Tropical Houses

"The Villa Agnes (Croissant Villa), built originally for a French friend, resembles an Australian bungalow, with everything under one roof. Verandahs extend around the perimeter, raised do that occupants can gaze out though the tropical foliage to the ravine beyond."

The Tropical Asian House

"The house is part 'haute Balinaise interiors', part 'queenlander' architecture, part wantilan mountain retreat, part classic Balinese courtyard gardens. The bathrooms were inspired by Peter Mullers' Bali Oberoi and the courtyard wall was inspired by the rural architecture of Yunan province in South China. Is has proven remarkably successful for late afternoon pool parties. The sunsets are to die for!"

Garden Design Magazine, 1997

" Wijaya's gardens honor the principles of Balinese architecture, which he describes as supplying "outlets, avenues, and backdrops for all the other arts." He designed Villa Bebek as Balinese-style walled compound of thatched pavilions with shaded verandas that open onto planted courtyards."

Weekend Magazine, 1999

"There are some hotels that you want to see, upon return from vacation, to renew your entire house. Hotels also where you enjoy your second home. We visited one such in Mauritius and one in Kenya. But we began in Bali, a guest of the dream houses of Australian architect Made Wijaya The flamboyant."

Romantic Destinations, 2003

"...And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery."

FRV Magazine, 2007

"The streets of Kuta-Legian-Seminyak-Unud-Sanur are littered with the corpses of bad architectural ideas appallingly rehashed.As I write, developers from Surabaya and Jakarta on neighboring Java and from Perth and Singapore, swarm over Bali throwing up shophouses , Korean BBQ restaurants and duty-free , all cheaply realized with a smattering of Balinese detail."

LARAS Magazine, May 2010

"Palm trees that grow high-strewn neighborhood parks in my village, Ubud. A beautiful village tempting colored hills, steep cliffs on the sidelines old trees, brings peace and tranquility in the silence of the natural beauty. Steps plot verdant rice fields, river Ayung canting graceful, natural accent strengthen a tropical garden-park in the neighborhood, a resort designed by Made Wijaya."
