Hatch

A colourful, multifaceted venue on the southern coast of Bali. alterplace was part of the team that brought it to life: a constantly evolving playground of nooks and meandering paths that works as a restaurant and public space by day and transforms into a thriving nightspot after dark. Nearly every surface is hand-painted.
