Located in Kaba Kaba, Tabanan, Bali, this ecological resort represents the stunning Phase II expansion of the Ulaman Luxury Ecological Resort. The project integrates numerous key facilities into a cohesive complex. The initial Phase I development received widespread acclaim from both media and the public, earning several international design awards, most notably the prestigious UNESCO Versailles Sustainable Architecture Award.
Building upon the materials used in Phase I—such as rammed earth, bamboo, natural stone, and recycled wood—Phase II introduces composite Structural Insulated Panels (SIP), commonly applied in roofing and spa center constructions. This organic architectural ensemble features a series of domes and flowing green roofs, blending harmoniously with the surrounding environment. The SIP panels boast an exceptionally low carbon footprint and are coated with recycled, recyclable EPS and soil-based fiber-reinforced polymer plaster, which makes them lightweight, durable, and highly insulating.
The newly added Lotus Restaurant area features a series of geometric pods, evoking a miniature cathedral. These pods are ideally positioned at the convergence of multiple waterfalls, including one created by reintroducing a lake at the center of the site. Previously disconnected due to agricultural practices, this lake has been revitalized to restore the micro-ecosystem, enhancing the site’s natural light and atmosphere. Additionally, the lake functions as a reservoir, supplying power to hydraulic turbines.
All power needs are met by solar panels installed in the parking area. The project also added several new guest rooms: some perched on the lake’s surface, others elevated 9 meters above ground, extending into the tree canopy. These luxury units offer excellent insulation and soundproofing, spacious interiors, and expansive views. Additional amenities include a gym, yoga studio, natural ecological pool, and small meeting rooms.
In summary, Ulaman Luxury Ecological Resort Phase II stands out as a pioneering example of sustainable technology and materials seamlessly integrated with ecosystem preservation and revitalization. It is a testament to the collaboration between the client and architectural design team, pushing the boundaries of sustainable, intelligent design solutions.
