A Three Bedroom Among Palms and Rice Paddies

This 2,300-square-foot house, completed in 2013, It was built in the traditional Balinese style, on a single level, with white stucco walls and a roof made of ironwood. Each room has access to the outdoors; flooring is mostly terra cotta tile; the woodwork on cabinets and windows is reclaimed old-growth teak. 

The entry is approached via a stone path that winds among frangipani trees. Orchids and staghorn ferns cling to the trunks of palms. The teak front doors open into a hallway flanked by the living room and the dining room. The kitchen, farther back, has a wood-topped breakfast bar and a sink handmade by a local steel worker; the countertops are Italian black granite. A covered outdoor walkway leads to the master bedroom, which has a timbered cathedral ceiling. Three walls enclose its en-suite bathroom; in place of the fourth is a private walled garden. The other two bedrooms, on the opposite side of the house, also have open-air bathrooms. 

The house is surrounded by countryside planted with rice paddies and coconut palms. Ubud is about 10 minutes away by car, although most people prefer to navigate the island’s narrow streets on scooters. Well known as a hub for the fashion industry, Ubud is home to many expatriate artists and spiritual seekers. The airport is an hour and a half away, in Denpasar.

A Model For Sustainable Development

Yulianto Maliang was commissioned to prepare a Master Layout Plan for an integrated Township on 600 ha of land in Indramayu, located outside of Cirebon City. The development is envisaged to be an mid-market Township that will accommodate a growing population within Indramayu seeking a different way of life.  The development is based on a vibrant, safe and secure, ecologically sustainable and modern environment, with national standard public and civic amenities, as well as places of leisure and recreation. 

The Master Layout Plan takes advantage of the Site’s strengths in terms of its existing natural environment, green vegetation, water bodies and mountain views which will be utilised as a backdrop to create a clean, green environment with extensive parks and recreation areas.  Viewpoints have been maximized throughout the Site with and a large Central Park acting as the development’s key central amenity.  A large institutional campus will be located on the largest site, acting as a catalyst for the region by becoming the focal point of research, development and education for the region’s industries and communities.  An adjoining site will include a large residential development and supporting town centre, while the smaller site on the other side of the Central Park will feature exclusive mid end villa communities, as well as a Nature Resort and Landscape, and a Convention Centre and adjoining Hotel.

Using the site’s unique and dramatic landscape, the vision developed by Yulianto Maliang is ambitious and innovative, borrowing ideas and strategies from the most modern and forward-thinking international approaches to design and planning. Stepping away from the typical style of other projects currently underway in the Country, this Project emphasizes and utilizes the natural attributes of the site to create a strong contrast using modern contemporary angular designs against the hilly, soft landscape that defines the Site.

Design is a Realistic Solution To a Problem

In an attempt to understand the underlying methods used in the creation of a design, a great deal of research has been undertaken into the nature of the intellectual process used by designers. What is clear is that there is no single method or system used by all designers, nor does any one designer appear to use any single method (Lawson, 1994). A designer uses many methods simultaneously, directed towards solving the problem and arriving at an acceptable solution.

The creative leap is more a process of building a bridging concept between the problem and its solution (Cross, 1996). In an observation of the design process, Cross determined that there was an ‘apposite proposal’ from one member which grew in acceptance by the other participants in the group trying to resolve the design problem. Once the basic proposal had been accepted the whole group swung behind the idea and then put all its efforts into making it work. This is contrary to the more conventional view of designers waiting for the blinding flash of originality, although the apposite proposal has to be derived from somewhere. But even this was the result of an evolutionary process.

The strategy that appears to be used most consistently is one that focuses on identifying several possible solutions or hypotheses. These ‘protomodels’ (March, 1976) are evaluated and each evaluation is used to refine the proposed solution until an acceptable answer is reached. For this to be effective the problem must be clearly stated.
