Stunning Shikumen Villa in Seminyak

• style
The antique house used in the Bali Shikumen Villa was originally from Java, which has a significant Chinese population, and the original structure, comprising a traditional Chinese square arch, is constructed from century old teak wood. The distinctive design for the Tropical Infusions Shikumen features the use of stone gateways and shaded courtyards, and the interior design incorporates rich colours and fabrics from China, as well as artifacts from the Indonesian archipelago. These are skilfully blended with modern conveniences and contemporary aesthetics to create a comfortable and elegant environment.

Shikumen houses originated in China in the mid 1800′s, and featured large stone gateways opening onto enclosed courtyards, and a mixture of Eastern and Western architecture. With the advancing pace of development, Shikumen are fast disappearing in mainland China, and are the inspiration behind Tropical Infusions Shikumen.
