The Waterfall Residence is a thoughtfully designed multi-generational home that balances togetherness and privacy. Inspired by the graceful flow of a waterfall, it features layered shared and secluded spaces across multiple levels, supporting both strong family connections and personal retreat.

Its southwest-facing facade maximizes natural light and airflow, with large windows framing scenic views, while stone finishes and sunshades control heat. A striking man-made waterfall cascades down double-height walls, symbolizing generational wisdom and creating a calming atmosphere through sound and natural cooling.

Balinese-inspired materials such as volcanic stone, local wood, and lush vegetation bring warmth to the modern aesthetic. Sustainability is integrated through low-energy windows and skylights that reduce energy use. More than a home, the residence fosters deep family bonds and preserves its legacy for generations to come.
