By Green Home Finance 21 October 2019 No Comments

Text description provided by the architects. Sharma Springs was designed for the Sharma family as a jungle fantasy escape.
It is a 6-level, 4-bedroom 750sqm home overlooking the Ayung river valley, built almost entirely of bamboo.
The entry to the house is via a dramatic tunnel-bridge that brings you directly to the open-air living, dining, and kitchen spaces on the 4th level.

The 6th-floor lookout is a front-row seat to the amazing sunset views over the Ayung river valley and Green Village.
