lenirra villa is a calming retreat embraced by Jakarta’s landscape
e.Re studio architects builds Lenirra Villa, a small-scale resort development situated on a mountainside adjacent to expansive rice fields, approximately two hours from Jakarta. The architectural approach focuses on integrating built structures within the existing natural context to preserve and enhance the site’s environmental characteristics.
The design organizes the villas as separate building volumes connected by a network of pedestrian pathways. These pathways are embedded within the landscape and follow natural contours, creating spatial sequences and visual connections throughout the site.

e.Re studio architects composes stone and exposed brick facades
Material selection by e.Re studio architects’ team emphasizes a natural palette, including stone, exposed brick facades, and dark-toned roof shingles. These materials are chosen to establish a contrast with the surrounding vegetation while maintaining coherence with the site’s rural character.
A key component of Lenirra Villa project is the retention and incorporation of the existing rice fields as both landscape feature and experiential element. This includes the integration of a small river that traverses the site, serving as a functional overflow channel for excess irrigation water from the adjacent paddies. This strategy supports the continued operation of local agricultural systems while contributing to the resort’s environmental character.
