Bali’s natural beauty is a priceless resource that attracts millions of visitors every year. However, Bali is currently facing some major challenges, notably urban development, and the pressure it is putting on natural resources, as well as the consequences of climate change.
That’s why building sustainable projects is so important for keep Bali beautiful.So, in this article, we’ll look at 5 simple ways to build a sustainable project in Bali, including some inspiring examples of projects in collaboration with Fullers Properties that illustrate the commitment to a greener, more sustainable future on this island paradise.
Dear developers, get your pens ready!
First point: “Preserve the existing biodiversity on the site of your project” The Heights
Preserving biodiversity is crucial in all projects to maintain ecological balance and guarantee long-term sustainability.
And more and more projects have understood this, like The Heights.
The Heights is a residential project in the middle of a 50-year-old mango tree plantation. The aim of this project is to preserve these trees and at the same time conserve the beauty and ecosystem of the island.
The entire project has been created around these trees, and if any of them really get in the way of the construction work, they will be moved, but certainly not cut down.
They will also be using the trees for their restaurant, cooking the mangoes that grow from them, as well as for the very pleasant and rare shade they will bring to the site.
Second point “Set up an eco-responsible way of using or obtaining water” Villa Krtajna :
Water is an increasingly scarce resource on the island of Bali, so it’s very important to preserve it and find more sustainable ways of obtaining and using it. With this goal, Villa Krtajna has installed a rainwater harvesting tank that can collect up to 450,000 liters in a normal year. This tank, combined with a filtration system, is designed to supply all the water points in the house (showers, pool, dish water) with healthy, drinkable water. The tank is buried underground and connected to the ground, as well as to the planted rooftop that collects the water.
In other words, once again there’s no waste: energy is collected in an eco-responsible way, used, recycled and then reused in a completely healthy way. This process is 100% sustainable.
Third point “Using energy sustainably and intelligently” Villa Krtajna :
Bali benefits from sustainable resources such as the Sun, thanks in particular to its intensive exposure to it. Exploiting this renewable energy in an ecological and sustainable way represents a significant opportunity. By capitalizing on this natural resource, we can not only meet our energy needs, but also actively contribute to preserving the environment.
With this mind, Villa Krtajna has installed 12kW solar panels on its roof. These solar panels supply all the house’s electrical installations in a sustainable way, but thanks to its new age metering system, they also collect excess electricity and sell it every month to the local electricity network for the benefit of neighboring houses.
Fourth point “Design and positioning the house correctly” The Wooden House
The temperature in Bali is an important factor to consider when building your project. The first instinct is to install air conditioners, but there are other, more eco-responsible ways of making the air in your home more bearable.
Just like Wooden House, all you must do is position your house correctly on the site and build it according to a particular design based on the exposure of the land. Wooden House is proof that it is possible to live in a house in Bali without an air conditioner, simply by using the wind to create a continuously cross ventilation.
Fifth point: “Recycle local waste and avoid creating more” The Wooden House Mahamaya Resort
Plastic pollution is a hot topic in Bali and on the Indonesian islands in general. This pollution is omnipresent, so it’s important to include in your project a process for collecting and recycling this waste by creating partnerships with organizations like SungaiWatch to help you clean up the environment around your property and make it healthy.
If the environment doesn’t seem polluted, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do – on the contrary, you should contribute to keeping it that way. By creating your home using recycled materials, like the Wooden House, or by not including any polluting plastics or containers in your structure, like the Mahamaya Resort.
You can also create your own compost to create an edible plant garden by recycling your food waste as does the Villa Krtajna.
CONCLUSION
In Bali, where the connection with nature is at the heart of the culture and way of life, sustainable projects such as The Heights, Villa Krtajna or Wooden House play a crucial role in preserving the environment, protecting the natural and cultural heritage, and promoting responsible and respectful tourism.
By building sustainable projects in Bali, we are investing in the future of this beautiful island and its community. We are committed to preserving its unique natural heritage while providing modern, comfortable living spaces.
