SKYE Reimagines Jakarta’s Iconic Rooftop Experience

Perched on the 56th floor of BCA Tower, SKYE Rooftop Dining & Lounge has reopened after a thoughtful renovation, ushering in a new chapter for one of Jakarta’s most recognisable rooftop destinations.

Designed by Willis Kusuma, the reimagined interior embraces natural textures, tactile materials, and gently curved lines that guide movement through the space. Layers of brushed metal catch and reflect the changing light, while the architecture remains deliberately understated, framing rather than competing with the panoramic city views.

From the golden light of afternoon to the dramatic hues of sunset and the glittering cityscape after dark, the interiors evolve in harmony with the sky. At the heart of the redesign is a sense of belonging: a space that feels more open, relaxed, and expressive.

And then comes sunset, still one of SKYE’s defining moments. Fifty-six floors above Jakarta, the pace slows as guests sip leisurely and watch the sun dip below the horizon, turning a familiar ritual into a shared pause above the city.

A New Chapter for Adelle Jewellery

Adelle Jewellery has unveiled its newly relocated showroom at Plaza Indonesia, introducing a thoughtfully designed space that reimagines the experience of discovering fine jewellery. Situated on Level 3, the showroom presents a curated selection of natural diamonds and coloured gemstones, complemented by refined interior that balances exclusivity with warmth.

Among the highlights of the showroom is the Diamond Lounge, an intimate setting where clients can enjoy private consultations with jewellery experts over afternoon tea or ch*****ne, reflecting the brand’s personalised approach to hospitality.

The brand’s commitment to sincere and attentive service also came to life during the three-day reopening celebration, where loyal customers and close friends were welcomed through a series of intimate gatherings. Guests explored Adelle’s natural diamond and coloured gemstone collections while enjoying canapés and refreshments, creating an atmosphere that felt both elegant and personal.

Marking this new chapter, the showroom also introduces The Art of Jewellery, featuring Ala Gratia, an art installation conceived by Batsheba Satyaalangghya and realised with kinetic artist Septian Harriyoga. Inspired by the gentle movement of a hummingbird’s wings, the installation embodies grace and strength while interpreting Adelle’s Morning Dew collection as a symbol of purity and new beginnings.

Loek van Emmerik on Designing Hospitality That Lasts –

What makes a hospitality destination truly memorable?

According to Loek van Emmerik, Vice President of Design & Technical Services with decades of experience in luxury hotel and resort development, the answer lies beyond aesthetics. It lies in creating comfort through thoughtful, integrated design.

In his editorial, Hospitality Design Development: A Holistic Approach, Loek explains that successful hospitality emerges from the seamless integration of design, operations, technology, and human experience. Every stage of development, from concept to operation, shapes how guests feel, remember, and return, while enhancing the long-term value of the asset.

Drawing on projects across Europe, the United States, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Asia, including St. Regis, Four Seasons, Fairmont, Raffles, Mövenpick, and Marriott brands, Loek introduces his philosophy of the Three High Ts:

High Tech delivers physical comfort and convenience through technology that works quietly behind the scenes.

High Tea creates environmental comfort through thoughtful design, refinement, and the anticipation of guests’ needs.

High Touch brings emotional comfort through genuine hospitality, meaningful human connection, and attentive service.

Together, these principles advocate a holistic approach in which architecture, interior design, technology, and operations work as one cohesive ecosystem to create memorable guest experiences.

The Bold Future Unfolds at ARCHIDEX 2026 –

Malaysia’s largest architecture and building exhibition, ARCHIDEX 2026, officially opened at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), alongside the ASEAN Real Estate Conference (AREC) 2026. The opening ceremony was officiated by the Minister of Housing and Local Government, YB Tuan Nga Kor Ming, marking the start of one of Southeast Asia’s most influential gatherings for the architecture and building industry.

Part of the Kuala Lumpur Architecture Festival (KLAF), ARCHIDEX is jointly organised by the Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM) and C.I.S, bringing together professional expertise, industry engagement, and business opportunities under one roof.

In his opening remarks, Tuan Nga Kor Ming emphasised that while the government sets policy directions, achieving the Ministry’s vision of Housing with Heart requires collaboration across sectors. He noted that both AREC and ARCHIDEX embody this shared spirit of partnership and innovation.

Echoing this vision, Dato’ Vincent Lim, President of C.I.S, highlighted ARCHIDEX’s continued expansion as more than an increase in scale. A larger platform, he said, creates greater opportunities to discover innovation, build meaningful connections, and generate business impact.

Following the ceremony, the Minister joined Dato’ Vincent Lim and PAM President Ar. IDr Dexter Koh on a tour of selected exhibition highlights, including the AREC zone and the main exhibition halls, where they met exhibitors, explored new building materials, and engaged with representatives across the industry.

Noema Resort Pererenan Embraces the Art of Pause –

Set within the tranquil landscape of Pererenan, Bali, Noema Resort Pererenan marks JHL Collection’s first lifestyle concept, offering a retreat where architecture, interiors, and nature unfold in quiet harmony. Derived from the Balinese word mereren, meaning “to pause and to rest,” Noema reflects a contemporary interpretation of mindful hospitality.

Designed by Christin Castillo of HBA Indonesia, the resort takes inspiration from the natural rhythm of sunrise and sunset. The spatial journey begins with delicate creams, sandy neutrals, and soft greens at the entrance before gradually transitioning into warmer shades of terracotta, burnt orange, and amber deeper within the property, creating an atmosphere that feels increasingly intimate and restorative.

The architecture responds thoughtfully to its approximately 9,000-sqm site. Its elongated form transforms a narrow plot into a layered experience, where sweeping arches frame views of rice fields and distant horizons. A continuous swimming pool becomes the spine of the resort, linking guestrooms that open directly onto the water with others connected to lush gardens and private jacuzzis.

Materiality further reinforces the resort’s serene character. Rammed earth walls, terrazzo surfaces, muted coral hues, warm timber accents, and abundant greenery come together to create spaces that are both tactile and timeless.
