The Alila Uluwatu by Woha – the last word in tropical modernism.





The Alila Uluwatu is a tropical International School masterwork that is not wholly tropical, I feel.

God is in the details, but elsewhere less evident.

The landscape―by WOHA and Cicada―is appropriate but also underwhelming and a bit typical. The whole thing would be better in a place with an eternal spring climate such as Yunan or Tasmania.

The sun and rain are going to pour in on this one, I fear.
