Architecture, interior and landscape design for hospitality shapes the buildings, gardens and rooms that guests move through and that staff must operate. Dijiwa Asia coordinates this work for hotels, resorts and villas in Bali and across Indonesia. Our philosophy is to create environments where people and nature coexist, expressing the identity of each property with environmental sensitivity and operational practicality.
Who this service is for
This service is for owners building a new resort or villa project, or renovating one. It suits those who want architecture, landscape and interiors to read as one design. It also suits owners who value a strong sense of place. Lighting, materials and layout affect both guest comfort and daily running costs, so they are planned with operations in mind.
It also suits owners who want design decisions checked against how the property will run. If you are still defining the overall project, start with Hotel Design & Development.
What is included
We integrate architectural design, landscape artistry and interior aesthetics. The scope of services covers five areas.
- Architecture design and coordination: the form, layout and structure of the buildings, coordinated with the specialist architects on the project.
- Landscape, hardscape, and softscape planning: hardscape is paths, walls and terraces. Softscape is planting. Both are planned together with the buildings.
- Interior styling and furniture curation: the look of the rooms and public areas, and the selection of furniture that suits the concept and daily use.
- Lighting, materials, and spatial optimization: choices of lighting and materials, and use of space so that rooms and service areas work well in practice.
- Environmental impact and sustainability design: design measures that reduce the project’s effect on its surroundings.

How we work with owners
We partner with experts rather than drawing every plan ourselves, including SHL ASIA, Nyoman Miyoga, Binar Lighting and Putri Bali Design.
Sustainability is part of the brief from the beginning. This approach reduces costs while strengthening the property’s market positioning, and it covers design, community and landscape.
Design must also meet the brand standards of the tier the property belongs to. Every Dijiwa Sanctuaries property must meet those standards regardless of tier.
We provide operational input throughout, so designs stay functional, cost-effective and aligned with guest expectations and brand standards.
Frequently asked questions
What is your design philosophy?
It emphasizes environmental sensitivity, collaboration with local artisans and cultural authenticity. Landscape designers use native plants and create gardens that educate guests. Architecture combines modern functionality with local aesthetics. Every design tells a story and connects to place.
What is your approach to sustainability?
Three pillars guide it. Development means environmentally friendly design, local materials, energy efficiency and waste management. Community means employing and educating local people. Landscape means native plants, guest education on ecosystems and protecting local biodiversity.
Do you carry out the design and construction yourselves?
No. Design and construction are coordinated through trusted specialists, including architects, interior designers, landscape firms, MEP consultants and construction companies. Our role is to bring operational input and keep designs aligned with brand standards.
