         ART FOR LIFE'S SAKE: 
            THE VISION OF POPO DANES 
            ARCHITECT, BALI, INDONESIA
          As Architects today, we not only design shelter and structure but 
            develop design based on understanding living preferences. In that 
            sense, we are lifestyle designers. We take into consideration the 
            evolving, dynamic nature of modern lifestyles that are far from static. 
            It is also critical for us to appreciate the universal need for a 
            sense of place, space and living experience. Our projects are created 
            and evolve from original, unique ingredients so that the experience 
            they lend our clients – of a better, more colourful and vibrant life 
            – is also unique. Based on these reflections, we are delighted to 
            design Baale Private Villas & Spa at Arpora, Goa which allows 
            us a fusion of design elements and a unique blend of architecture, 
            lifestyle, and pleasure. More importantly, it brings together the 
            best, collective design and living experience from all other influences 
            around us – to the Goan experience we are now creating. We are very 
            happy to deliver this design for Baale Private Villas & Spa at Arpora 
            to let every soul celebrate their life in the most vivid and creative 
            manner, inspired by the uplifting architectural philosophy of the 
            property.  |

         TAKING THE INDOORS OUTSIDE 
            BRINGING THE OUTDOORS WITHIN 
            INTERIORS, G.A. DESIGN, U.K
          Baale Private Villas & Spa is situated in truly unique natural 
            surroundings in Goa. G.A Design's intent is to harmonize the boundaries 
            of the built interior with this natural exterior form. By taking reference 
            from Balinese culture, the design of each residence will be accented 
            with careful use of natural materials and sympathetic architectural 
            design. Sourced from Bali, the natural Paras Jogja stone floors are 
            inset with teak detailing. Entire walls will open up allowing the 
            outside-in which gives inhabitants the optimum advantage of using 
            the property's entire footprint. Natural stone floor will flow out 
            from the internal areas, across the terraces and integrate into the 
            landscape beyond, further bonding the living spaces together. This 
            exclusive community of luxury villas at Baale Private Villas & 
            Spa at Arpora is set to be the most unique and desirable in Goa.  |
