Of all the projects that A.A. Yoka Sara has worked on, it can be said that they all have one thing in common and that is, each is different. Whether it be a villa, resort or hotel, every building is unique as it reflects the proprietor’s personality integrated into the surroundings, resulting in a harmonious balance of aesthetics and nature. To fully understand his designs, one must understand two themes, human and nature which are essential components of his creations. His designs often take the layout and unusual features of the land into consideration. His deep respect for nature combined with his beliefs of tri hita karana/ balance cosmology, rwa bhineda/ yin-yang, and panca maha buta/ the five elements, inspire him to design more than just a residence. Yoka Sara’s contemporary designs are fine examples of how modern ideas can blend so perfectly in tropical settings.
