4. THE MAIN PURPOSE BEHIND THIS VENTURE WAS TO PROVIDE ‘’THOSE MULTITUDE OF TRAVELLERS
INTERESTED TO WITNESS CULTURAL LIFE OF THE PEOPLE OF BALI’’. THUS THE SITE WAS CHOSEN , NOT FOR
ITS PROXIMITY TO THE BEACH , BUT FOR THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY OF THE SURROUNDINGS.
CONCEPT:
- Ar. Peter muler wanted to go beyond the concept of
individual bunglows and design a hotel village, with
wall-lined streets. He also decided to use local
material and local labour.
- Consideration for the physical aspects of the site and
the nearby village of kedawatan had a strong
influence on the scheme.
Peter muler wanted amandari to melt into the
landscape like another village .
The site itself consisted of a series of contoured rice
terraces, which he modelled into the scheme giving
the impression that the buildings rise from the lower
rice terraces.
