Kaleydo Lodges & Villas is a hospitality project located in Gili Trawangan island of Lombok, Indonesia. The client asked for a contemporary concept which considers the vernacular character of the area. Without being in so much resemblance of the aesthetics and style of Indonesian architecture, StudiSTAG started analyzing the vernacular in a function and usefulness guidance. A more contemporary approach reached by evaluating the ratios of the vernacular, rationalizing the Indonesian style and using the local techniques and materials.
Given the very limited useful space and the character of the plot, StudioSTAG used a combination of classic and contemporary allocation techniques to maximize the useful coverage and to ensure the balance of the negative and positive space.
