Arkitrek

"God is in the details".

The Nanga Sumpa Lodge is a jungle lodge set in Batang Ai, Sarawak. The lodge design is inspired by the traditional Iban longhouse and the people’s weaving and craft culture. The building is clad with woven bamboo panels and varying timber screen, which create a playful mosaic of light patterns and rhythms, as well as various levels of transparency throughout the lodge. It’s truly a place to enjoy the serenity and all that nature has to offer.

There is still time to apply for Arkitrek Camp that is taking place on the idyllic island of Pulau Omadal, Sabah, Malaysia on 3rd July – 3rd September 2023.

We’re teaming up with Sabahan artist Yee I-Lann to design and build a much needed Balai Bikin – a community making centre. You get hands-on experience of design and construction, work and live with the locals and forge new friendships on a stunning island.
