Villa V – Contemporary Coastal Luxury by Atelier Alejandro Borrego
Villa V in Lombok blends open spaces, ocean views, Ulin wood interiors, and sustainable design, creating a serene, luxurious coastal retreat.
Perched gracefully atop a lush hill in Lombok, Indonesia, Villa V by Atelier Alejandro Borrego is a poetic interpretation of modern coastal living. Completed in 2023, this 380 m² residence harmoniously blends art, architecture, and nature, offering uninterrupted 360-degree views of the Indian Ocean, surrounding mountains, and breathtaking sunsets.

Designed with a client-focused vision, Villa V emerges as a delicate dialogue between open and closed spaces. The architecture balances full and empty areas, creating a fluid roofline supported by a robust metallic canopy, effectively shielding the home from Lombok’s tropical sun and heavy rains. This thoughtful design ensures that every space in the villa is both functional and visually captivating.


Seamless Integration with Nature
Greenery is ever-present throughout the villa, reflecting a commitment to blending indoor and outdoor living. Expansive windows and sliding wooden panels invite natural light and ocean breezes, while providing flexible privacy. This open design maximizes southern views toward the Indian Ocean, creating a tranquil environment that harmonizes with its coastal surroundings.
The interiors are a study in serenity. Dark Ulin wood, sand-colored cement floors, and minimalist linear details define the living spaces, establishing a refined and peaceful aesthetic. Every corner of the villa has been curated to serve a purpose, making Villa V not only a work of art but a highly livable residence.



Architecture that Responds to Climate
Functionality and climate-conscious design go hand in hand. The metallic canopy protects against rain and sun, while the villa’s orientation and open layout optimize natural ventilation. This approach ensures a comfortable and sustainable lifestyle, demonstrating the architects’ commitment to both beauty and practicality.
Villa V embodies a contemporary approach to tropical architecture, where aesthetic elegance, environmental responsiveness, and modern comfort converge. It’s a home that celebrates coastal living, offering residents a luxurious yet harmonious connection to nature.
