Located in the seaside town of in Tejakula on Bali's less touristy north coast, the Tiing Hotel is a two-and-half hour drive through the jungle from the airport in Denpasar.
Architect Nic Brundson calls the Tiing hotel "a reward for the intrepid."
Their reward? Views like this.
After visiting the site for the first time, Brunsdon said he knew that he wanted the hotel to frame the landscape. To do this, he designed seven 'blades,' consisting of upper- and lower-level guest suites, that propel out from a central space.
Both the blades and the walkways between them create Instagrammable "tunnel views" of the ocean and mountain, blocking out views to the side.
The suites are designed to encourage guests to unwind and reconnect, Brunsdon told Insider.
Guests can soak up scenery from their own private infinity pools ...
... or relax in an open-air tub after a day of snorkeling and exploring nearby waterfalls.
There are no TVs in the suites, and skylights fill the space with light in place of eye-level windows.
The idea is that "you can only really focus on being there and being present, with the ocean in front of you and the mountain behind you," Brunsdon said.
Brunsdon designed the hotel before the coronavirus pandemic, but he believes that it is well suited for pandemic travel, he told Insider.
When guests want to interact with others, they can head to the shared spaces like the red-tiled pool ...
... and the oceanfront yoga pavilion.
But social distancing is built into the hotel's DNA. You can "feel isolated when you want to be isolated, but connected when you want to be connected," he said.
The Tiing is located next to a working fishing village and feels like "traditional Bali," Brunsdon told Insider. On one trip, he remembers watching locals head out to sea on traditional wooden fishing boats and coming back with 50-kilo tuna.
To celebrate the spirit of Tejakuma and Bali, Brunsdon and local studio Manguning designed the hotel using local concrete and bamboo.
"Driving around the island... there are all these concrete slabs and columns, and a lot of them are being held up with bamboo," Brunsdon said.
Textured riffs in the hotel's walls, created by placing bamboo rods in wet concrete, became one of the hotel's signature looks.
