 The Campuan, a resort villa development located in Ubud, Bali, departs from typical Balinese resort
design that refers to traditional local architecture with pitched-roof buildings set up in a village-like
kampong setting. The resort’s owner, instead, sought a development that adopted a new approach,
both architecturally and environmentally.

The Campuan
Ubud

Indonesia

The Campuan resort comprises seven three-bedroom villas, each with a private pool, laid out down
a steep slope overlooking the Ayung Gorge. Aiming to respect the resort’s natural environment, the
architects wanted to limit the visibility of the buildings and create a contemporary look.

As such, the villas are low-profile buildings, mindful of their surroundings. Flat, leaf-shaped roofs
minimise the resort’s silhouette. Roof gardens blanket each building, giving the resort the appearance
of a chain of interlocking leaves. Jack fruit and coconut trees spring up through open spaces in the
roofs.

Skylights introduce natural light during the day, and illuminate the gardens at night. The buildings are
constructed of raw concrete, which provides a sharp contrast to their sleek, refined interiors. The villas
are laid out to flow seamlessly from one room to another.

The architects have incorporated a number of environmentally friendly building strategies into the
design. A lush tropical garden utilises wastewater from the resort for irrigation. The water flows down
the resort’s sloping site, filtered by vegetation, and is then recycled for toilets.

Other green strategies include using solar panels to supplement electricity; recycled ironwood from an
old boat for pool decking; and solar heat to warm up the water.

In addition to the villas, the resort has reception facilities, a restaurant and bar, and a spa.

 The Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort, an iconic development planned for Singapore’s waterfront,
will redefine the city-state’s urban landscape. Designed by Boston-based Moshe Safdie Associates
with Aedas Singapore, the over-S$5 billion project includes a five-star hotel and casino; meeting,
convention and exhibition facilities; internationally renowned restaurants and an array of retail outlets.
Positioned between the Marina Bay waterfront and the extensive Garden at Marina South, the Marina
Bay Sands aims to become the defining landmark for Singapore.

Integrated Resort
Bayfront Avenue
Singapore

The project’s silhouette is defined by the three hotel towers, which split and splay towards the bottom,
creating the space for a glazed atrium that connects the three buildings. They are also angled to
enhance the sculptural effect. The façade facing the Garden at Marina South brings the greenery onto
the towers through landscaped balconies, contrasting with the glazed façade facing Marina Bay.

The Sky Park, a one-hectare rooftop space set atop the three hotel towers, will feature spas and
restaurants. A sculptured garden, planted with lush greenery and set amidst swimming pools, jogging
paths and terraces, will serve as a tranquil sanctuary for visitors. A public observation deck at one end
of the Sky Park will offer 360-degree views of Singapore’s skyline and the surrounding area.

Another key highlight of the development’s design will be the unique structure of the ArtScience
Museum, positioned on the Marina Bay side of the development. Its lotus-inspired roof is a symbolic
welcome gesture to visitors to Singapore. The museum aims to advance the exploration of the arts
and sciences, and the connections between them. The other low-rise components are unified visually
through their sculptural wave-like roofs.
