Datai Hotel Pulau Langkawi, Malaysia I. Introduction

Jalan Teluka Datai is a five-star resort hotel in Pulau Langkawi, Malaysia, situated on a ridge within a lush rainforest near the sea. The hotel contains 124 guest modules, arranged as rooms within blocks of accommodation and as free-standing villas. The design of the resort is extremely sensitive to the fragile environment in which it is set, and demonstrates how a fairly large intervention can be built within a tropical rainforest which allows nature to reclaim the terrain after construction. The buildings themselves are fine examples of a synthesis between traditional forms and materials and the rigour of modern architecture.

II. Contextual Information a. Historical background

Langkawi is a popular tourist resort island in northern Malaysia, with numerous hotels. The Datai is isolated from other hotels on the island and was built with support from the Malaysian Tourism Ministry, who were keen to develop an ‘upper-end’ hotel resort. The government’s support took the form of a 30-kilometre stretch of concrete road, built specifically to open up the northern part of the island, which was otherwise inaccessible.

b. Local architectural character

The local Malaysian buildings are usually built on stilts or on a heavy stone base to protect them from damp in the ground. Pavilion-like in composition, these buildings have sloping roofs with generous overhangs to keep off the rain. The demarcation of interior and exterior spaces is flexible, in order to enable breezes to pass through the building and allow adaptability for a multiplicity of uses according to the time of day and season. Timber is extensively used due to the great natural resources of the forests, where an array of good building woods are readily available.

c. Climatic conditions

The region is characterized by a very hot and humid climate, with little variation throughout the year. Temperatures average 30oC, and typically there are tropical showers every afternoon. During the monsoon season, stretching from November to February, rain might fall throughout the day. In a local city such as Bandar the microclimate varies marginally between the coastal areas, hill locations and valleys that comprise the landscape. Within the adjoining tropical forests, the humidity levels are extremely high and the penetration of light is often limited due to both the dense foliage and the generally overcast sky conditions.

d. Immediate surroundings and topography of the site

The site comprises 750 hectares of untouched rainforest and has four important natural features: the sea and coral reef, the beach, the rainforest itself, and a well-developed and sensitive ecosystem of swamps, streams and wildlife. A distinctive feature of the site is a ridge, on which the major portion of the hotel was eventually situated. The site drops sharply from the ridge to the waterfront. The height of the trees in the rainforest makes it difficult to discern the topography, as the foliage invariably grows to a consistent level. As a result, the topography and the abrupt fall of the land in some parts of the site only become apparent within the forest itself.

III. Programme

The programme was essentially that of a five-star resort built within a lush rainforest. The hotel contains 124 guest modules, of which 40 are free-standing villas and 84 are rooms and suites arranged around a swimming pool and linked by open walkways. Besides the guest rooms, the resort contains three restaurants, a spa, a beach house with changing rooms, shops, an office, and a library, as well as the usual service areas, such as generator rooms, kitchens, a store, a water-purifying plant and an air-conditioning plant. These facilities are distributed around the site, the majority being located close to the ridge where the bulk of the functions are situated. The programme was evolved simultaneously with the design development to ensure a programmatic fit between the requirements necessary to make the hotel viable and the architect’s quest to distribute the buildings in a way that would minimize their bulk. Thus the objective of the programme was to create a functioning and efficient luxury resort in an isolated setting, while leaving the tropical forest as undisturbed as possible.

IV. Description a. Building data

The hotel contains 84 rooms and 40 villas totalling 124 guest modules. The buildings are of varying scales according to their location on the site. The bulkiest element is the guest-room accommodation, located on the ridge and broken up into four large blocks connected by walkways. The various restaurants and other facilities, such as the spa and beachside changing rooms, are housed in medium-sized buildings, configured as pavilions so that they are transparent and their bulk and impact on the site are minimized. The smallest buildings are the villas, which are individual units on the scale of small houses, located on the lower slopes of the site between the ridge and the beach. A typical room is 56 square metres in area, with independent access via a detached open walkway. Accessing the rooms through individual walkways creates a great sense of privacy. The walkways are architectural elements in themselves and are open on each side to admit

2

generous shafts of light, again creating a sense of transparency and blurring the boundaries between inside and outside.

The public areas of the hotel sit on the ridge overlooking a plaza created by the swimming-pool deck. This clearing in the forest is the heart of the resort and is exquisitely designed with water features, natural vegetation and paved connections to the various functions. Below the decks is enclosed accommodation arranged over a number of levels, according to the slope of the site, and housing indoor services such as the health club and gym. The total built area of the resort (at all levels) is 32,850 square metres, on a site area of 220,000 square metres.

b. Evolution of design concepts

Besides fulfilling the requirements of a luxury hotel, the single most important issue that the project confronted was how to make a responsible design intervention within untouched tropical rainforest. The proprietors chose to locate the hotel in the heart of the forest and the architect was involved in the selection of the site. He clearly appreciated its features – the ridge, the forest, the beach, the streams and other natural features – and went to great lengths to safeguard these. Early in the design process the architect decided to move the hotel away from the waterfront in order to minimize its impact on the beach. He chose instead to place the complex on the ridge, not only providing spectacular views but also leaving a greater portion of the forest undisturbed. As a result, the hotel is in the heart of the topical forest yet with easy access to the waterfront. This has been an extremely successful strategy as it forces the visitor to walk through the rainforest and enjoy the remote seclusion of the site, reinforcing the quality of the hotel as an exclusive resort.

Another important design decision was to fragment the hotel into free-standing buildings, some in the form of open pavilions, and to introduce a number of isolated villas, reducing the mass of the buildings by spreading them across the site and minimizing their visual impact on the forest. This also allowed for easy adjustments on site to avoid the felling of trees and enable the accommodation to work naturally with the topography of the land. The buildings sit either on solid stone bases or on stilts. They are layered horizontally through the use of different materials or structural systems, and this gives them a sense of lightness in the way they sit on the site. The visual bulk of the buildings is essentially broken down through dispersal of their massing and also through layering in terms of detail and scale. The level of intricacy of the detailing varies greatly according to the space and this helps to create a sense of visual fragmentation as well as individual identity. Generous use is made of overhangs, verandas and open pavilions and this was an appropriate response climatically as well as visually. The villas have their own patios, decks and verandas. In the guest rooms, the introduction of a transitional alcove between the veranda and the room creates a sense of spaciousness and allows for adjustments to the climate. This space can either be closed off from the veranda to become a sitting area within the room or closed off from the room to make a large seating platform that is part of the veranda. This

3

allows the space to be used flexibly at different times of day and to be adjusted for air-conditioning or natural ventilation depending on the season and the weather. The task of building in a tropical forest is a difficult responsibility. When trees are cleared to make way for a building, there is a ‘festering wound’ effect whereby species on the perimeter that are not resistant to ultraviolet rays begin to burn out. This effect can be mitigated through the planting of pioneering species – trees that grow very fast, blocking the ultraviolet rays to the adjoining trees and allowing existing (often slow-growing) species to survive. Once the other trees have taken root, the pioneering species usually give way – re-establishing the ecology of the forest. The architect designed and modulated the buildings in the resort in consideration of this process.

c. Structure, materials, technology

The larger buildings, which accommodate the guest rooms and some of the restaurants, are built on stone bases with reinforced cement concrete (RCC) frames and timber verandas, walkways and roofs. Free-standing units such as the restaurant pavilions, the swimming pool facilities and the spa, are built in stone and timber. Often trees that were felled on site were used as columns or stilts to support these structures. In many cases, the tree trunks have been left in their original form, with only the rough edges finished, so that visitors experience colonnaded areas as extensions of the forest. The roofs are framed entirely in timber, supporting timber boarding and shingles. The load-bearing walls are constructed in rubble excavated from the site or brought in from local quarries. The use of concrete and steel is minimal and visually these materials have no presence. The brick walls that are used for infill panels are finished and rendered in plaster. The complex is designed to minimize the effluents that go out into the sea or the jungle. A recycling plant has been created as well as localized soak pits and septic tanks to allow filtered seepage of water back into the forest. The hotel does not use any alternative methods of power, such as solar panels, and relies on the government grid for electricity and other utilities. The resort has its own bore wells to supply water, and some rain is harvested.

d. Origin of technology, materials, labour, professionals

The technology employed for the buildings is a sophisticated combination of traditional methods of construction and contemporary approaches. The synthesis of these vocabularies is achieved with great elegance. For example, the unplaned tree trunks used for columns, trusses and beams are assembled with more care than they would be in a traditional building – it is clear that there is an aspiration to achieve perfection in putting together traditional materials. Alignments, levels of finish, joinery, the materials used and the way they are combined all coalesce to create an incredibly elegant and sophisticated structural vocabulary.

All the materials are locally available. Wood is one of the main components and much of it was either felled on site or bought locally. A variety of hardwoods available in Malaysia is used for finishing as well as for structural elements.

Local Malaysian contractors built the project using local skilled and unskilled labour from Langkawi. Others in the profession have noted that it is extremely unusual in Malaysia to achieve the level of finish evident in this complex. This has set an important precedent in construction quality for the region. The principal consultants, the architect and interior designer, were based in Singapore and France respectively, while a local firm, Akitek Jururancang Sdn Bhd, handled the project site, coordinating the engineering and construction. The architect, Kerry Hill, posted assistants to the area throughout construction to ensure that details were correctly translated.

V. Construction Schedule and Costs

The project commenced in 1991 and the hotel was occupied in 1993. Considering the location of the project and the logistical problems of building in the forest, the construction schedule achieved is remarkable. As with any resort hotel, additions and expansions continue, and villas and other facilities such as the spa are still being added. The clients have referred to the original architects for all of these works to date. The total cost of the project was USD 35,000,000. While the resort is extremely well maintained with regular painting of the interior, it was not possible to ascertain the exact cost of annual maintenance from the architect or the management.

VI. Technical Assessment a. Functional assessment

The complex works exceedingly well as an exclusive resort set in the thick of a tropical forest. Because it is spread out over such a large area and fragmented over the site, it affords a great deal of privacy to its occupants. Furthermore, as most circulation paths are within the tropical forest, they are well-shaded and pleasant areas to walk and create dramatic visual connections between buildings. The site planning also allows the user to see many beautiful vistas and experience moments within the forest, as well as engaging with views of the larger landscape. Architecturally, as most public spaces (restaurants, the beachside facilities, etc.) are located in pavilions, they remain cool with an open interplay between inside and outside space. The buildings are well situated in their context in terms of both their style and use of material so that, while experiencing the tropical forest, users can also enjoy an elegant and sophisticated architectural statement.

b. Climatic performance

Having employed a traditional vocabulary that has evolved over the years in response to its particular climate, this complex quite naturally works very efficiently in climatic terms. Although the rooms and some of the restaurants are air-conditioned, they also function exceedingly well as naturally ventilated rooms because they are designed for cross-

5

ventilation. Even elements such as the approach corridor or walkways are bathed in light and air, being treated as bridges between light wells. As a result, users enjoy not only a great sense of ceremony – like traversing a large stage-set – but also well-lit and ventilated spaces.

The large overhangs and generous roofs over all the spaces protect them very efficiently from rain as well as the sun. Even during very heavy rainfall virtually all windows can be kept open and the interiors remain dry. Rain is channelled through some of the natural streams on the site and fed into a creek. The verandas that wrap around all the units act as wonderful buffers from both the rain and the sun, making the buildings climatically adaptable. The designer has been extremely responsible in dealing with the problems of making an intervention within the rainforest and was acutely aware of the damage that some inevitable felling might cause. As a result, not only have the buildings been carefully positioned to minimize tree felling but also supplementary planting was immediately carried out to mitigate the effects of the buildings and of clearing the site. Pioneering species were generously planted beside the buildings where an opening had been made in the forest in order to protect exposed older species that were not tolerant of the ultraviolet rays of the sun. This process has been extremely successful and the older species are beginning to stabilize around the edges of the complex. Water has been intelligently channelled through the site and is collected in natural creeks and runaways. These features were safeguarded and, when building over a creek was unavoidable, the structure was designed as a bridge to allow the creek to pass below it. The natural topography and storm water drainage system of the site has been left undisturbed, allowing the original catchment and flow patterns to be sustained.

The trees that were felled from the site were recycled for use within the structures. Trained elephants were used to fell the trees because they can penetrate the forest with minimal damage in comparison to, say, a bulldozer. The hotel has taken maximum advantage of its location in the rainforest and an in-house horticulturist/naturalist takes guests on tours to see the local flora and fauna. This activity is supplemented by publications sponsored by the hotel to make occupants aware of the diversity and richness of the plants and wildlife in the forest. The hotel has been supporting many environmental causes in the area and is in the process of setting up a project to compare the productivity of 0.4 hectares of forest and 0.4 hectares of agricultural land. This includes experimenting with honey tapping, using fallen branches for handicrafts, etc. The hotel and its horticulturist are confident they will prove that tropical forest can be as productive in economic terms as agricultural land.

c. Ageing and maintenance

The complex has been designed to weather naturally. The patina of age is already evident on railings and exposed wooden members, which are not painted or polished on a regular basis but allowed to age gracefully – a natural characteristic of the hardwoods in the area.

6

Similarly, the stone used for the base of the buildings not only allows creepers to grow naturally over it, but is also hardy in terms of weathering and requires minimal maintenance.

The areas that require maintenance, such as the plaster and painted wall surfaces, are well protected by the generous overhangs of the roofs and have been weathering extremely well. On the whole, the maintenance of the complex is impeccable – assisted by the intelligent design, which has mitigated the effect the weather would naturally have on buildings located in the tropics and in a rainforest.

d. Design features

The outstanding design features of the Datai resort are as follows: − The decision not to build on the waterfront but to pull the hotel back to the ridge – a

great risk for a hotel that markets itself as a beach resort. Building on the highest point allowed the slopes of the hill to be left intact.

− The breaking down of the building massing in order to minimize the bulk at any one point on the site – a design strategy that has resulted in an excellent fit between the programme and the site.

− The creation of naturally lit and ventilated walkways (in preference to enclosed, double-loaded corridors) – a feature that allows visitors to experience the periphery of the forest as they approach their rooms.

− The use of wood and materials that bind the textures of the buildings to their locale, resulting in an extremely humane complex.

The only criticism that could be made of the design approach is the extreme contrast between the main block and the villa area, further emphasized by the grand stair connecting the two levels. The gesture of the grand stair seems excessive and is actually detrimental to the otherwise quiet configuration and scale of most elements on site. The staircase also accentuates the level difference between the ridge and the villa area below, making the climb up to the main building seem extremely cumbersome. The interior design and furnishing of the buildings not only complements but enhances the architecture. The interior designer was involved from the inception of the design process and actually initiated some of the architectural elements, such as the principal railing that forms a motif throughout the hotel. Local woods have been extensively used in the interiors and, as these woods also form the predominant building material, the interiors pick up the textures of the structure itself. At the same time, the styling of the interiors, the furniture and the accessories in the rooms and restaurants extend the palette of materials used in the complex. There is a positive synergy between the interiors and the architecture, creating a seamless integration between the two.

VII. Users

The users of the hotel are rich tourists from all over the world. Germans, Australians and Japanese make up the greater part of the clientele but visitors also come from other countries

7

in South-East Asia and Europe and from the United States. There are not many local tourists, but the resort does provide employment for local people from Langkawi. The staff of the hotel is generally from Langkawi, with the exception of the manager and senior staff, who have been sourced from other countries because of their specific expertise.

The response by the users of the resort has been extremely good and there are a number of repeat clients, with some families using the hotel as an annual retreat. Most of the users and clients say that this is their favourite of all the many resorts in South-East Asia.

VIII. Persons involved

Besides the owners of the hotel, who acted as patrons, the driving force in this project was the architect, Kerry Hill, and his colleagues in the firm Kerry Hill Architects. He was involved in the selection of the site as well as in assisting the management in developing the programmatic content of the complex. The structural engineer, Rahulan Zain, also played an important role in negotiating the terrain and working out the logistics of building in a remote location such as this. The integration of recycled wood into the structure of the hotel was also an important contribution. Didier Lefort, (Principal, Didier Lefort Architects) designed the interiors of the hotel and also contributed many ideas for the architectural detailing. The interiors have made a considerable contribution in harmonizing with and enhancing the architecture. Administration is largely handled by the manager, Jamie Case, who has been running the hotel since its inception. He has been extremely influential in making the hotel function efficiently as a set of buildings. His contribution in maintaining the complex and in encouraging its users to fully experience the hotel and site is crucial to the project’s success and popularity. From the environmental perspective, a key person in the evolution of the site development was Dr Appanah, a scientist with the Malaysian Forest Research Institute. Dr Appanah advised the architect and owners on which trees should be felled and how the replacement process should be implemented and was responsible for re-establishing areas of forest where felling was necessary.
