Well . . . architecturally it’s hard to comment on Sea Sentosa . . . I haven’t seen any of the new drawings . . . understand there have been some changes . . . I certainly did NOT like the faux-Lombok-lumbung rooves appended like random hats on the old design . . . what can one say these days? In Bali these days, anything better than abysmal feels like a blessing.

I’d be interested knowing both Susi’s thoughts and others on the Architecture as they see it now..

There are many and various points above and it’s impossible to address them in any detail. In the end yes, development is inevitable but don’t be fooled by the glossy magazines, 3D renderings, glamorous write ups and the “big name” designers.

Covering god knows how many tonnes of concrete with a green wall is far from responsible and even further from good design! You can also have a bedroom without a window as well if you want. No thank you.

I may not have as much insight into the project as others but from what I have studied this development is NOT good Architecture and is far from it..

I could write all day but I’d rather stay busy doing than talking too much about it..

I do agree with Paul Durkin about the inevitability of development here, and the about the comparative benefits of having it done by professionals who strive for quality, and are aiming for buyers who expect quality and can afford it.

You can’t halt progress on the beach, as everyone gravitates towards the water – SS appears to have had a great deal of planning and design thought applied. It is far better to have a fully integrated and carefully planned development by an experienced developer with the runs on the board as opposed to a piecemeal hodge-podge of unrelated form and function. Several great surf breaks out front and a quality space from which to sit and observe…10 points to the design team on your great vision.

pith is the fiber in the fruit . . . so you want the fiber WITHOUT the juice?

A bit of poetic fun. I am actually a cynical relativist in all things related to… like human stuff.

And Susi… try looking up the word ‘pithy’.
