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 : RESORT
AREA : 35,000 SQM
LOCATION : MATAKING KECIL ISLAND, SABAH - MALAYSIA
YEAR : 2010

Mataking Island is a pristine white sandy island with crystal clear blue waters. Located in the Semporna region, approximately a 45-minute boat ride from the town of Semporna, the island spans an area of about 40 acres.

Various marine life can be observed on the island, including coral reefs, whale sharks, and more, attracting the attention of tourists who come to visit. The lush trees on Mataking Island also serve as a habitat and protection for various bird species and butterflies. To reach the island, visitors from outside the Semporna region can take a bus to Semporna or use their own vehicles, then proceed to the jetty to board a boat.

It may not be easy to reach this island, but the beauty of the island and its underwater life make the journey worthwhile. The Jeghier Architect team was tasked by the client to create a conceptual design for a resort located on Mataking Kecil. This island is connected by a stunning sand bridge, allowing visitors to walk on it, almost as if splitting the two oceans.

We endeavored to design the resort rooms with dynamic shapes resembling the contours of the island itself. This project is still in the design development stage as other resort projects from our client take precedence for completion.

We will update with the latest design once it progresses to the next stage. Cheers!
