Bali Virgin Beach

Our task was to create a dream hotel on a limited coastal plot. The place where the ocean meets the sky and the wildness of nature intertwines with the centuries-old traditions of Bali became a source of inspiration and at the same time determined the architectural solutions. We wanted each room to offer guests a panoramic view of the ocean, and the building itself to blend organically into the surrounding landscape. Caption Caption Caption Caption The concept is based on the symbol of the wings of Garuda, a mythical creature from Balinese legends that embodies strength, protection, and spiritual freedom.

As in nature, the beauty of the space is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.” Caption White tones, a calming atmosphere and the use of local materials evoke an immediate sense of summer.Traditional plastering methods, handcrafted finishes and locally sourced stone were chosen to ground the space in its Mediterranean context. These elements not only reduce the environmental impact but also establish a deep connection with the island’s architectural heritage. More

History of an ancient Ottoman basalt building incorporated into a luxury hotel concept

The Sofia – Sea of Galilee hotel by Levin Packer Architects seamlessly incorporates the elegance and history of an ancient Ottoman basalt stone building into a grand 120 room luxury hotel and spa destination overlooking the Sea of Galilee in Tiberias. Amit Geron From the outset, the design brief called for the preservation of the original structure, so a minimalist design system was invoked. In terms of structural form, this meant maintaining fidelity to original proportions, and in terms of decorative form, this meant preserving materiality: restoring original floor tiles, basalt stones, and pillars, and retaining the overall material pattern of the space.
