Architecture is an art, a science of building specifically: the art or practice of designing and building structures and especially habitable ones. Bali being a world famous destination for beach enthusiasts, it is just natural that talented architects have built stunning destinations for travellers in need of a cocktail to be enjoyed in the best surroundings.
This is where world renowned architects like Alexis Dornier, Willis Kusuma or Andra Matin came into play. They used their architectural genius to give Katimber’s recycled deckings the best chance to shine. Beach club experiences, the sustainable way.
Masmara Resort by Alexis Dornier.
Alexis Dornier german-born architect loves experimenting with different materials and structures, styles and methods. Alexis’s aesthetic is realised through an iterative design process and careful selection of locally available natural materials. Indeed, there is hardly someone who loves using reclaimed wood more than Alexis Dornier, who used our products for many projects. This is how Masmara Resort was born.
Surrounded by the calming sound of the ocean and the sweet scent of tropical flowers, Masmara provides a memorable experience on a luxury level.

Andra Matin is an architect who is considered as being a major force within contemporary Indonesian and Asian architecture.

No wonder then why from his choice to use reclaimed ironwood came the wonderful outcome of Potato Beach Head.
This famed beach club has a very interesting trademark: sustainability! Indeed, they host their own recycling plastic factory and many elements in the resorts are imagined with nature in mind. Including their Kaltimber decking, of course!
