Sitting on the cliffside of Nyanyi Beach in Bali, this project delivered on the opportunity to create a standout destination for events, dining, arts, and holistic hedonism combined with playful relaxation, where unique iconic architecture overlooks the ocean. The masterplan features a series of groundbreaking naturally inspired buildings that creates a hub of activity that are conceived according to Fibonacci sequences that connect flow and movement throughout the property.
Central to the complex is the main beach club which appears as a vortex like structure, built of bamboo and basalt which serves as the main restaurant area, is covered with layers of woven shades to keep the interior comfortably bright during the daytime and illuminated at night. Evoking a feminine personality that balances the masculine presence of the lighthouse tower, it is a versatile space for dining, workshops, and entertainment. Connected to the restaurant is a lagoon-style pool facing the sea, into an underground ‘Utopia VIP Club’ with a thrilling 9m river slide. Elevated platforms made of recycled materials intertwine with the forest, offering playful spaces like nets, tunnels, and climbing routes that blend with the natural surroundings. ‘Elysium’ located in a secluded corner, serves as a serene space for ceremonial events such as meditation, weddings, and yoga. Constructed with lightweight sandwich panels, the building features geometric lines that filter light into the interior, fostering a sense of unity and connection with the surroundings. Intertwined with all these buildings are enchanted gardens, art including giant sculptures and inspiring mini venues whose structures serve to create intrigue and adventure throughout the whole site.

Inspiral Architecture and Design Studios

“To improve our well-being we need to be inspired by the spaces we live in, both the built environment, the natural, and their harmonious existence”

Inspiral Architecture and Design Studios produce unique architecture that challenges the way in which our built spaces can expand our inner nature that inherently connects to the natural world. Inspiral consists of a group of creative architects, engineers, and artisans which has allowed them to realize a number of dynamic buildings and environments. They have been able to pursue advanced methods of construction combining SIP technology, prefabrication, lightweight structures, earth building, bamboo expertise, and composite eco materials along with polymer and basalt reinforcement. These diverse skills have led to their designs being featured in many international publications, being the recipient of major worldwide awards including most recently the UNESCO Prix Versailles Awards for sustainability and AHEAD Asia Awards.
