Nu Ciwalk





Located along jalan Cihampelas, The Ciwalk Boutique Hotel is a new extension of the old Ciwalk shopping area.

DCM Jakarta observes the tradition of Art Nouveau and Art Deco of Old Bandung, and transforming the hotel and its new lifestyle extension into a series of curvilinear lines forming feminine forms.

We saw the opportunity to contrast these soft shapes with the current macho expressionist streetscape along Jalan Cihampelas, where the streetscape consists of a series thematic Jeans shops (from Rambo to Planet Hollywood).

Ciwalk (Cihampelas Walk) is a 4 hectare site previously used as parking. Parking is now relocated in basements, the new hotel raise above them. Matured trees are preserved; hence we have to adjust the layouts of f & b outlets to avoid these 100 year old pines, hence creating interesting courtyards in between shops and cafes.

Shops are linked by naturally ventilated double Decker walkways, creating a new outdoor loop.

Ciwalk is designed as an alternative lifestyle centre free of vehicular traffic.
The hotel public areas and corridors will be naturally ventilated (no air conditioning).
Hotel bedrooms have the option of opening their doors to balcony.
This is conducive to the mild and cool climate of the city of Bandung.

Sun shading is enhanced by creating deep balconies for bedrooms.
Additional matured trees will be transplanted into the site to create canopies around the walkways.

Ciwalk is an experiment to bring people closer to nature and the outdoor, in an urban setting.

The hotel is designed to observe old Bandung in style, and project the architecture to a future of less energy consumption by creating deep balconies and arrow ventilations on all floors and public facilities.
