both a decorative shallow infinity pool and a swimming pool.<\/p>\n
