Sensorium Tropical Sanctuary in Canggu, Bali, exemplifies modern tropical architecture by integrating built forms with nature to enhance guest well-being. The design features an open-air community hub with a floating canopy that connects different areas while fostering interaction with the landscape. Local materials like handcrafted bricks and recycled concrete enhance sustainability while maintaining a warm aesthetic. The winding entrance and various spaces, like the skylit foyer and outdoor terrace, provide sensory experiences reflective of Bali's culture and environment, breaking away from traditional enclosed dining spaces.
Situated along the route to Echo Beach in Canggu, Bali, Sensorium Tropical Sanctuary is a contemporary interpretation of tropical architecture, where built form, nature, and well-being converge. Designed as an open-air community hub, it invites guests to experience a deep connection with their surroundings while enjoying specialty cuisine against the backdrop of Bali's iconic rice fields.
Framed between a natural creek and rice paddies, the structure prioritizes integration over imposition. Inspired by the simplicity of vernacular Indonesian gubuk shelters, the design embraces a light, elevated roof, delicately lifted and curved to create a continuous shaded expanse.
A winding entrance path (jalan berliku) leads guests toward a foyer bathed in caustic light from a skylit pond, where reflections ripple across surfaces, creating a sense of momentary stillness.
Locally sourced materials ground the project in regional craftsmanship. Warm beige concrete and handcrafted bricks from Balinese soil create a cohesive, organic palette. An innovative recycled cigarette waste-infused concrete mix signals a step toward sustainable material development.
