“1 are” is a common term used amongst the Balinese to say 100 square meters. 1 are is a unit applicable in Bali as a metric scale used for the purposes of understanding size or scale when purchasing land. Research says, in 2030, 65% of world populations will live in urban areas. Bali, especially Denpasar, is no exception. Increased populations and limitations of land, create an ever increasing property value that results in high land prices in Bali. The impact is felt most by the young generation (millennials). This millennial generation, also known as generation Y, is a cohort (demographic group) born in the 1980s to 2000. In other words, this millennial generation is currently dominating the labor force. Even with a steady income earned every month, most would think that millennial aim to eventually purchase their own private property, but the reality is actually inversely proportional.
According to research, the millenial generation is threatened by the ever increasing property values and risking not having a home in the next five years. The income of millennial generation increases on average about 10% yearly but this can’t keep up with the rise of property prices which increases up to 20% yearly.
IYA Bali opened this exhibition to present ideas from young architects in Indonesia by designing a house in 1 are land. This exhibition hopes to educate the public on the opportunities that a small plot of land could provide a comfortable living spaces for different uses and needs. Starting with careful planning, creative design, and understanding users behavior and lifestyle, 1 are house could be the new living space for Bali’s millennials.
