Parang Residences is a boutique apartment building in Berawa, Bali that reinterprets local craft through contemporary architecture. The project evolves from a textured brick façade inspired by the parang batik pattern, translating the rhythmic diagonal motif of traditional Indonesian textiles into a layered masonry screen that modulates light, shadow, and privacy.

Set on a compact urban site, the building is organized vertically across four levels with a series of efficient one-bedroom residences and a shared rooftop amenity space overlooking surrounding rice fields. The architecture emphasizes climatic responsiveness and material honesty—deep textures, planted balconies, and carefully calibrated openings create passive shading and cross-ventilation suited to Bali’s tropical environment.
