Om Swastiastu and welcome to our home āUma Dewi Sriā. Uma means house and Dewi Sri is the goddess of rice and fertility that blessed our home set amongst Sidemenās beautiful rice fields and with the ever-present and mighty Mount Agung in the distance.
A few years ago, on our first weekend out of town together we came to visit Sidemen and it was love at first sight. With its beautiful and calm scenery and authentic Balinese life and culture we instantly knew that here we wanted to live and get old one day.
āUma Dewi Sriā is a traditional style built Lumbung house. While often associated with Lombok, the Lumbung is also part of the typic Balinese compound where its function is the one of a rice barn. Despite its utilitarian function it has the most elaborate structure in a Balinese house compound and is also associated with Dewi Sri, the goddess of rice.
The lower platform of the Lumbung is to be used as a resting platform at night or a workplace by day. On top of this platform is the storage itself. Converted into a spacious bedroom the top is built in a manner of an attic. Uma Dewi Sriās roof is thatched with locally sourced rice grass that is called Alang-Alang. Not only blends this material naturally into the environment it also regulates the temperature inside the house and lets the room below it breath. Combined with the polished concrete floor and a natural airflow you will have a healthy nights rest all without the need for an air-con and reducing our carbon footprint at the same time.
