We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Faldo Andreo about their original and creative Villa design work. Faldo Andreo is an award-winning architectural designer, that makes our world a better place with their original villa works.
Faldo Andreo ("FA") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Nava 9 Villa. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
FA : This design is inspired by the story of creation mythology of Yggdrasil and its 9 realms. It took the landscape contour as an advantage and put the entrance from upper side of the hill. The floor plan of top level is taken from the image of root which ended up to 9 individual buildings as the image of 9 realms.
FA : User experience. Which in this case are the staying guests to experience entirely different from another oceanview villas. As they stepped from the entrance, guests are welcomed by a non-disrupted wide ocean view as they walk through the skybridge to reach their units. The building it selves has cylindrical form which has all around scenery. A story to tell and share.
FA : I hope this can be a big contribution in architecture and reached by guests all around the world. An accommodation which cannot be found anywhere else.
FA : It took a total of 3 months in concept and another month to finalize from feedback and discussion with the developer.
FA : Actually there is no boundaries nor limitations by the developer, but I did some research and bridging it with their goals. Which looking to the aspect of surroundings, land topography, budget considerations and actual realization.
FA : I am producing this design specifically for this property developer, on this land and for this project.
FA : I am asked to design this particular design by the client.
FA : No. Since originality is very important for me and I believe, especially commercial area/ hospitality, need to be something new that can't be found and felt anywhere else.
FA : This villas is designed to complement the main hotel at Tanjung Siung Lombok, Indonesia. A place that will host international events and multi-sport events.
FA : It is really rare to find something like this as architecture is tailored made for on particular project, concept, market and land.
FA : The name is given by the company as it is the commercial name for this place.
FA : I am using multiple tools for this particular project to achieve the best of it.
FA : The skybridge that connects entrance to each individual villas.
FA : I am discussing this with the property developer team to get a good synchronization as this is will be a part of a large scale project.
FA : Technology helps in planning, achieve good results in presentation, creating simulations and to accurately assess for actual realization.
FA : It is the same as doing every architecture project which need assessing existing data such as topographic, land measurements and etc before stepping to the next stage. It is required data analysis and research study to determine the best possible result.
FA : As this design needs to fit with other buildings as one big project, it requires good synchronization between each other and creating a good harmony.
FA : As this design is made for international guests, international design competitions could help in international recognition/ awareness.
FA : As it requires more advanced results in planning and presentation, this design forced me to learn new software and develop myself to be creative in using multiple software.
