Abstract

This study explores the fusion of Balinese and modern architecture in tropical villa design, addressing the growing demand for comfortable, aesthetic, and sustainable living. Balinese architecture, rooted in cultural and spiritual principles such as Tri Hita Karana, Tri Mandala, and Sanga Mandala, emphasizes harmony with nature. In contrast, modern architecture contributes functional efficiency, minimalism, and the use of contemporary materials and technology. Using a qualitative case study of villas in Bali, the research examines the characteristics, challenges, and impacts of combining these styles. The findings reveal that this integration can create tropical homes that are both comfortable and culturally expressive. The study offers recommendations for balancing cultural values and modern innovation in future tropical villa design.

Abstract

This research explores tropical villa design approaches in Bali, focusing on space efficiency, thermal comfort, and the application of local wisdom within Indonesia’s tropical climate. Between 2020 and 2025, the growth of tourism and property industries in Bali has significantly increased, often leading to villa designs that overlook local sustainability principles. This study uses a qualitative approach through case studies and literature review of tropical villas that successfully integrate these principles. Data was collected through field observations, interviews, and document analysis. The findings show that design approaches emphasizing space efficiency, local materials, and Balinese architectural elements can enhance thermal comfort while reinforcing local identity in tropical villa design.
