A Tribute to Colonial Heritage in Design
The architecture of fas.a.fas is deeply inspired by the rich colonial heritage of the Dutch East Indies and French Colonial styles, with a particular nod to the iconic Maimun Palace in Medan. Built in the 19th century by the Deli Sultanate, Maimun Palace stands as a testament to the unique blend of colonial architecture that has become a symbol of Medan’s history.
At fas.a.fas, the grandeur of this historical design is reflected in every detail, from the towering high ceilings to the intricate colonial ornaments that echo the elegance of Maimun Palace. From the entranceway’s dignified pillars to the architectural subtle nuances, every facet of the facade whispers refined and cultured elegance, breathing new life into time-honored colonial roots.
These four pillars are not just architectural elements but symbolic foundations of fas.a.fas, representing the core values that define the bakery’s mission: Authenticity, Tastefulness, Coziness and Commitment. Together, these pillars uphold fas.a.fas as Ubud’s first colonial-style bakery, offering a unique blend of tradition, taste, and comfort since its opening this year.
