THE COLLABORATION:
SAXON LOOKER: With more than 22 years experience in creating ambitious resort projects, Sentosa Worldwide Resorts Founder Saxon Looker has the unique ability to see a completed development in his minds eye, assembling just the right talent from around the world to realise his vision in everything, from design to culture and service. In 2007, he completed the multi-award-winning Sentosa Private Villas and Spa in Seminyak. In 2008 Saxon teamed up with architects Giacomo Passera from Italy and local Balinese rising star Putu Edy Semara.
“I had an idea of where I wanted to go with the concept for Sea Sentosa,” said Saxon, “but knew I couldn’t get there by myself. By bringing together some incredible artistic talent, this project has exceeded my wildest estimations. It is a tremendous honor to have won ‘World’s Best Apartment’ at the International Property Awards and an acknowledgement and tribute to our amazing team.”
IAN DUFFELL: As CEO of Sentosa Worldwide Resorts, Ian brings a wealth of experience and direction to the group. Ian worked with Richard Branson for 12 years, initially as the CEO of Virgin Asia Pacific and then as the CEO of the Virgin Entertainment Group in the USA. Ian has been at the helm of the Sentosa Group as CEO since 2009.
”At Sea Sentosa we have created a model for integrated resorts of the future. We are offering a luxury resort lifestyle whilst remaining sensitive to the natural environment. Our aim in all our projects is to create a lifestyle community,” said Ian. “We are thrilled to have won ‘World’s Best Apartment’ at the International Property Awards. To be acknowledged among the world’s best is already a huge honor. We are enormously gratified and proud that our work has been recognised internationally as the very best in the industry”.
REDDY HARTADJI: The Bahama Group, led by CEO Reddy Hartadji have been key strategic partners in Sea Sentosa . Their vast construction experience and financial resources have enabled the project to realise its full potential.
”At Sea Sentosa we have been able to raise the International standard of a resort lifestyle experience,” said Reddy. “We are so proud of what we have achieved in Bali and I am excited to announce that we are now bringing the Sentosa experience to the very heart of Indonesia with our latest development, Sentosa Residence Jakarta.”
GIACOMO PASSERA: Italian architect Giacomo Passera’s unique style has been appreciated in Italy, USA, China, Russia and the French Riviera, Giacomo has been especially creative in blending Sea Sentosa into the local environment. Each fully appointed apartment is an example of Italian design, coupled with the finest local Indonesian materials. One of the unique abilities displayed by Giacomo as both an architect and an interior designer is in seamlessly blending the interior and exterior spaces.
PUTU EDY SEMARA worked as the project architect on the award-winning Sentosa Private Villas and Spa in Seminyak and is arguably the most dynamic young architect working in Indonesia today. His environmental appreciation and sensibility allow him to design with the feeling and sense of sanctuary.
”In Sea Sentosa apartments were clearly going to be the best use of the site, this meant that our challenge was to create the most harmonious apartments ever built in Asia,” said Putu Edy Semara. “My true belief is that architecture needs to be sensitive to its surroundings and express the lasting beauty of the natural environment.”
BARGE 8: The International team is further complemented by the culinary expertise of the Barge 8 group from Australia who will be Principals of the Paper Planes Beach Club featuring a Tokyo Pop cuisine, Panarea House, which has the spirit of an Italian Steakhouse and the Lagoon Lounge Restaurant and function facility.
Bondi’s three Barge brothers Matthew, Chris and Tim, plus their adopted Scottish brother Phil, are the brains behind the operation that offers some seriously modern creations from their talented sushi chef. Barge 8 are masters of playing to every sense simultaneously; great food, atmosphere and the best music are all features of the Paper Planes experience.
PATRICK BLANC is the esteemed French botanist, scientist and designer that pioneered the concept of the vertical garden wall – an innovative technique for growing plants on vertical surfaces without the use of soil. His work can be seen on walls around the globe. Blanc states, “I gather inspiration every day from nature” which is inspiring to the majority of us who are simply not used to seeing buildings adorned with greenery to such an extent. Blanc uses his profound knowledge of the world’s extensive selection of plant life, particularly drawing inspiration from flora found in Thailand, Hawaii and Bali.
