DESIGNING FOR ROTE ISLAND
Designing on Rote requires a different approach from Bali or other established tropical destinations.
The island’s long dry season, intense sun, coastal exposure and limited infrastructure influence everything from orientation and shading to water storage, materials and construction logistics.
Rather than importing a familiar Bali villa language, we develop each project from the conditions of its site: its views, wind, topography, vegetation and relationship to the wider landscape.
The result is architecture that feels specific to Rote and capable of ageing well in a remote environment.
