This quietly beautiful structure was imported from Java by the Englewood homeowners, longtime collectors of Asian art and artifacts. Indonesian families once lived in this antique teak building, whose open-air sleeping quarters at the bottom provide a respite from the island’s relentless heat. The upstairs, used as a kitchen by traditional inhabitants, now makes a great playhouse – or sometimes a place to read and reflect – for the acouple’s 12-year-old daughter. “I had designed a tree house that we were going to build around a tree, but when we found this, it had so much character,” notes the mother. “Originally, she complained, but now, she spends the afternoon there with her friends and a picnic basket, and it’s perfect.” The house and many other imports from the East are available from Massachusetts-based www.asiabarong.com.
