Why Bali Home Designs

Centuries of craft. None of the risk.

You picture an open-air teak villa: light through carved screens, a deck that opens to the trees, timber that warms with age. That comes from a craft passed down for generations, long before the word "prefab" existed. Our carvers and joiners cut every joint by hand, in techniques refined on this island for centuries.

What usually stands between you and that villa is shipping, customs, contractors and risk, especially when you've never set foot in the workshop building it.

We take that off your hands. Your villa is hand-built in our Bali workshop, finished and photographed, then packed into a container and delivered to your site ready to raise. We've spent a decade learning how to carry that craft off the island intact, so you deal with one team from drawing to doorstep.

Turnkey delivery

Designed, built, shipped and finished. We handle the freight, the documents and the assembly support.

Transparent pricing

A clear delivered price for our standard models. Custom designs get an accurate estimate once your design is set, before you're asked to commit to anything.

Ten years of export craft

Dozens of containers shipped from Bali to Central America. We know the route and the rules.

The craft

Old-growth teak. Joinery cut by hand.

We build in teak, reclaimed iron wood and benkirai, the hardwoods that have stood up to the tropics for centuries. No shortcuts, no veneers.

The process

From our workshop to your site in six to eight months.

A clear path, with one team beside you the whole way.

01

Design & quote

For our standard models, we give you a fixed, transparent delivered or turn-key price right away. For a custom design, we shape it around your site and budget first, then confirm an accurate price once the design is set.

02

Built in Bali

Material is sourced, KILN dried and your hardwood villa is fully prefabricated in our workshop, then photographed for your approval.

03

Packed & shipped

We pack, document and ship the complete villa by sea, and clear it through to your nearest port.

04

Raised on site

Your local crew raises it with our drawings and support. In Costa Rica & Panama we build turn-key. What was drawn in Bali stands on your land.

The catalogue

See our standard designs, with plans and pricing.

Our catalogue covers our standard villa models, with floor plans, materials and honest delivered pricing for each. Looking for something fully custom? We design around your site and brief instead — tell us where to send the catalogue, and we'll help you figure out which path fits.

In their words
Everything was designed and built in Bali, shipped to Costa Rica, and reassembled on site. The quality of the teak craftsmanship and the hand-carved details are exactly what I was hoping for.
