The New Apple Gallery in Bali

I design the first spectacular apple gallery in the far east part of the earth. Inspired by the Apple campus in California, the cube design is mimicry of high efficiency design of the new mac pro that offer sophisticated inside hardware as well exclusivity from the outside. The Gallery consisting of apple store, sits on a very tiny footprint, this is an example of environment responsible application, where the building open only nearly eight meters in diameter. The rest of the building sunken into the ground where the hill shape landscape shaped by gallery space beneath it. The exterior is very non-destructive to the environment, means low profile. also it open possibility of large area of green space as hardscape only for parking. The connection between exterior and interior is by a continuous ramp from the entry to the gallery. Interior concept is designed as simple as possible to fit with apple tradition. With white glossy finish dominant, the interior feel very techy and futuristic. The Apple Gallery building is three stories in height, two sunken basement and one above the ground. The lowest level is for storage and the management office.

Bali International Marina Concept Proposal

BIM (Bali International Marina), is an reclaimed island from the island of Serangan and existing abandoned Serangan resort complex that support program of BST (Bali Sustainable Tourism).In first attempt, reason of this project is because the southern Bali rapid development force tourism to be centralized to avoid unhandled tourism facility development is necessary in the area. The project intention is to steer Bali future tourism development to more public and international way and it is not held by privates or capital companies. The claim of the island Serangan masterplan project is to turn the island into BIM. The core facilities is public facilities, such as, marina, international race track, international stadium, tourism city, mixed use development, mall, golf course, apartments, hotels, condos, offices and houses all in centralized integrated BIM.



In fact Bali is often compared to Singapore, UAE, which have insufficent natural resources and has international culture of tourism. The success of Singapore and UAE (Abu Dhabi, Dubai) has pushed Bali to rethink its tourism masterplan to a more realistic way. On the other hand, Bali has already has abundant resources of natural beauty, especialy in outside mid-southern area. Thus the mid-southern area should be rethink, and while other should be maintain as heritage.



The island of Serangan southern area is abandoned since the new order era, where the success of Nusa Dua resort complex has pushed and turn the island to another luxury resort complex. Since this land abandoned and become useless while in the mainland there are rapid developments that suck up all Denpasar green area, turning the city into dense and sporadically congested.



This is one of many other ways to achieve sustainable tourism, if not acted this way, the tourism market in the mid-southern Bali will be bubbled out.
