The Slow was conceived by Gorrow 
Studio as an experiment in hybrid 
hospitality, a place where architecture, 
art, music, and surf culture could 
coexist as a single living installation. 
Set in the heart of Canggu, the 12-suite 
project combined tropical brutalism
 with a tactile, handcrafted material 
palette, creating a spatial rhythm that 
felt both raw and refined. 
We approached the hotel not as 
accommodation but as an evolving 
cultural vessel: a site where curated 
sound, rotating exhibitions, and 
artisan-built furnishings shaped the 
experience as much as the architecture 
itself.
