WATG and Wimberly Interiors

We Know Bali - Our creative instinct has always been to honor the intrinsic qualities of Balinese culture, preserving and celebrating the unique heritage, landscapes, and communities of Bali. Through our ritualistic approach in honoring a place, we achieve a deep resonance by telling timeless tales that reflect its essence. “To date, WATG had designed nearly all international-branded luxury large-scale hotels in Bali including Bali Nirwana Resort (later renamed to Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali Resort, now demolished), Hotel Nikko Bali (now Hilton Bali Resort), Conrad Bali, Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort, the new Ritz-Carlton Bali in Nusa Dua, the upcoming Regent Resort Canggu, and Rosewood Tanah Lot Bali.” - A Quite Long History of Bali Hotel Architecture Part IV by Radit Mahindro Read more - https://hubs.ly/Q02FdDL40 #bali #balihotels #baliresorts #luxurybali #luxuryhotels #luxuryhospitality #architecture #interiordesign #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #masterplanning #baliindonesia

Roundtable: Mood Enhancing Design: Enlighten Me - Hotel Designs In collaboration with award-winning lighting manufacturer Franklite Ltd, Hotel Designs hosted a lively discussion on the impact of design on mood and perception with a group of esteemed interior designers, including Wimberly Interiors' Rasha Gamal. Taking place during Clerkenwell Design Week there was much to be inspired by as the group gathered together in the private dining space at The Zetter Townhouse – a quirky bolthole in the heart of the design district. “We really consider the functionality and how each level of lighting design adds to that. In a guestroom for example, you need lighting on high levels, on mid levels, night lights – all of these things make it a more comfortable stay for the guest. Bathroom lighting is a big deal – making sure you have the right lighting for make-up application, should you have warm lighting, cold lighting for example.” - Rasha Gamal Read more - https://hubs.ly/Q02F01Gs0 #lightingdesign #wellness #interiordesign #luxuryinteriors #hospitalityinteriors #hotelinteriors #luxuryhospitality #hospitalitydesign

🌿 What Makes a Home Green? - The Edge Singapore In today's world, being "green" encompasses sustainability, environmental stewardship, and prioritizing the long-term well-being of our planet. Our approach includes holistic wellness for both residents and staff, site preservation, community engagement, and ensuring long-term client success. Chiara Calufetti-Lim, Principal, Architecture, emphasizes the delicate balance between environmental resilience, social responsibility, and economic viability to achieve harmony between humans and nature. One of our recent projects, Umana Bali, LXR Hotels & Resorts is a testament to this philosophy. Inspired by the Balinese concept of Tri Hita Karana, we transformed a 72-villa resort by preserving existing structures, thereby reducing costs and minimizing waste while enhancing the property economically and environmentally. Paolo De Simone, Creative Director, Wimberly Interiors, highlights our approach to residential design, driven by our hospitality ethos. We prioritize renovations and repurposing materials to increase resilience. Our designs integrate natural elements, maximizing daylight, natural ventilation, and biophilic principles to foster well-being and connect dwellers with nature. #Sustainability #GreenDesign #BiophilicDesign #Architecture #InteriorDesign #ResidentialDesign #InteriorDesign #SustainableLiving #WellnessDesign
