Rose Bamboo Hotel comes with a fresh idea for a hospitality facility in Lombok. Compact bamboo bungalows with an extraordinary view will pamper the guest. Ocean, hills, and the blue sky became everyday scenery from these bungalows.

This facility is located on contoured land with natural surroundings. When all the units are done, the space between each other will be interesting. Walk through stone and plantations with hills and ocean view becomes so calming. Staying in this bungalow will be a unique experience as well.

Grow from the Nature This facility consists of five units, one private unit, two 1 bedroom units, and two 2 bedroom units. Considering located in the natural environment, this architecture has a concept grown from the land. The bamboo roof structure starts from the ground level and covers the building. The floor structure and the roof structure are separated so the covering shape from the roof can be felt. Trying a new structure in this project can be very interesting. The roof structure is made from split bamboo, a very thin part of bamboo. This material is stacked layer by layer to find the structural strangeness but with a very thin structure. The order of this master plan is also designed with organic order.

Solving the Site Problems Rose Bamboo Hotel become the longest project that I have ever handled, especially become person in charge for this project. This project started in June 2021, from concepting and mockup-making. After that, the team moved to construction drawing and others details like appliances, material list, and construction method.

The most challenging part of this project is the timeline. As a designer, the perfect design is a must, but time became the threat. A lot of decisions that made on site to shorten the timeline. Supervising this project is also exciting because site problem needs critical thinking and problem-solving skill. Every site visit always gives new problems to solve, but that is the most meaningful part involved in this project. Right now, this project is still ongoing, with only one unit that is almost done out of five.
