“I started off as an accountant, working nine-to-five,” Christian explains. “I felt a lack of inspiration and creativity and needed an escape.” In search of the extraordinary, he “picked up a GoPro, started traveling, and committed to making a video every day.” Some years of jet setting later, Christian slowly settled in Bali and drawn to the island’s breathtaking nature and inspiring energy, decided to fulfill a lifelong dream of building his own home.

Christian’s purchase of the Lost Villa site was equal parts luck and perseverance: “During the pandemic, I rode around on my motorbike asking locals if they or their families had land. After a few days, I found it: this wild jungle plot, which is now this sanctuary with towering trees—some over 100 years old.” From there on, Christian began a years-long process of developing the Lost Villa, piece by piece, into an extraordinary residence. Naturally, Christian selected Axor for the bathrooms of this deeply personal project.

LeBlanc collaborated with Romania-based Singleart Design & Architecture to create an immersive design inspired by Bali’s rich nature and local craftsmanship. “Everything is blue and green,” LeBlanc explains, from the infinity pool and volcanic rock koi pond to a soaring treehouse and rooftop garden laden with bougainvillea flowers. LeBlanc’s own neighbor, an expert craftsman, hand carved doors, beams and shelving with wood sourced from decommissioned boats, docks and bridges. A host of curated objects—handmade Jakarta carpets, bespoke coffee tables by Singleart and mouth-blown pendant lights from Christian’s native Toronto—rounds out the space.

When LeBlanc first discovered Axor, he was immediately inspired: “I thought, this is Lost Villa. The designs felt like they grew out of the earth.” An ensemble of fixtures throughout the home reflects his artful interpretation. In one corner, a floor-standing Starck Organic bath thermostat services a monolithic stone soaking tub; its sensuous shape echoing the lush greenery around it. In another, guests can discover a secluded powder room, its emerald marble displaying a faucet with the swirling vortex of Axor’s Starck V in Brushed Bronze—“a collection that feels experimental, elegant, and totally aligned with our space.”

Keen on ensuring “every space has its own palette and story,” Christian called in the services of FinishPlus to create matching finishes for each private bathroom’s unique palette of stone. A master bathroom matches elegant Italian marble with fixtures from the MyEdition collection shown in Brushed Bronze, finished with a custom black walnut plate. A different bedroom’s bathroom pairs Iranian platinum travertine with an Uno washbasin faucet and an Overhead Showers arrangement in contrasting Brushed Black Chrome.
