Description

This is a competition to design a resort complex in Palm Spring Golf Course, Nongsa, Batam Island with an area of 16 ha. THE LIGHTHOUSE RESORT tries to capture the spirit of Batam. It is an emerging transport hub island with fourteen ferry terminals. The growing importance of this city requires a landmark to distinct itself from the surrounding and change the image of the island from an underdeveloped region into a bustling and modern city, equiped with full world class facilities. Batam is moving towards the future. Therefore, THE LIGHTHOUSE RESORT embodies a futuristic design to usher Batam and its citizens to its brighter future. Before, the people of Batam could only envy the skyline of Singapore and Johor Baru. But, with this new monumental design, Batam will no longer be just spectator but also has its own stunning skyline. The site offers so opportunities: the beatiful beach, long coastline, countour varieties, and existing golf course. Combine with ambitious mixed-use complex programming to accomodates growing tourists, THE LIGHTHOUSE RESORT project tries to treat the site with a touch of design that could “reconstruct the Whole, resurrect the Real, reinvent the collective, reclaim maxium possibility” (Rem Koolhaas | S,M,L,XL) The team: Gideon Sutanto, Michael Joanes, Reynold Adi Putra
