Creative Retreat at DIKAKI

DIKAKI TOWER HOUSE is a place to rest, to dream, to make and wonder about life and nature. It connects you to the jungle beyond and allows you to escape into your own world, through dreaming, writing, painting or composing. It is a perfect place for the weary and wondering soul. Rest and let the music of Gunung Raya accompany you.

LIVING SCULPTURE | The inspiration of Towerhouse draws from the lush nature and rustic architecture. Each detail and work are also constantly changing and evolving. A growing structure for artists and other creatives to play and rest, it stood as a frontier between Men and Mountain that is home to Langkawi’s most beloved wild life, myths and legends.

ARTISTS’ HABITAT | Home to a family of five creatives; a self-taught carpenter, a gardener + painter, a writer, an entrepreneur and a contextual artist. A treehouse-inspired and home studio where the family could spend time living close to Nature & creating works of art, they decide to share their home to other like-minded creatives through opening a bed & breakfast and (soon to be) artist residency.

LESSONS FROM NATURE | Nature and man made work of art are full of unexpected, beautiful combinations and details, sometime the latter are formed without intention but appear to emerge from somewhere deep in their inner self, a part of a living, breathing ecosystem. Those works of art that weathers, imperfect and vulnerable speaks most of DIKAKI philosophy. Honest works, not necessarily loud or too ambiguous but fits the initial thought and stays true to its inspiration. Not formed by aesthetic or dry doctrines, but rather from a standpoint of public social, historical, economical and natural pressures. That’s where the family hopes to be as art practitioners.
