Japandi -- What's that?
I was flipping through a home-style magazine & in one of the pages, this word caught my eye.
Well it turns out, it's a new trend of interior design concept, which embraces two powerful concepts of two different region----
JAPan & ScANDInavian = JAPANDI
From Japan--
This design embraces "wabi-sabi"--- a Japanese concept that accepts minimalism & finds beauty in 3 big principles of life ---
○ Nothing is perfect
○ Nothing is complete
○ Nothing is permanent
From Scandinavia--
The Danes live by a principle called "Hygge" - pronounced as "húèga" which celebrates
○ Embracing nature
○ Equality & Togetherness
○ Grace & Gratitude
○ Harmony & Comfort
I then recalled one of the sales managers of a new project of Total Environment, briefly talking about it.
Japanese & Danes are known to be one of the healthiest & happiest people.
These principles are part of their culture & most follow it as their normal way of life.

The Meru Sanur is an all-suites five-star resort located in an area with historical significance dating back to the 1960s, marking the beginning of Bali’s tourism development.
Today, it is part of a region with a vision for health and wellness tourism. The Meru Sanur is rebuilt on its original plot with a new concept. The building consists of three layers with a limasan-style roof. This roof design is a response to the tropical climate.
The resort comprises four separate buildings connected by bridges that are integrated with the landscape, creating a seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces.
The corridors and connecting bridges blend with the landscape, waterscape, and beach views, providing natural airflow that supports the resort’s concept of beauty and healthful energy for guests. All rooms, including bathrooms, have connections to the exterior through terraces or balconies, celebrating the enjoyment, warmth, and beauty of Bali’s tropical climate. We call it: tropical luxury.
We use natural building material, including wood and natural stone, locally sourced , and relevant to the tropical context of Bali and Indonesia.
The building is dominantly clad in wood. We use local woods, such as ironwood and merbau, is applied in many intricate wood joinery details seen in the roof construction detail, columns, walls, and stairs.
Wood is intentionally used as the dominant material both exterior and interior to support the concept of intimate, warm, and local spaces.

Embracing Johor Bahru's Heritage: A Closer Look at Quayside JBCC's Architectural Design
Quayside JBCC isn't just another development in Johor Bahru; it's a tribute to the city's rich heritage and cultural identity. Our architectural approach celebrates the essence of Johor Bahru, drawing inspiration from its history, traditions, and local craftsmanship. Subtle nods to the city's past woven seamlessly into the design.
One of the most striking features of Quayside JBCC is its facade, adorned with motifs reminiscent of leaves and gumbeer cubes. These design elements pay homage to Tan Hiok Née, a prominent figure in Johor Bahru's history known for his contributions to the black pepper and gumbeer trade. By incorporating these motifs into the building's exterior, we're not just creating a visually stunning structure; we're telling a story—a story of Johor Bahru's heritage and the people who shaped it.
But our commitment to honouring Johor Bahru's heritage goes beyond aesthetics. Throughout Quayside JBCC, you'll find spaces designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia and belonging, from the pedestrian-friendly retail areas to the communal gathering spaces around the project. We believe that architecture is more than just buildings; it's about creating environments that resonate with the people who inhabit them and the surrounding community.
As you explore our vision for Quayside JBCC, you’ll appreciate the intricate details and thoughtful touches that reflect the spirit of Johor Bahru. Each element of the design—from the materials being used to the layout of the spaces—has been carefully considered to ensure that Quayside JBCC not only enhances the urban landscape but also enriches the cultural fabric of Johor Bahru.
