Cara Cara, the new hip hotel in the sunny island of Bali embodies a certain free spirited & wanderlust nature which we seek to capture through the architecture of the space. Taking over the shell of an existing hotel, the spaces are transformed and given life through vibrant splashes of colours and textures. They are deliberately juxtaposed with the raw structural elements for an edgy contrast. The activities of the hotel are layered across the four levels of the building’s frontage to create an overlapping terrace. This created a lively visual communication across the various programs.
Circulations and corridors are naturally ventilated and voids are created to allow daylight to fill the space. The screens along the sides of the building frames the hotel to direct the visitors' focus within the space which is followed by the slanted towering screens which guides the circulation to the open double volume foyer.
Every room tells the tale of a different adventurer and the typology of each room is catered specifically to the needs of the guest’s choice. For the rooms, a simple combination of timber and light-coloured hues are used. Every little corner is fully utilised and the details of the bunkbed allows for maximum storage.
