tranquil surroundings of Rynfield,
Benoni on the East Rand of Gauteng in
South Africa.
On the doorstep of one of
Benoni’s most tranquil and sought
after conservatories, Indobali
offers residents a haven of peace that
is far from the day to day rush of city
life.
Indobali is a secure, up-market
lifestyle estate whose architectural style
and guidelines are inspired by the subtle
intertwining of Indonesian and Bali culture
and feel.
Balinese architecture is
one of courtyards, pavilion and garden
elements, and open spaces. These will
be echoed at Indobali – which will
consist of sixty five individual, architect
- styled cluster units surrounded by walkways
and parkland.
The design of each Indobali
dwelling, as well as its positioning on
the stand, will reflect sensitivity to
the existing natural features, flora and
topography with most of the existing trees
on the property being kept as accents
to the new gardens. Residents will be
encouraged by both the architect and the
designated landscapers to follow the Balinese
style of garden layout.

Balinese homes are built
true to their surrounds using the most
natural and durable material available.
Indobali residents will
be encouraged to use the exterior options
of plaster and paint, red face
brick and stone cladding to complete the
authenticity of their homes.
Much of the beauty of Balinese
architecture can be seen in its elegant
roof lines. At Indobali, roof shapes will
remain true to authentic Balinese style.
Terracotta coloured concrete tiles will
be used as roof coverings for units and
garden pavilions.
In the idyllic Bali climate,
Pavilions are traditionally used as sitting
rooms, siesta areas, watchtowers and love
nests. At Indobali residents
will be encouraged to erect these pavilions
in quiet corners of their garden, or as
poolside lapa’s.
Wood and concrete plays
an important part in Balinese architecture
– with teak and decorative stonework
being used for a variety of applications.

Supports for these structures
will be plastered masonry piers, stone and wood columns of traditional
design and will be made to match the specific
style of the house. Following on the theme
of Balinese décor, chimneys will
be of facebrick or plastered masonary
with approved moulded cappings and the
face of all eaves will be decorative. The typical Balinese door
is unique, and at Indobali, special attention
will be given to all exterior doors and
gates.
Indobali has been designed as a walled
security estate and a manned gate house.
Indobali
- just a dream away!
