This stone walls looks like real stone as the rubber mould is able to resemble real texture of stone until the smallest detail can be seen and touched. These walls are eco –friendly as no more paint is needed and it is heat resistance. This system has reduced the need of air conditioning system.

Breathing Gazebo

Our wicker gazebo is designed in such a way to create a difference in pressure that causes the air to flow-in naturally into the inside of gazebo, a natural cooling system. A naturally breathing gazebo like no other, the hotter it is outside, the cooler it is inside.

Recycled Synthetic Rattan

The white synthetic rattan used in Arumdalu for the gazebo, lighting, and the chapels are made with precision and care from recycled plastic that has been processed in our factory in Jakarta.

Organic Fertilizer system

We selectively sort the waste and create our own organic fertilizer for our organic farm.

The seaweed has proven to be very rich in nutrients and become one of the best discoveries we found in Arumdalu nature.
