Hotel design and development is the process of taking a hospitality project from site and idea to a finished, opening-ready property. Dijiwa Asia supports investors building hotels, resorts and villas in Bali and across Indonesia. We give technical and creative guidance from concept to completion, so that the project stays feasible, sustainable and profitable.
Who this service is for
This service is for investors and landowners who are developing a new property or repositioning an existing one. Great design defines memorable hospitality, and it must also work as a business.
It suits owners who want one partner to connect architects, interior designers, builders and funders. It is not a replacement for those firms. For the design disciplines themselves, see Architecture, Interior & Landscape Design.
What is included
We collaborate with leading architects and interior designers so that each project’s design, layout and functionality align with its business goals and guest experience vision. The scope of services covers five areas.
- Master planning and architectural coordination: organizing how the site, buildings and guest areas fit together, and coordinating the architects who draw them.
- Interior design direction and procurement advisory: setting the interior brief and advising on the purchase of furniture, fixtures and equipment.
- Construction management and supervision: coordinating and overseeing the specialist construction firms that build the property.
- Sustainability and landscape integration: fitting environmental measures and landscape into the plan from the start rather than adding them late.
- Pre-opening design alignment: a final check that what was built matches the concept and can be operated as intended.
How we work with owners
We act as a strategic partner and project facilitator. We do not execute construction or architectural services directly. We coordinate with specialized firms and provide operational input so that designs are functional, cost-effective and aligned with guest expectations.
For an initial evaluation of a development project, we need site details, the project scope and the development timeline, together with the owner’s objectives. Initial consultations and property evaluations are complimentary.
We contribute in-house expertise in feasibility studies, concept development and operational planning. Our industry experience helps owners avoid costly mistakes, and we guide the process from concept through opening.
For a full walk-through of the phases, read From Concept to Grand Opening and Bali Hotel Design and Development.
