Architect Alexis Dornier has completed ‘The River House’, a modern home in Pererenan, Bali, that uses reclaimed timber and locally sourced sandstone throughout its design.
The side and front elevations of the house are clad in a wood lattice, changing the scale of the arrangement into a more abstract object, rather than a traditional home with windows.
