Sayan Village is a village that is rich in natural and artistic potential. Even so, in the midst of the booming Bali tourism industry, this village is still on the verge of poverty. Combining the local issues, potential, and design theories of traditional Balinese architecture, an Ecotourism Center is considered to become the most contextual solution.

Boasting spectacular views of Bali’s renowned Subak Ricefields and Ayung River, Sayan Village Ecotourism Center is steeped in the local vernacular through its design and choice of materials. It is a one stop all-in-one experience of Sayan Village, where tourists and locals interact through nature, art, and culture.

Tri Mandala Spatial Programming

The Tri Mandala concept is applied due to the linear and contoured form of the site. The site is divided into three parts: Utama or sacred, the highest area which is oriented to Mount Agung and is side by side with an existing temple; Madya, the middle part where most mundane activities take place; and Nista, the profane lower part.

Mass Orientation & Natah

The orientation of the masses adjusts the contours of the site with a geometric arrangement that is typically found in traditional Balinese villages.

Natah, an open space which is the center of orientation of the surrounding buildings, has a function as a miniature subak rice field that becomes the main attraction of the site.

Dynamic Composition & Circulation

Bulky forms are broken down into smaller masses, creating more open and dynamic mass composition to minimize the impact to the site. The main circulation directs the user to appreciate the subak paddy field. A secondary path allows access to the lodges privately and to the commercial area directly.

Vernacular Form Blending with Nature

The design and material of each mass adapts that of the local vernacular architecture. The form of the education building is also made of terraces with hanging plants to camouflage the facade, blending in with the terraced subak rice fields, blurring the boundary between the manmade and nature.

Structure & Material

The selection of the type of wood used as the structure follows the traditional Balinese architecture philosophy, which groups different types of wood with specific functions. Other local materials are used such as andesite, Balinese carved Paras rock, and clay roof tiles

Landscaping concept

The Manik Ring Cucupu Philosophy is applied in the landscape: nature provides the materials needed by buildings, and in return, the buildings do not damage their natural environment. Natah inbetween buildings are planted with plants that users can pick for cooking and offerings, as part of the ecoourism experience.

Plataran Widuri

Determined to become “The Crown of Puncak”, Plataran Widuri aims to embody Puncak’s natural beauty, its legacy in culture, and contribute in bettering the well-being of its local residents. The resort includes a restaurant, hotel, chapel, multipurpose building, bar, conservatory, villas, wellness spa, amphitheater, mini zoo, farm to table eating experience, and a wedding deck. In this project, I was responsible for the hotel, designing the pool area, and producing Design Development documents.

The Hotel

With a large percentage of the site being a steep slope inclining around 20 meters toward the river, about two thirds of the building is sunk into the ground. The design and user experience of the hotel are unconventional and unique, with its entrance on its rooftop, as well as a stretched terrace and infinity pool on its bottom floor. Extruding from the terraced façade are balconies on each level, allowing all customers to enjoy the stunning view from their rooms at any time of day. With this vantage point, as well as that of the lower terrace, the entire landscape of the hills and river are visible.

The Pool Area

The client requested for an organic-shaped pool overlooking the river. With the edge of the lower ground floor being quite close to the riverbank, the challenge was to efficiently position and design the pool area in a way that allows the view of the river visible. All the while keeping the added structure at a safe distance from the river to minimize the chance of landslide.

The resort targets domestic over international tourists. As locals prefer to lounge in the shades rather than to sun-bathe, the design responds by offering various seating options, such as: a shallow pool, shaded cabana, and a terraced seating area. Planters are integrated to the pool decks to provide extra shade from tree canopies.

Today, there can be a tendency to enclose, thicken and solidify, to separate ourselves from the environment and the natural elements. Parahyangan Polytechnic School of Design expresses a renewed ambition to resist this trend and to open the building towards the city and the urban skylines.

Interaction with the City

The central location presented a rare opportunity for an architecture school to engage in a dialogue between the city and the study of architecture. An existing heritage building, Galeri Wastu, is repurposed into a public exhibition space which is accesible for passing pedestrians to rest in whilst enjoying students’ exhibited projects.

The teaching spaces of Parahyangan Polytechnic School of Design are projected into the streetscape, encouraging students to engage with the building’s context and allowing the city to permeate the ribbed veil of the façade.

A Tool for Design Learning & Collaboration

Above all, the school was designed as a tool for its students, a means to experience the study of architecture and design, and to provide shared spaces in which to interact, discover, and collaborate.

Circulation corridors and straight atriums link and penetrate each level, allowing spaces to blend from one learning and research space to another, thereby broadcasting a collaborative nature of design that promotes interaction and visual connectivity.

A grid system is planned in parallel with an existing heritage building at the site, Galeri Wastu. 8x8m and 8x6m grids are arranged according to the needs of each space function, in order to maintain space efficiency.

A podium is created as a base which consists of 3 levels in accordance to the surrounding buildings, maintaining a visual harmony with strong horizontal emphasis at Jalan Cihampelas. The shape of the building follows that of the site to maximize floor area.

The upper level of the podium is pushed back and pilotis is applied to the lower level to maintain visibility of Galeri Wastu from the intersection, a form of respect to its historical value.

The department office floor is extended closer to the perimiter, “hovering over” the student communal area underneath. The cantilevered design is a reinterpretation of local values in which the old protects the young, while the young respects the old.

Substraction is applied on the podium terrace to respond to the intersection as a corner building. The cantilevered upper podium is gradually pushed back in coherence to the site shape. Upper levels of the tower is pushed back to create a skyline gradient.

Second skin made of perforated metal sheets is used to avoid direct sunlight while keeping the users of the building connected to the city. The rusty color of the corten steel facade blends with the terracotta tile roof of Galeri Wastu and other surrounding buildings.

The student communal area on the second floor is connected to a rooftop garden which brings the students closer to the surrounding urban area. Glass block floors are put in squares across the rooftop garden, allowing visual acces as well as natural light to activities happening at the outdoor exhibition area below.

A metal curtain glides along large windows to frame views across the city. By day, the building reflects the changing light as the sun moves around the façade; by night, inside and outside are reversed, revealing the building’s skeleton and morphing between transparent and opaque.

Bukit Pratama House

Tools Used Autocad, Sketchup, Lumion

The clients were two families which were victims of the Situ Gintung Dam Failure flash flood back in 2009. They were left with many reparations and cleaning up to do — even years after the disaster — which takes a significant mental toll on the families. Having experienced their house being heavily affected by the flood for several times, they wish for a total renovation into a low maintenance, manageable, compact house.

Taking precautionary measures of potential flooding in the future, the building is raised 1.6 meters above the ground. An open plan concept is applied for a simple and direct layout. The minimalistic modern design avoids unneccessary ornaments and decorations for easier cleaning.

The environmental considerations in this project are also reflected in the materials. For instance, concrete was selected as the dominant material as it is the most durable option, in addition to retain a cool atmosphere in the house keeping the interiors well insulated from the piercing Jakarta tropical heat. Wooden materials are used minimally as it is more susceptible to rotting and termites. Weather-resistant Ulin wood is used for exterior ceiling and terrace deck.

The architecture style of this project falls under the American Classic catagory, with a touch of contemporary eclecticism in its interior.

The French-style window frame, sculptural dining table inspired from a Japanese pagoda, and the curved seats, all tied together in a monochromatic palette.Pendant lamps resembling candle light adds warmth to the space.

The wet kitchen area is also used for a small home bakery business. the space under the stairs is used as a storage area for orders waiting to be picked up. This area also functions as a bench to rest while watching the oven bake, all the while creating a more cozy, informal feel.

A built-in dog crate and shoe storage bench is located at one side of the wet kitchen that is closest to the exit door leading to the garage. The shoe storage bench allows the users to comfortably wear their shoes before heading outside.

Kid’s Bedroom 2 for the client’s younger child is designed with a more playful approach. A circular staircase which leads to the shared mezzanine becomes the point of interest of the room. Following the dynamic nature of the stairs, every corner has an organic element.

A custom irregular-shaped mirror is hung over the Suar wood-inspired headboard. A pendant lamp with a pulley system is applied, allowing the user to control the height of the reading lamp depending of their activity.

Inspired by contemporary cave-like interior style, an accent wall made of traventine marble completes the room. An irregullarshaped mirror matches the one in the bedroom, bringing the playful atmosphere to the bathroom. Black faucets, shower set, and glass frames are chosen in contrast with the ivory surroundings.
