Bali Architect - Jeghier Architect - Villa Design

As an architect, my approach to design is a meticulous blend of creativity and functionality. Each project I undertake is an opportunity to craft spaces that not only reflect the aesthetic aspirations of my clients but also seamlessly integrate with the surrounding environment.

My design process begins with a thorough understanding of the client's vision, preferences, and the unique characteristics of the site. I believe that a successful design is not just visually appealing but also enhances the overall user experience. To achieve this, I engage in comprehensive research, considering elements such as natural light, spatial flow, and sustainability.

Collaboration is at the heart of my methodology. I work closely with clients to ensure that their needs and desires are not only heard but translated into tangible design elements. Through open communication, I strive to create spaces that resonate with the occupants on a personal level.

In addition to aesthetics, I prioritize functionality and efficiency in my designs. I believe that architecture should not only be visually striking but also enhance the daily lives of those who inhabit the spaces. Sustainability is a key consideration, and I incorporate eco-friendly practices and materials whenever possible.

Sketching and conceptualization play a pivotal role in my design process. I often begin with hand-drawn sketches to quickly capture ideas and explore various possibilities. These initial sketches serve as the foundation for more detailed digital renderings and ultimately guide the construction phase.

I find inspiration in the interplay of form, light, and materials. Whether it's a commercial villa, private residence, or a sprawling estate, my goal is to create spaces that leave a lasting impression while meeting the functional needs of the users.

In essence, my role as an architect goes beyond designing structures; it involves curating experiences and shaping environments that enhance the quality of life for those who interact with them.

PURPOSE : HOTEL
AREA : 4,600 SQM
LOCATION : LOCATION: SEMINYAK, BALI - INDONESIA
YEAR : 2010

The construction of new hotels is still concentrated in South Badung, such as in the areas of Canggu, Pecatu, Jimbaran, and Nusa Dua. Currently, Badung is the most favored region for hotel and villa development.

Around the year 2010, when Sunset Road started to become busy and land prices were already very high, investors began to consider hotel business. The aim was to create facilities that support tourism in Bali. The hotel building was intended to meet the demand for the desired number of rooms by the operator. Swiss-Bell-In Seminyak is a hotel managed by Swiss-Bell, and unfortunately, our architectural team from Jeghier Architect was faced with a structure that was almost 100 percent complete. We had to redesign the interior of the rooms and the facade of the building.

Many challenges and obstacles arose because we had to start changing the layout and creating a better flow. However, due to the existing structural conditions, adding other facilities became challenging. Additionally, because the back of the hotel faced a potential commercial road, our team at Jeghier Architect transformed the back of the hotel into a restaurant that could be accessed by the public. We also incorporated some office spaces that could be leased by others.

This hotel consists of 124 rooms in a four-story building, with each room covering an area of approximately 24 square meters.
