ROYAL WINGS ISLAND RESORT HOTEL

2018 Indonesia Batam

This is a tourism project located on Bintan Island in Indonesia. Bintan Island is approximately a 45-minute boat ride from Singapore and is a tourist destination primarily catering to Singaporean tourists. The project consists of two land parcels separated by a road, with a total land area of 330,000 square meters and a coastline. The project includes the overall planning and design of tourist attractions, a convention and exhibition center, resort hotels, eco-friendly mangrove treehouses, villa properties, a zoo, and dining streets.

At the attraction, visitors will be welcomed by undulating wooden entrance structures resembling waves. Along the coastline outside the attraction, seaside dining is designed. Visitors can also stay at adjacent resort hotels. The resort hotels offer private beaches, with pools and bar dining also designed on the beach. Due to significant changes in terrain elevation, the hotel lobby is designed at a higher elevation. A series of terraced water features are designed from the elevated lobby to the shoreline, creating a visually unobstructed connection leading the sightlines directly to the sea view. The hotel rooms are designed as terraced double-story units following the natural contours of the terrain. The facades integrate undulating wooden structures harmoniously with the mountains.

The resort hotel also includes a convention and exhibition center. The center is designed to be semi-embedded into the mountains, with the main hall offering views of the attractions and the sea as a backdrop. At the top of the center, a rooftop garden is designed.

At the end of the hotel is an ecological swamp area. We do not want to disrupt the existing ecological environment and aim to minimize the destruction during the construction process. Therefore, we have designed treehouses elevated above the swamp forest, allowing visitors to walk through the forest while learning about the ecology of the swamp.

At the other end of the road, inland plots have been designed to include a small zoo and an outdoor dining street.
