Bamboo Sanctuary

Once known as Lembur Pancawati, this serene retreat has been lovingly reimagined and reborn as Bamboo Sanctuary, a name that reflects its essence and the vision of its new owner. The transformation of this resort is a celebration of Sundanese culture, where every detail has been thoughtfully redesigned to honor the region’s rich heritage while creating a harmonious connection with nature. At the heart of this redesign is bamboo, a material deeply rooted in Sundanese tradition, which has been masterfully incorporated into every aspect of the resort’s architecture, landscape, and ambiance.

The redesign of Bamboo Sanctuary is a testament to the seamless integration of cultural authenticity and modern functionality. The resort’s structures have been reimagined with a Sundanese element approach, where bamboo takes center stage as both a structural and aesthetic element. From the building frameworks to the intricate details of the interiors, bamboo is used in innovative ways to create spaces that are both visually striking and deeply rooted in tradition. The material’s natural beauty and versatility are showcased in the perimeter plantings, cutlery, lighting fixtures, bridges, and even the supporting plants in slope areas, ensuring that every corner of the resort tells a story of Sundanese craftsmanship and sustainability.

One of the key principles guiding the redesign was the preservation of the resort’s valuable existing structures. These elements have been carefully maintained and thoughtfully integrated into the new design, creating a sense of continuity and respect for the site’s history. The natural landform of the property has also been faithfully followed, allowing the resort to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. This approach not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the resort but also ensures that the design is in harmony with the environment, creating a tranquil and immersive experience for guests. The use of bamboo extends beyond the architectural elements, weaving its way into the very fabric of the resort’s identity. In the restaurant, bamboo is used to create elegant and functional ornaments that add warmth and character to the space. In the villas, it is incorporated into the design of furniture, partitions, and decorative accents, creating a sense of unity and continuity throughout the resort. Even the landscaping features bamboo as a supporting plant in slope areas, where it serves both an aesthetic and practical purpose by preventing erosion and adding texture to the terrain.

The redesign of Bamboo Sanctuary is not just about aesthetics; it is about creating a space that resonates with the spirit of Sunda and offers guests a unique and meaningful experience. The resort’s new name reflects its commitment to sustainability, cultural preservation, and the creation of a sanctuary where guests can connect with nature and tradition. Every element of the design has been carefully curated to evoke a sense of place, where the past and present coexist in perfect harmony. As guests step into Bamboo Sanctuary, they are greeted by a landscape that is both familiar and extraordinary. The use of bamboo in the bridges and pathways creates a sense of journey and discovery, inviting guests to explore the resort’s lush surroundings. The lighting, crafted from bamboo, casts a warm and inviting glow, enhancing the resort’s tranquil atmosphere. The restaurant and villas offer spaces that are both functional and beautiful, where guests can relax and immerse themselves in the beauty of Sundanese design.
