BALE DHANU ECOTOURISM
BALE DHANU ECOTOURISM
The design of the Bale Dhanu area represents an architectural vision committed to a sustainable and climate-responsive approach, integrating tourism, education, and conservation functions in harmony with the Rawa Pening landscape. This is a spatial narrative that seeks to celebrate local identity through a bold and iconic reinterpretation of vernacular architectural forms.

Background & Research
Background & Research
This ecotourism area was my final project in university. It was born out of the critical issue of sedimentation, which threatens the loss of Rawa Pening Lake, and the vast, untapped potential of the lake specifically the view of the water hyacinth and the existing fish farms/ponds.

Design & Development
Design & Development
The resulting concept was an ecotourism project prioritizing Sustainable Architecture by leveraging local architectural potential. The design concept a combination of vernacular, industrial, and tropical styles makes the area harmonious with its original purpose and the local conditions. Using local materials like water hyacinth for roofing is a testament to applying sustainable architecture principles. Here, I didn't just design as an architect; I conceptualized the branding and community development needed to raise awareness about the local potential. In this context, the water hyacinth, a weed that accelerates sedimentation, could be used for crafts and generate economic value. I designed and planned various spatial needs for the area, ensuring all aspects synergized to save Rawa Pening Lake while simultaneously boosting the local economy through a comfortable and memorable tourist area for visitors.

In detail, the architectural concept adopts sharply rising roof structures in the main buildings as visual markers, effectively combined with the use of natural and locally sourced materials (such as wood and bamboo) on the facades and accommodation units. The exterior layout is designed organically through elevated walkways (canopy walks) and an amphitheater that follows the land's contours, ensuring minimal intervention with the local ecosystem while maximizing the visitor's experience of the lake's natural beauty.
