Description

Located in the heart of Bali's capital, Denpasar, this project is about renovation of an old 24 rooms Niko Hotel into a new 38 units business hotel. The massing concept of this hotel consists of four major boxes that enclose whole layout with an inner courtyard and small pond that fill the landscape. To rebrand the hotel, we came up with the idea of kepundung plant pattern in another layer of building's skin as the new facade of the building. We decide to use this modest approach to pay respect and appreciate a local grand temple nearby the hotel. By wrapping the buildings with this secondary skin, we get two major benefits, not only function as sun shaders, this skin also make the building looks lighter and more attractive especially during the nights
