Richard Hassell as the principal architect of of this eco-friendly project said: ”We are very pleased that Alila Hotels have embraced the Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) principles, and we are using many ESD measures including local materials, water conservation with soaks and rain gardens and recycling with grey water systems, using local plants from the special Bali Savannah ecosystem on the Bukit, which are being raised in a nursery on site to encourage local bird and animal life, heat pumps for water heating, salt water pools – among many others.
A material native to its origins does give a singular look to its design architecture. The Balinese architecture is well articulated in these designs.
