Kemilau Ubud by PSA Studio: Organic Pool and Natural Materials in a Balinese Forest Setting
In 2025, Kemilau Ubud opened its doors in Ubud, Indonesia, covering an impressive area of 1,973 m². Designed by PSA Studio and led by Miwa Negoro, this venue takes visitors on a journey through a tropical forest, complete with a uniquely shaped swimming pool that winds through vibrant landscapes and rivers. Every aspect of the architecture was thoughtfully designed to blend harmoniously with nature, offering an immersive experience. Sustainability is a core focus, with the use of natural materials like wood, stone, and local plants in their original forms. The project involved architects Ario Wirastomo, Ditta Astrini Wijayanti, and others, with technical assistance from Heri Setyawan, and it has been featured on ArchDaily, with photography by Mario Wibowo.
