Tukad
Huts

Tukad Huts is a collection of one, two, and three-bedroom huts in Kerobokan, the rice-field belt between Seminyak and Canggu. The brief was a familiar Bali problem: modest plots, and a buyer who still wants the villa to feel generous. The answer was the A-frame.

By pitching the roof and glazing the gable end, each hut got a double-height living space full of light, with a mezzanine tucked under the apex. From the outside it reads as a clean, almost archetypal hut. From the inside it feels far larger than the floor area suggests.

The three-bedroom hut went on to win an International Property Award for architecture in 2025. It is the kind of result that comes from solving a real constraint well, rather than chasing a look.

The material list reads like a who's who of Indonesian stone and timber. Palimanan on the feature walls, Bengkirai on the deck, exposed wood panels overhead, Sukabumi tiles giving the pool that deep turquoise. These are local materials, specified because they suit the climate and the setting, not because they were the cheapest option on the day.

Each hut came with a sunken living area, a semi-outdoor bathroom, furniture, and kitchen appliances included. Finished and ready to rent, sitting in its own private garden with a turquoise pool.
