Shell | Pablo Luna Studio
Prix Versailles 2025: The World’s Most Beautiful Restaurants Indonesia / 2022
A key part of the Intaaya retreat complex that sits atop the cliffs overlooking Diamond Beach, this shell is a perfect example of biomimicry – when plants and animals inspire architecture.
There is no décor, since there is never any- thing superfluous in the shapes created by nature.
Innovative bamboo structures with large spans and rammed-earth walls, in forms that are as intricate as they are intriguing, support a cavernous shell that serves as an irresistible invitation to all pearl fishers.
Passive design strategies, including solar and airflow analyses, were the obvious solution here.
Not to mention the choice of bamboo as the primary structural material: its rapid growth, renewability and carbon sequestration capa- bilities endow it with many virtuous proper- ties. Additionally, reclaimed wood from old Javanese houses (joglos) was repurposed into furniture and carpentry.
Like in nature, this resource-efficient shell is almost totally self-sufficient.
For this space, Pablo Luna Studio devised a new type of harmony, based on inventiveness and deep roots.

Élément clé du complexe Intaaya Retreat, au sommet des falaises de Diamond Beach, ce
coquillage est la réussite absolue du biomimétisme, ou quand la faune et la flore inspirent l’architecture.
Il n’y a aucun décor, tant il n’y a jamais rien de superflu dans les formes créées par la nature.
Des structures innovantes en bambou – aux grandes portées, et aussi complexes qu’intrigantes – et des murs en pisé soutiennent une coquille béante, invitation irrésistible pour tous les pêcheurs de perles.
Parmi les stratégies de conception passive, analyses solaires et de ventilation s’imposent comme des évidences.
Mais compter encore le choix du bambou en structure ; sa croissance rapide, sa renouve- labilité et ses capacités de séquestration du carbone en font un matériau paré de vertus, tandis que le bois récupéré d’anciennes maisons javanaises (joglos) a été réutilisé pour la menuiserie.
Comme dans la nature, ce coquillage économe en ressources est quasiment autosuffisant. Pablo Luna Studio a pensé ici une nouvelle harmonie, entre invention et enracinement.
