Sustainability Management

Initially built in the 1960s, Balquisse Heritage has been adapted, renovated, and transformed with continuous values of Indonesian culture and sustainability within architecture, interior design, and service.

Sustainable Building & Design

Existing spaces were entirely renovated with recycled materials and optimized for natural light and air circulation, thus limiting the use of electrical lighting and air-conditioning. In addition, roof structures were entirely redesigned to recuperate rainwater for reuse.

Aside from its original build, all new architectural structures added to the property came from existing systems intended to be entirely transportable. May it be that the property must revert to an entire coconut plantation; it could. Such initiative is seen within The Shaba, built with an old Javanese school structure of windows and doors or the Javanese wooden Gladak rooms installed on beams from the living Mangrove. The property favors its lush coconut plantation and beautiful Mangrove to continue to thrive while we remain simple passages to its beautiful life story.

Cultural Interaction & Heritage

In its interior design aspect, the entire property has been embellished with refurbished Indonesian antiquities. Zohra Boukhari’s adoration for art and history can be found within the whole property, which could be transformed into a museum of Indonesian heritage. Each space is individually infused with the unique luxurious and cultural elegance you expect from Zohra—revealing beautiful interiors with flourishes of the Indonesian Archipelago heritage.

Today, other sustainability causes are implemented such that the hotel follows a strict “no plastic” policy, and employing standards of recycling practices with eco-friendly amenities. Many initiatives continue to evolve with time, such as its future project to revert to solar panel energy.
