Arch(e)type
The Order Jimbaran Hotel & Residences is an unbuilt hotel & residences project in Jimbaran, Bali, conceived as an architectural promenade rather than a set of objects. A cloister-like perimeter of 5–6 storey wings frames a protected inner world: a chain of courtyards that shifts from an animated public threshold to quieter, almost monastic gardens. A central ceremonial axis draws a long perspective inspired by the spatial logic of the Balinese candi gate with framing, compression, and revelation to choreograph arrival without literal historic pastiche.
Function is organized through this courtyard sequence. The first court acts as an open “urban room” where reception, lounges, and food-and-beverage spill out into shade and planting, inviting the neighborhood rather than sealing it away.
As the site descends, the second court becomes a wellness basin centered on water, spa, and yoga, slowing movement and deepening privacy. Accommodation follows a calibrated gradient: short-stay apartments in the hotel wing, larger residences, then standalone villas set deepest within landscape buffers. Courtyards become the primary wayfinding device, turning mixed-use complexity into an intuitive series of garden rooms and thresholds.
The project’s identity and environmental strategy merge in a layered façade conceived as a climatic screen. Subtle volumetric offsets generate terraces and deep loggias that self-shade glazing, filter glare, and create comfortable outdoor circulation in sun and rain. A “fractal” language repeats across scales. Shadow bands, screens, balustrades, and crafted inserts translate ornament into performance: privacy, ventilation, and tactile depth.
Warm Balinese brick and Indonesian teak are paired with durable stainless-steel service cores for legibility and longevity. They are supported by a robust reinforced-concrete frame suited to seismic conditions. Courtyard microclimates, dense planting, and rooftop solar panels reduce cooling demand and embed long-duration stewardship into the architecture’s form, function, and impact. Its sequence offers guests daily rituals of shade and calm.
Arch(e)type
Arch(e)type is an interdisciplinary architecture practice founded in 2015 by architect Daria Belyakova.
The practice’s mission is to create aesthetically precise, meaning-driven environments through a full 360 approach, where one concept is carried consistently across every scale, from the masterplan to the door handle.
Arch(e)type operates at the intersection of multiple disciplines, with dedicated teams in architecture, interior design, product and graphic design, as well as branding and marketing. The studio employs over 80 people.
Arch(e)type’s values are conceptual clarity, freshness, and professionalism. Each project begins with research into place, cultural context, and real-life user scenarios.
The studio’s portfolio includes residential and mixed-use developments, cultural centers, and hospitality projects across Russia, Indonesia, and Thailand.
