00:00Finally the house is completed so I'm going to welcome you now
00:03to have a first look at the BIA Design House. Come on in.
00:10BIA Design House is the work of architect Sylvia Furman and interior designer Annie Chi.
00:19The first place I want to show you is the living room. We kept a lot of the things that
00:23we had for
00:24our home. We didn't do a lot of changes. We kept the table. We recovered the sofa. These ones
00:30actually were from Anada. They created this for me. The whole color scheme came about these paintings
00:37and we love the color of the sands so we decided to create the back color. From there the whole
00:43color palette came came about. Also I've had this this lamp from Onsen Kwan for a while. Such a
00:49beautiful piece so sculptural it brings this other kind of element to the room and we love it.
00:54So we decided to keep it.
01:02The kitchen was... I definitely wanted to change it. I love the kitchen that we had before but it
01:07was outdated. The tables were not very good so we decided to go and change them for marble. This
01:13marble that I see at the backsplash, I went to this marble shop and I saw it and I was
01:18like oh my god
01:19I have to have this. It's the most beautiful marble I've ever seen. The textures, the colors,
01:23you can touch it. It feels like kind of like leathery and wood at the same time. And they
01:28only had one piece so I said please keep it for me.
01:34And then we moved to the dining area. So actually we kept the same dining table that I had before.
01:40The only thing that I did was to renew the chairs with a classic model but this time turning into
01:45a
01:46black colored chair and I think we really love how it looks.
01:55So all the broom furniture, we got it made by Anada. I sent them all the designs and I have
02:04to say
02:05they were amazing.
02:09This actually was going to be the bedside table because we wanted to make it a little bit different.
02:15So then I put the bedside table here. I'm so happy with the mirrors as well.
02:19They've done such an amazing job. Everything that Ani designed, they did perfectly to a tee.
02:27We have this painting that is from House Le Mans. So this is the bathroom of the Oracle room which
02:36is
02:36kind of the Balinese room and I really wanted this antique look for the tableware. So we chose to have
02:43Paloma here on the shower, on the sink and also on the bathtub and on the accessories and I think
02:49it's
02:49really solidifies that kind of antique, all Balinese style.
03:01The outside area we definitely wanted to have some sunbeds. I asked Anada to help me do the
03:08the scallop metal work. The cushions were done by DC Habitat and which are really good for
03:16for the outdoors and if they keep the color and the shape for many many years.
03:29So at the A Design House we also have a spa and this spa is just to you know to
03:36feel like you're
03:37a cocoon to make you feel soft and warm. After you have your massage you can have a cup of
03:44tea and relax
03:46before you go back to your room.
03:55So this is the smaller one of all of the rooms which is the portal room. Actually I really really
04:01love
04:01this room even though it's small it's very very cozy. Obviously we have the Anada furniture, the bedside
04:10tables, the chair and the desk as well as the mirror on the wall. This chair is by Hattie Hon.
04:17We had a mission that every person that will stay at the BI Design House will have the best night
04:22of sleep. So we decided to get organic latex mattresses which are done by Hebea.
04:35So let me take you to the three rooms upstairs.
04:42So BI Design House is a place for art, creativity and connection and a lot of the artworks that we
04:50have
04:50here have it's only the story. So for example this artwork here is by a Dutch friend Bismet and he
04:59used to
04:59live here in Bali with his wife and his children and actually they were very very good friends of ours.
05:06And I commissioned this painting to him and I gave it to my husband as a present and now I'm
05:12Sia.
05:18This used to be our home so actually this room and that room were actually my children's rooms so
05:25we kept the names of the rooms for our children so this is the Phoenix room.
05:33Here I wanted to be really grounded and feel like a place of renovation and renewal. We chose this
05:41wallpaper from Hummingbird. This one was designed first so we needed to do this headboard first
05:48and then we looked through the catalogs until we found a wallpaper that matched the colour.
05:54This artwork by this artist called Athena. She's Bali based and when I saw it I absolutely love it and
06:03I think it's some people find it creepy which is funny because it never gave me that impression but for
06:09me
06:10I just love the mix of materials of the paints and also the hand stitching. I just absolutely loved it
06:16and
06:16we found the perfect place. I got this piece of artwork from Michael Jewell which I absolutely love
06:23and then Anada did an amazing job with this kind of sofa that it has that wave pattern and it
06:31looks
06:32absolutely fantastic in this room. We love it.
06:43This is the Luna room and this is the most playful and kind of girly room. You know I am
06:49girly but not
06:50so girly. I had this shade from Lumiere shades actually that the owner had given to me a while back
06:56and I thought this would be such a great statement piece in this room. It's a piece of artwork from
07:01the medium and it was I found this artwork and I absolutely loved it and it had that masculinity
07:08that I needed to balance the feminine in this room.
07:15The wave and undulation motif continues in this room. I asked Anada if they could make me this headboard
07:22which is was the undulation with like a very traditional rattan that you can find in Bali and
07:28I absolutely love how it ended up looking and as well as that we decided to do a desk with
07:33the same
07:34undulation to continue the pattern also from Anada. And this chair is by Hattie Holm as well which is
07:41absolutely beautiful it's such beautiful quality absolutely adore it. I have a painting by Ricky Lee
07:47Gordon who has he's an artist by the base who also has the art gallery called Sun Contemporary.
08:02So this is the master and in this room we wanted to create also a feel of like it's such
08:09a big room we
08:10decided to to use Altarize again and we use Altarize for all the the lime wash color in each wall
08:17and I
08:18love this color I think it looks amazing on it. We use this woven rattan wallpaper and we also added
08:27this brass mirror to to bring light and bring the outside back into the room. This is the master
08:34bathroom of the master room we really want to show how beautiful it is and also how beautiful the view
08:40that you get. So the sun room has its own balcony which is pretty special it overlooks all these beautiful
08:47rice fields and it's just like another extra extra space that you have to yourself to have some
08:52privacy and some moments of meditation. After we did the renovation we really felt like we needed a
09:04space here in the cordia just to accentuate it and really make it a usable space. When I met CV
09:09Designs
09:10I went to their showroom they showed me all the sofas and I absolutely fell in love with this set.
09:15I asked them and they brought it here and once we put it in it just looked absolutely beautiful
09:21and perfect and I'm so happy we got the chance to have their designs.
09:30So the final room is the art room and it's really the heart and soul of this house. This is
09:36where we do
09:36all the workshops and we can really get creative and we found the most amazing table by Endicraft
09:43which is beautiful and really extend to have at least 10 people sitting absolutely comfortable.
09:49So we're super happy to have this beautiful piece of furniture on this space.
09:56This is where we are.
10:02Thank you so much.
