Excerpt: Alchemy Ubud, a hospitality project by Alexis Dornier, showcases a sustainable design with minimal material and an efficient structural concept. The integration of natural materials not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also promotes environmental responsibility. This innovative approach reflects a deep respect for the surrounding landscape, creating a harmonious blend between architecture and nature.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] When talking about sustainable design, we want to use as little material as possible. This is why good design always needs an efficient structural concept. The existing restaurant situated in a concrete building was completely opened and extended with a new 2 level structure on each end.
Recycled telephone poles were used as pylons, from which the load of the entire decks and roof are being suspended. Teared roofs made of bamboo and grass provide sufficient openings for air circulation, while sheltering from sun and rain. A minimal amount of material was used by pre stressed and tensile building components and rafters.
