Inspired by the legendary Battle of Sura and Baya, the hotel embraces the story of two opposing characters whose differences have become part of Surabaya's identity. Translating this narrative into a vibrant hospitality experience, the design explores the interplay of Contradiction, Contrast, and Balance. The rugged texture of crocodile skin meets the sleek, glossy character of shark skin, while structured geometric grids interact with fluid, organic forms. Bold complementary colors, expressive materials, and unexpected combinations bring a sense of energy and personality throughout the hotel, reflecting the playful, bold, and unconventional spirit of Aloft. Through the harmony of these contrasting elements, the hotel creates a distinctive and welcoming destination where differences come together to form a unique identity.

Paparempa, a rice terrace retreat in Pererenan. Located within the same complex as NOEMA Pererenan Hotel, Paparempa is an Indonesian restaurant with a contemporary twist, inspired by the sculptural forms of rice terraces and the charm of treehouse architecture. The design celebrates Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage through organic forms, terraced seating, a central bar, and continuous shelving that extends to the upper level. A sweeping ceiling inspired by traditional Indonesian architecture frames intimate lounge areas overlooking lush greenery.
Earthy tones, burnt orange, and textured gold accents evoke the warmth of Indonesian spices and natural landscapes.

Nestled in Bandung, a city celebrated for its rich Art Deco heritage, the design draws inspiration from a diverse range of movements, including Cubism, Futurism, Modernism, Bauhaus, and Art Nouveau.

Conceived as part of 23 Paskal’s visionary Eateria concept, the foodcourt brings together vibrant colors, contemporary energy, and artistic expression.

Our vision was to create a lively, uplifting environment filled with character and joy, where creativity and spontaneity shape a memorable social experience.
Filosofia takes its name from the idea that philosophy is deeply personal — a reflection of how we see, feel, and experience life. Conceived as a house of fragrance, the space invites visitors on a journey of self-discovery, where scent becomes an expression of individuality, mood, and personal rhythm.
Taking cues from the ancient Egyptian and Roman traditions, when fragrance was associated with rituals, nobility, and indulgence, the concept reinterprets this heritage for a generation that embraces scent as an everyday form of self-expression. It is a play between the exclusivity of the past and the openness of the present.
This contrast shapes the spatial language: understated yet expressive, refined yet approachable. A warm neutral palette, crisp architectural lines, and gentle curves create a sense of quiet elegance, allowing the fragrances to become the protagonists. Rather than competing for attention, the space sets the stage for each scent to tell its own story.
