Nusantara

Longitudinal section

About 2.7 million people of Indonesian birth or descent are living in Singapore as recorded in 2019. Nusantara—Indonesian archipelago in Javanese—is a hybrid farm-to-table restaurant and spa project, aiming to bring a feel of ‘home’ to the Indonesians staying long-term in Singapore. With a highlight on Indonesian cuisine and Balinese spa activities, the project pinpoints the nation’s cultural identity.

RESPONDING TO LOCAL SETTINGS
The project ensures that accessibility and sustainability are prioritised to allow all access and be as environmentally friendly as possible. In terms of environmental settings, the project uses organic, eco-friendly materials and hydroponic plants installed around the staircase to promote the farm-to-table concept. Socially, Nusantara will be a place where people, especially the Indonesians in Singapore, can come together, dine in and do various activities offered in the facility.

Indonesian architecture is well known for using natural materials such as terracotta, lava stone, rattan, bamboo, oak wood, sandstone, granite and clay. The project incorporates these organic elements as a win-win solution to support the concept of sustainability and enhance its authenticity of a local Indonesian restaurant and spa. The colour scheme follows a natural, warm palette, including dark brown, yellow and contrasting greens from the vegetation.
