The 20,000 sq m scheme is organised around a chain of courtyards, with facades in Balinese brick and Indonesian teak. Completion is planned for May 2029.
An international architecture practice Arch(e)type has designed The Order, a hotel and residences complex in the south of Bali. The site sits on the Jimbaran hills, next to the Four Seasons and Raffles hotels, and the complex covers about 20,000 sq m. Developer Landmark Development holds the construction permit and plans to complete the project in May 2029.
Buildings of five and six storeys run along the perimeter of the site, with a chain of courtyards inside. The composition follows an axis drawn from the Balinese candi bentar gate, which sets up the passage from shared spaces to private ones. Facades combine Balinese brick with Indonesian teak. Terraces and deep shaded loggias work as a climate screen and cut the cooling load.
The Order has 120 residences and 56 hotel rooms. The mix includes studios, one and two bedroom apartments, penthouses with private terraces, urban villas and a two-storey urban villa with 360° garden terraces. Restaurants, a spa, a gym, coworking and retail space occupy the shared parts of the complex, together with a golf simulator, a billiards club, a kids club, a beauty salon and a lounge with live music.
Arch(e)type sums up the concept as "a system, not a hotel": the guest’s day, including work, exercise and rest, is built into the plan. The bureau ran the project end to end, from masterplan and architecture to interiors, landscape and branding. The concept won a gold award at the International Architecture & Design Award.
"Bali means working with a different spatial culture and a different climate. Here the architecture itself has to provide shade, cooling and the ritual of moving from public to private. We studied the logic of Balinese temple architecture, the processions and the repetition of a motif at different scales, and translated it into the language of a contemporary resort without quoting it directly," says Daria Belyakova, founder of Arch(e)type.
The land under the complex is freehold, while most new projects in Bali are built on leases of 25 to 30 years. "Freehold plots on the Jimbaran hills almost never come to the market," says Alex Ilin, founder of BD Landmark. "That is what makes an asset like this attractive to investors: land you own outright keeps gaining value over time." Apartments are being sold at pre-construction prices, with payments tied to construction milestones, and a hotel operator will run the hotel part of the complex.
