O~CE~N offers you the best location in Bali for
owning a beautiful apartment in the first luxury
apartment complex on the
beach!
This
property photography has been a bit different from
our usual commercial shoot, Bali needs very little
introduction, well known for its great beaches,
gentle people and amazing colorful culture and
tradition.
The privately owned O-CE-N Bali is very different
from most other places in Bali, incorporating modern
architecture and a touch of prehistoric times through
out the property. O-CE-N @ http://www.o-ce-n.com/

Gunther Deichmann - Ammonite set into Onyx at
the Long Bar
Ammonite Fossils are on
display in most rooms but at the Long Bar you see
them in their full glory set into backlit Onyx which
has been added on as an extension of this fossil.

with the amazing Marble in the foreground
At the entrance to one of
the RESTAURANTS you can’t miss this fantastic backlit
piece of marble cut so thin that it is transparent,
an eye catcher at night.
Through out the whole property you see master pieces
of stone craft and the occasional fossil.
However there is one piece of fossilized seabed which
measures some 2 x 1.2 meters that really took my
attention, a fantastic showcase of Ammonites in their
evolution stage, in all my years I have never seen
such a beautiful piece. Original intended for the
property but it ended up in the hands of my good
friend Thomas who did some of the interior designs
and furnishing of the O-CE-N Bali.

piece is for sale if you interested.
You can contact me @ gdeichmann@mac.com
In contrast to all these
stones and fossils each room has a sound system
(iHome) with an iPod (Nano) which you can get from
the reception or bring your own, like I did.

Gunther Deichmann - the iPod & iHome
System
I helped in organizing these
iPods and mention this in one of my earlier Blogs
they where bought and engraved from the Apple Center
in Jakarta, plus I gave Thomas a little “crash
course” on Fossils hence my background in
Paleontology.
Now my assistant Hermes Singson and myself saw for
the first time the final outcome of this true
remarkable property. So if you in Bali next time, go
down to Kuta-Legian Beach and check it out or even
better have a drink at sunset while the Ammonites
looking over your shoulder.
Hungry? Not a problem, the O-CE-N has some of the
best food on the beach and soon their new Seafood
Restaurant gives you the best choice of Seafood
available in Bali.
