Imagine a villa resort estate in the ever-popular Seminyak vicinity with such extraordinary pitched roof designs that at some point they almost extend right down to the ground. Made from natural ironwood shingles and in shapes of exaggerated triangular proportions that mimics a real sail, the villa resort reaches the maximum level of aesthetic impression that is both unique and original. This villa resort is known as The Layar.
The Layar, that means sail in Indonesian, is truly the main inspiration for renowned GM architects who built and designed this villa resort. As an archipelago, almost all-Indonesian culture has sailing boats as part of their transportation means. GM architects took this inspiration of the sail shape and created a stunning original look for The Layar. Comprising of 23 villas that each have their own garden, pool and Jacuzzi; The Layar shows the usage of an avantgarde concept.
