The project architect is Woha Designs Pte Ltd of Singapore. This award-winning firm has built a global reputation for innovative design for projects in tropical environments and were just awarded the Royal Australian Institute of Architect's (RAIA) International Award at the 2006 National Architecture Awards in Brisbane for their House on Rochalie Drive in Singapore. WOHA's The Met, a high-rise condominium in Bangkok, also received the Architectural Review MIPIM future project awards to name a ntabe few. Since 1989, directors Wong Mun Summ and Richard Hassell have been involved in the cutting edge of Asian hospitality design, having worked on many well known hotel and villa developments.
Richard Hassell speaks of this eco-friendly project …"We are very pleased that Alila Hotels have embraced the Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) principles, and we are using many ESD measures including local materials, water conservation with soaks and rain gardens and recycling with grey water systems, using local plants from the special Bali Savannah ecosystem on the Bukit, which are being raised in a nursery on site to encourage local bird and animal life, heat pumps for water heating, salt water pools - among many others. The resort is registered for Green Globe certification, and will be the first hotel in Bali to get the highest level of certification for ESD. As it is built into the resort from the beginning, there will be a strong combination of the built fabric and on-going operations side working together to reduce the long term ecological footprint of the resort.
The design of the interiors is completely integrated with the architecture, as the design flows from inside to outside. All the materials are locally sourced. These beautiful local materials are environmentally sound and support the local communities." |
