About BAR Architects

DSRT Surf Resort, Palm Desert, CA – Site Planning, Building Design, Program

Centered around a Wavegarden Cove surf pool, DSRT Surf offers a man-made surfing and out-of-the-water experiences that are authentically “surf”. Hotel, spa, event, food and beverage, and a variety of land-based programs augment the surfing experience. Inspired by a continuum of Desert Modern architectural history, the design vocabulary embraces materials “of the place”.

 

Pinnacles on Telo, Indonesia – Planning & Design

An eight-bungalow surf resort on its own island, guests begin and end each day by traversing the beach to access a small cluster of modest buildings made from locally sourced woods. The heart of the resort is the lodge, pool and bar. Carefully built around the Pegasus brand of surf hospitality, small format communal experiences are enjoyed both in and out of the water.

 

Tengarra Point Lodge, Indonesia – Planning & Concept Design
