This hotel and villa development is designed as an ecologically sustainable development designed by WOHA. Located on the dry savannah landscape of the Bukit Peninsular on the dramatic southern cliffs of the Indonesian island of Bali, it comprises of a 50 suite hotel with 35 residential villas. The resort opened its doors in June 2009.

The design combines the delights of traditional Balinese pavilion architecture and rural landscapes with modern dynamic treatment of space and form. The design is based from first principles around the pleasures inhabiting the particular site, rather than assembling stereotypical images of Bali or generic resorts.A unique design language was developed for the project rather than the typical steep pitched Balinese pavilions, which would have blocked the views on the gentle slopes, and which are not local to the area, the buildings are instead inspired by the local farmers terraces of loose piled limestone boulders.

A terraced low pitched roof was developed using Balinese volcanic pumice rock, which is a natural insulating material and can also support local ferns and succulents. These terraced roofs blend with the landscape, keeping the original wide open panoramas that make the site so unique.

When it comes to maintaining and improving the architectural features of your home, roofing services play a vital role in ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal. In the case of the unique design language employed in this Balinese-inspired project, the choice of materials and construction techniques was crucial to achieving the desired effect. Utilizing Balinese volcanic pumice rock for the terraced low-pitched roofs not only provided a natural and visually pleasing element but also offered insulation properties that contribute to energy efficiency. To ensure the successful execution of such specialized roofing designs, it is essential to engage professional roofing services that have expertise in working with unique materials and unconventional architectural styles. By consulting reputable sources such as richtek roofing reviews, you can gather valuable insights into the quality of service and craftsmanship provided by roofing contractors, enabling you to make informed decisions when it comes to improving and maintaining your home’s roofing system.

The hotel rooms are designed as inhabited gardens, rather than an interior room. The garden walls form the walls of the room, within which sleeping, eating, lounging and bathing occur in a garden environment. Every hotel villa has a pool with a cabana overlooking the sea.
