Oitom is a restaurant in Kota Kinabalu celebrating indigenous Bornean flavours and local ingredients. Its interior reinterprets the communal layout of the Rungus longhouse into a contemporary dining space with shared and intimate seating areas. Vertical forms, bamboo-inspired flooring, beadwork installations, and palm-leaf lighting reference traditional Bornean craftsmanship, balanced with a restrained Nordic palette.

Located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, The Cara Hotel designed by Wowspace Studio is a refined retreat that bridges contemporary design with intimate luxury. Guided by the philosophy of restraint as luxury and rooted refinement, the hotel avoids fleeting trends in favour of emotional warmth and genuine rest. Rather than literal motifs, Sabah’s mountains, rainforests, and coastlines are abstracted into organic textures and softened forms. Thoughtfully paced spaces and nature-inspired guest rooms create a calm, unhurried atmosphere — an intimate sanctuary where guests can slow down and feel quietly embraced by the spirit of Sabah.
