在巴厘岛西南部，Pererenan 被稻田、巷道与庙宇环绕，节奏缓慢，远离观光区的喧嚣。而这里，正是Further的所在——一家呈现为 Diffused Hotel（分散式酒店）形态，与村落日常呼吸交织的空间。创始人Claudio Cuccu与妻子Martine McGrath以及四个孩子也一起生活在这里。

In the southwest of Bali, Pererenan is surrounded by rice fields, small lanes, and temples, moving at a slow rhythm far from the noise of tourist areas. This is where Further belongs— a Diffused Hotel that weaves itself into the daily life and breath of the village.Founder Claudio Cuccu lives here with his wife Martine McGrath and their four children.

Further的空间界面是面向社区开放，没有刻意划定“住客专属区域”，人们的出入方式不会因为经营而有所限制，路径依旧延续在原有的日常轨迹上。“我们没有要求他们搬迁，而是选择在他们周围建造。”Claudio 和我们分享，"Bar Vera 的台阶依旧是邻居遛狗的路径；展演空间前的空地是孩子们踢球的地方；隔壁的 warung（小卖部）依旧照常营业"

从生活节奏转变开始的故事

A Story Born from a Change in Rhythm

Further 的故事，并不是从构思一个品牌开始的，而是源于生活节奏的一次自然转向。早在2009 年，Claudio 就在 Pererenan 建造了自己的第一座别墅Red Door ，与当地社区建立起深厚的联系。多年后，他与妻子去到更繁华的地区 Canggu 运营 The Slow 并取得成功后，他们选择离开，将项目转让给了商业伙伴。因为那一年迎来了第一个孩子——家庭节奏改变了他们对时间与空间的理解。

The story of Further did not begin with the intention to create a brand, but with a natural shift in life’s rhythm. In 2009, Claudio built his first villa, Red Door, in Pererenan, establishing a deep connection with the local community. Years later, after he and his wife successfully ran The Slow in Canggu, they decided to step away and pass the project to their business partner, as that was the year they welcomed their first child—a change in family rhythm that reshaped their understanding of time and space.

意大利演员Alessandro Borghi（左）是这里的代言人，也是创始人Claudio Cuccu（右）的朋友，“Claudio 非常了解这个岛。随着时间的推移，他教会了我以尊重的态度体验它。他让我相信，这里是开设一家非传统酒店的理想之地"

离开 Canggu 后，他们回到最熟悉的土地。“我们没有明确的计划，只是顺着生活走，回到一个身体已经记得的节奏里。”Claudio 说。而 Further 的诞生并不是 The Slow 的延续或升级，而是一种由外而内的转向——去做一些“更进一步”（go further）的事情。这一理念也成为品牌的标语：“Stay Further”。正如 Claudio 所说：“我们不是为了让所有人称赞而创造，而是为了真实地反映我们是谁、以及我们希望成为谁，就像我们的家庭和孩子一样，这是我们的延续。”

After leaving Canggu, they returned to the land they knew best. “We didn’t have a set plan—we simply followed life back to a rhythm the body already knew,” Claudio says. Further was not conceived as an extension or upgrade of The Slow, but as an inward shift—to “go further.” That idea became both the name and the tagline: Stay Further. As Claudio puts it, “We are not creating something everyone will praise us for. We are creating something that reflects who we are, and who we want to be—just like our family and our children, this is our legacy.”

建筑的核心材料是来自Tabanan 地区的手工黏土砖，这是一种巴厘岛使用已久的材料，被用在外立面与室内细部，让建筑看起来“像是从地里长出来的”，既当代又向在地文化致敬。Claudio告诉我们：“这里大多数地方偏好抛光混凝土、白色调、热带极简主义，而我们想要更温暖、有触感与韵味的东西，让人们在空间中真实感受到这些质感”

散落于村庄的生活片段

Everyday Fragments Across the Village

在Further，很难用传统的“酒店”来定义它。它由四栋功能独立却气息相连的建筑组成，散布在 Pererenan 村庄的街区之间。灵感源自意大利的 Albergo Diffuso（分布式酒店）概念，强调的是横向渗透，而非集中发展的模式。

The story of Further did not begin with the intention to create a brand, but with a natural shift in life’s rhythm. In 2009, Claudio built his first villa, Red Door, in Pererenan, establishing a deep connection with the local community. Years later, after he and his wife successfully ran The Slow in Canggu, they decided to step away and pass the project to their business partner, as that was the year they welcomed their first child—a change in family rhythm that reshaped their understanding of time and space.

目前，25间套房分布在两栋相邻的建筑内，涵盖五种房型。其余建筑则承载着餐饮、零售与文化功能，每一处空间都对应着不同的生活片段。

At present, the 25 suites are spread across two adjacent buildings, offering five room types. The remaining buildings host dining, retail, and cultural functions, with each space representing a different fragment of daily life.

在这些建筑之间，没有刻意的围墙或明确的方向指引——动线延续着村庄原有的走动方式，一切都是自然而然地展开。住客在步行中经过当地的房屋、庙宇与小店，被轻轻的邀请着，慢慢地融入整个村落最日常的氛围之中。正如 Claudio 所说：“如果你在这里的早餐在一栋楼，下午的泳池在另一栋楼，你就会穿行在村庄中，遇见巴厘岛人，看到他们有多美好。”

Between these buildings, there are no deliberate walls or explicit directional signs—the movement follows the village’s existing walking patterns, unfolding naturally. As guests walk, they pass local homes, temples, and small shops, gently invited to slow down and blend into the everyday atmosphere of the village. As Claudio says, “If you have breakfast in one building and spend the afternoon by the pool in another, you’ll find yourself moving through the village, meeting Balinese people, and seeing how beautiful they are.”

慢下来，建筑与土地一起呼吸

Slowing Down, Breathing with the Land

Further 的建筑由意大利建筑事务所 MORQ 设计。Claudio 与 Martine 并未寻找只强调视觉风格的事务所，而是希望找到一个能理解“节奏与关系”的伙伴。一次朋友的推荐让他们结识了 MORQ，但促成合作的原因，不仅在于他们作品呈现的风格，更在于他们具备耐心与敏感度去感知土地。

The architecture of Further was designed by the Italian studio MORQ. Claudio and Martine were not looking for a practice that focused solely on visual style, but for a partner who could understand “rhythm and relationships.” A friend’s introduction led them to MORQ, yet the decision to collaborate was based not only on the style of their work, but also on their patience and sensitivity in reading the land.

建筑呈现出一种内敛的姿态——设计中没有设定主入口，也没有刻意制造归属感。屋檐之间保留光与风的通道，墙体之间的距离顺应原有小路的位置；树木未被移除，而是调整房间角度去让位，每一个开口都由时间决定

每一处空间都对应着不同的生活片段：Bar Vera 是傍晚及夜间营业的半开放式餐厅与酒吧，灵感源自巴黎小酒馆；ST. ALi 则在白天提供咖啡与轻食，将日间的节奏引入社区；冲浪板工坊 Thomas Surfboards 与服饰品牌 Smile Clothing 共享空间，静静坐落在街巷尽头，面向更本地的使用节奏；Oaken Lab 香薰实验室与 Martine 主导的器物项目共同构成感官体验的核心；还有展演空间不定期对外开放，成为邻里聚会与创作者交流的场域。

With each space representing a different fragment of daily life: Bar Vera is a semi-open restaurant and bar that operates in the evenings, inspired by the conviviality of Parisian bistros; ST. ALi brings coffee and light fare to the community during the day; the surfboard workshop Thomas Surfboards shares a retail space with the apparel brand Smile Clothing, quietly located at the end of a village lane and attuned to a more local rhythm; the fragrance lab Oaken Lab and the Objects project led by Martina together form the core of Further’s sensory experience; and the exhibition and performance space opens periodically to the public, becoming a place for neighborhood gatherings and exchanges among creatives.

在地合作也是设计的重要组成部分。所有砖材由村里的小型作坊烧制并定制颜色——“他们之前从来没做过这种设计，是大家一起开发出了所有的颜色，这都是我们非常珍视的部分。”Claudio总结道，“所以 Further 不只是建在这个村子里，而是和这个村子一起建造出来的。”

Working with the local community was also central to the design. All bricks were produced by a small village kiln with custom colors developed together—“They had never done this kind of design before, so we created all the colors together, and that’s something we really treasure,” Claudio says. Claudio reflects. “So Further was not just built in this village—it was built together with it.”

Claudio 说，木质家具由隔壁村的木匠共同完成，许多合作甚至延伸到生活往来 ——“他们邀请我们去家里吃饭，这已经远远超出了普通的工作关系，更像家人”

让生活自然延伸进社区

Life Flowing Naturally into the Community

在 Further，没有典型意义上的“团队”架构。这里的日常由一群不断变化的实践者共同维系——调香师、陶艺家、声音艺术家、面包师、摄影师、咖啡师……他们有的短暂停留，有的往来多年，也有人在成为这里的一部分后悄然离开。他们带着各自的方法与节奏进入，也留下属于自己的文化痕迹。“我们没有头衔、没有岗位表，也没有分工图。”Claudio 说，“只有一群以自己的方式出现在这里的人。”

At Further, there is no “team” in the conventional sense. Daily life is sustained by a shifting group of practitioners—perfumers, ceramicists, sound artists, bakers, photographers, baristas… some stay briefly, some return over years, and others quietly move on after becoming part of the place.Each brings their own methods and rhythms, leaving behind traces of their culture. Together, they form the Further Collective, a loose yet genuine network of relationships. “We have no titles, no job descriptions, no org charts,” Claudio says. “Only a group of people who show up here in their own way.”

Claudio 回忆起初期的一幕：“有些人不爱开会，但每天早上都会来厨房泡一壶咖啡，检查灯光、照看植物——那就是他们照看这个地方的方式。Collective 的存在方式更接近日常——悄无声息的照料、重复的手工操作、不求留下痕迹的付出。“我们不需要被看见，但我们希望人们知道，有人在这里认真生活过”

感官织就的在场感

Presence Woven Through the Senses

在 Further，感官体验并非附加在空间之上的“装饰”，而是与建筑和日常紧密交织的部分。由Martine 主导的 Object 项目，涵盖床品、陶器、香薰、织物等生活器物，大多与本地或长期合作的创作者共同完成 —— 手工陶杯由邻村的陶艺家烧制，亚麻织物在日晒下保留了微妙的褪色感，香氛则由雅加达品牌 Oaken Lab 为 Further 定制，并提供可循环的补充。“我们不想用那些完全陌生的物品去填满房间，” Martine 说，“每一样东西都应该能被日常使用、被触摸，而不是只是摆设。”

At Further, sensory experience is not an “add-on” to the space—it is interwoven with its architecture and daily life. Led by Martine, the Object project encompasses bed linens, ceramics, scents, and textiles, most created in collaboration with local or long-term partners. Handcrafted clay cups are fired by potters from a neighboring village; linen fabrics retain subtle sun-faded tones; scents are custom-made for Further by Jakarta-based Oaken Lab, complete with a refillable system.“We don’t want to fill the rooms with objects that feel completely foreign,” Martine says. “Everything should be used, touched, and lived with—not just displayed.”

声音同样是感官系统的一部分。公共空间与客房里，都能听到为 Further 精选的播放列表，混合着本地音乐人、驻地艺术家的作品，以及偶然录下的村庄声响——风吹过稻田的沙沙声、庙会上的鼓点、厨房的金属碰撞、展演空间前的脚步声、傍晚摩托车经过的低鸣。

Sound is equally integral to the sensory system. In both public areas and suites, curated playlists for Further blend tracks from local musicians, works by resident artists, and incidental recordings from the village—the rustle of wind through rice fields, the beat of temple drums, the clink of metal in the kitchen, footsteps in front of the performance space, the low hum of motorbikes at dusk.“Sound can make you remember a place,”

Claudio 说：“声音会让人记住一个地方，有时甚至比画面更久。”这种多重感官的叠加，并不是为了营造“异域感”，而是让人们在细节里感受到一种真切的在场感——如同在村庄里生活，而不仅仅是入住一家酒店

停留得”更久一些”

Staying a Little Longer

在 Pererenan，Further 像一条缓缓流动的路径，没有明确的起点，也不设终点。它的存在，不以边界定义，而以关系维系 —— 人与人之间，人与土地之间，人与日常之间，更像是一个开放的哲学命题。

In Pererenan, Further is like a path that flows slowly—without a clear beginning and with no defined end. It exists not through boundaries, but through relationships: between people, between people and the land, and between people and the everyday—more like an open philosophical proposition.

这里的时间是被放慢的：阳光顺着砖墙肌理缓缓移动、街巷的影子在地面重叠又散开、邻居推门进来的那一瞬，都是它的组成部分。Further 不是一种可以被完整讲述的故事，而是一系列正在发生、并将继续发生的片段。“最重要的是，我们自己也生活在这里，”Claudio 说，“这不是一个我们离开后仍会自行运转的机器，而是一种我们亲自参与的日常。”

Here, time is slowed down: sunlight moves gently along the texture of the brick walls; the shadows of the streets overlap and scatter across the ground; the moment a neighbor pushes open the door becomes part of its fabric. Further is not a story that can be fully told, but a series of moments—happening now, and continuing to unfold.“The most important thing is, we live here ourselves,” Claudio says. “This is not a machine that runs on its own after we leave—it’s a daily life we take part in.”

这种松弛而真实的关系方式，自然而然地延伸至村庄。Bar Vera 雇佣本地青年，部分建筑由邻里协作维护，社区厨房则开放给当地厨师尝试菜单，也为村民举办节庆聚会。“我们没有刻意去‘融入社区’，”Claudio 说，“我们只是和他们一起生活。不是为了参与某个项目，而是让节奏自然对齐”

Further 并不试图创造一个“新的社区”，而是让原有的生活继续发生——在不打扰的前提下，与村庄的节奏彼此交织，让日常在其中自由流动。“我们不希望这个地方成为焦点，”Claudio 说，“我们希望人们可以穿过它、忘记它，甚至忽略它，那才是最好的状态。”

Further does not seek to create a “new community,” but allows existing life to continue—interweaving with the village’s pace without disturbance, letting daily life flow freely within.“We don’t want this place to be the focus,” Claudio says. “We want people to be able to walk through it, forget it, even overlook it. That is the best state.”

或许，Further 所要传达的，不是一个关于酒店的定义，是一种姿态——在当下停留得更久一点，在一个地方走得更深一点，让”你”的记忆扎根在不同的土壤之中。

Perhaps what Further seeks to convey is not a definition of a hotel, but a way of being—to linger a little longer in the present, to go a little deeper into a place, and to let your memories take root in different soils.
