Book: RUMAH RUBAH - A BALI HOME OF GILDAS LOAEC AND ROMY LOAEC
A collection of works by Pierrot, a photographer based in Indonesia and Paris.
"Rumah Rubah," standing amidst the earth and sky, filled with the warmth and light of teak wood, is a tranquil residence nestled on a quiet hillside in Pererenan, Bali. As the home of Gildas Loaëc, co-founder of "Maison Kitsuné," architect Maximilian Jencquel of "Studio Jencquel"—renowned globally for his architectural prowess and highly acclaimed in design magazines, particularly for his work in Bali—envisioned this residence as a space where Japanese restraint and Balinese spirit gently resonate. Constructed with local teak wood and surrounded by a 4,000-square-meter tropical garden flourishing with century-old Bodhi and Pulai trees, "Rumah Rubah" breathes like a living organism. Its unique roof structure allows wind and light to circulate freely, while solar power generation and a rainwater harvesting system quietly support the life within. Every architectural gesture embodies a profound respect for nature, time, and the craftsmanship of artisans. Photographer Pierrot sought to capture precisely this quiet harmony in monochrome. Known for his expressive style that reflects timeless aesthetics and the emotional space between subject and artist, Pierrot's lens guides "Rumah Rubah" into a meditative landscape. Images capturing moments where shadow and light merge invite viewers into a rich expressiveness found within tranquility.
Presented across 112 pages, printed on archival quality paper, this book depicts a sequence of intimate moments within the residence. The hundred-year-old frangipani tree reaching through the open-air space, the light reflecting on the pool's surface at dusk, the sculptural presence of custom-made teak furniture, and the quietly nestled Bale Kulkul tower and riverside temple in the depths of the garden. It is not merely a record but a volume crafted to allow a sensory appreciation of the space's charm. With a luxurious textile hardcover subtly embossed and an introduction written by architect Maximilian Jencquel himself, this collection further expands the philosophy embodied by its subject. Produced with precise offset printing, this book faithfully reflects the care and intention imbued in the residence. More than just a visual book, it is a quiet meditation exploring architecture, emotion, and the aesthetic of "living slowly."
