Angkul - Angkul, the Balinese traditional entrance gate
In traditional Balinese architecture, there is traditional gate angkul-angkul always seen. Angkul-angkul is the entrance to the yard, gives access to Balinese compounds in many places of the island. The presence of this gate created an experience of special and luxurious atmosphere and as a standard feature for traditional Balinese designed villa.
Nowadays, designs of the villas use the simple of natural material, as the sensation of simplicity has built the luxurious atmosphere. Details of villas have beautifully combined the traditional of local natural materials and modern elements and features.
So, angkul-angkul is a feature not to forget when you build your dream villa in Bali.

Pergola
A pergola is a structure which is designed to provide support for climbing plants, creating a cool and shaded area beneath the pergola which can be used for recreation. Pergolas are sometimes used over patios and porches in warm climates, and they also appear along walkways and as standalone structures in the garden.
It was originally designed to provide a shaded walk way from one place to another, or as a shade on a terrace. A pergola is flat on the top, with trellis on the top for vines to grow.
When we would like to explore more about this structure, we will find such amazing art form on it. Such as the pergola project that I created for my house recently. I used bamboo pole as the roof structure. Cost is so reasonable and it creates luxury and natural effects.
