Times Beach Warung is a Gorrow
Studio project conceived as a
contemporary interpretation of the
traditional Balinese beach warung.
Set beneath the Pura Dalem trees
on Canggu’s waterfront, the open-air
venue was designed to sit lightly
within its setting: informal and
directly connected to the beach.
The project brings together
architecture and interiors to create
a space that feels immediate and
familiar, rather than imposed on
the landscape.
The studio worked with a restrained
palette of tactile, locally familiar
materials and simple structures,
allowing shade, ocean air, sand, and
daily movement to shape the
atmosphere. Low-slung seating and
open edges keep the view and
rhythm of the shoreline central to
the experience, while considered
details give the venue a distinct
identity without losing the ease of
a local warung. Times Beach Warung
is an exercise in restraint: a place
shaped around community, surf, and
slower time. Coffee after a surf, long
afternoons, sunset drinks, and
outdoor film nights unfold within a
setting designed as an everyday
gathering place by the ocean.
