Studio Jencquel has completed a private residential project in Pererenan, Canggu, Bali, presenting a deeply considered exploration of space, craft and environmental integration. Known as Rumah Rubah, or The House of the Fox, the residence was conceived by Studio Jencquel as a permanent sanctuary set within a 4000 square metre tropical garden, prioritising silence, material integrity and spatial generosity over conventional ideas of luxury.

Studio Jencquel positioned the house centrally within the site, allowing the surrounding landscape of mature and newly cultivated trees to envelop the architecture. This deliberate approach creates a rare sense of immersion and privacy, where each room opens directly onto greenery and the outside world recedes from view. The three bedroom suites, oriented to the east, are designed to receive morning light, reinforcing a daily rhythm that connects occupants to the natural environment.

Studio Jencquel constructed the residence entirely from teak, extending this material language across structure, flooring, screens and bespoke furnishings. Within the bedrooms, this consistent use of timber establishes warmth and continuity, while louvred walls and layered roofing systems enable passive cooling and natural ventilation. Each suite is paired with a private bathroom and direct garden access, dissolving traditional boundaries between interior and exterior.

At the centre of the home, Studio Jencquel introduced a quiet courtyard anchored by a century old frangipani tree, offering a moment of stillness that contrasts with the more open living areas. The bedrooms benefit from this spatial arrangement, combining intimacy with openness and reinforcing the project’s emphasis on calm, unhurried living.

Throughout Rumah Rubah, Studio Jencquel ensured that every element, from hand carved stone to custom furniture, contributes to a unified composition. The result is a residence defined not by decoration, but by the quiet luxury of space, craftsmanship and a profound connection to its setting.
