DESIGN NAME: Surga Tropis
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Club House and Landscaping
INSPIRATION: On my trip to Bali, I got to learn a lot about Balinese architecture. It is a centuries old vernacular architecture tradition influenced by Balinese culture developed from Hindu influences. Balinese style is the most popular Asian tropical architecture. The use of tropical trees and natures amalgamation with man made structures is something which I admire. Balinese landscape create a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The overall design of the space gives a distinct flair for being in harmony with nature. Using nature at its best, this space provides a man made structure with a relaxed and tropical atmosphere. This space was designed using the distinct Balinese style combined with modern elements. Traditional stone sculptures are used to give an authentic look. I have tried to create harmony and balance between the 3 elements of life i.e. the atma(human), angga(nature), and khaya(gods).
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The philosophies of Balinese Architecture which revolve around Hinduism, spatial organization, and communal-based social relationships have been used in the overall design. The four strength aspects, which are good ventilation, a strong foundation, a massive and a guarding wall gives this design its true essence. This club house provides a calm and relaxing atmosphere that compels you to reflect and be at one with the earth.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project is located in Pune, India.
