Project - This project consists of two houses and is part of the Bandido Bali complex. "We wanted to create a unique experience of design, communication, culture and architecture. I believe that today, we live, work, and even play in square, dull, rigid boxes, with little connection to nature. The main task of this architectural project is to create an alternative that breaks the traditional boxes of our daily lives. Explore different ways of life, breaking paradigms and making architecture a means to inspire and evoke this way of life. I wanted to create a place where tradition and modernity have no boundaries, where indoor and outdoor can be integrated, where people and nature can be integrated, and where bamboo and cement can dance in harmony. The homes were eventually transformed into a Balinese-inspired showcase for the senses, emotions, and vision.
Location - Bali, its people, and its culture welcomed us with open arms from day one. That's exactly the message we want to convey to our users: a space that makes them feel at home despite being far from home. Tri hita karana (traditional island life philosophy), organic few.
Floor Plan - Located on the Pekatu Peninsula in the south of Bali, these houses are spatially organized inspired by traditional Balinese housing. The more public ** space is allocated a daytime area, and more private modules (night areas) are distributed around it. Ensure that each space has multiple circulation lines and entrances, and promote various interactions, connections, overlaps, and even superimpositions between them, thereby enhancing the richness of the space and the fluidity of the path. This richness is an important tool that allows users to experience the house in different ways at different times of the day. At the same time, we attach great importance to landscaping, conceptualizing it as an integral part of the architecture and interior design in all spaces. Over time, it gradually takes over the structure, ensuring privacy and promoting immersion in experiences and venues. The shapes, the materials used, the abundance of circulation and space, and the direct contact with nature are the fundamental pillars of this soul architecture.
Design - In order to create a more human and natural space, I understand that the creation, design and construction process should be based on models, sketches, and hours of on-site conversations with local artisans, rather than relying solely on computer design software. Throughout, the element of creating, Xi, and enjoying is always present. Without a doubt, models and sketches are the most effective way to communicate with local craftsmen and workers.
By combining certain elements with local features inspired by Mediterranean traditions, we conceive and design homes in harmony with their specific location, taking into account the sun, wind and rain of the region, especially in the context of southern Bali. The orientation, openings and eaves of the modules are all designed to enhance air flow, taking into account the prevailing winds in the area, thus increasing outdoor climate comfort without the need for air conditioning.
A skylight located at the top of the main space allows natural light to enter and facilitates the circulation of hot air, while allowing the beauty of the sky, the movement of clouds, the stars, and the Balinese moon to perpetuate.
Structure – By decontextualizing the elements and obscuring the conventional rules of bamboo and cement, the main materials that make up the structure, we succeeded in achieving their coexistence in the same environment. Bamboo is an outstanding ambassador of sustainability, tradition, craftsmanship and the Balinese spirit.
A highly geometrical circular floor plan structure was designed, consisting of 24 columns, divided into four columns and five upper rings, with a diameter that gradually decreases as the height rises. Based on this framework, only the dimensions and heights of the plan were changed, and all the main spaces were designed. The roof is characterized by a chaotic network of flat elements (**) and black bamboo (pelupuh), also adapted to the requirements of each space, creating openings and eaves when necessary.
In humid areas, cement, which usually represents rigid and industrial, is transformed into organic, malleable, lightweight and non-relievable elements through the use of "reinforced concrete". This adaptation allows for control of natural lighting, airflow, and privacy.
Interior Design – I intend to break the traditional rules and use a variety of materials as the core premise of interior design. Plastic from Balinese rivers** is repurposed into furniture, waste from marble factories is used to make tables, 100%* PET bottle fabric is used to make sofas, and Gae Aulenti chairs are redesigned into pahikung sarong (a traditional handmade fabric from Bali). Sumba Island). In addition, hand-glazed terracotta by local potters and pools painted by local artists are incorporated, demonstrating how we seamlessly integrate different materials and elements into the space. In conclusion, architecture is understood as an ongoing process of boundless creativity and experimentation.
