Notes from the Studio

Journal.

Short notes on how we think and work — on design without boundaries, on building by your side, and on the spaces we shape across Jakarta.

Design without boundaries

We believe the world deserves design without boundaries — welcoming everyone, but dictating to no one. It is the line we founded the studio on in 2015, and it still decides how we draw a wall, place a window, and listen before we propose.

By your side, and on your side

A good project begins with a generous brief. We start with a complimentary consultation — your needs, aspirations, budget and timescale — then move through concept, approval and supervision together. The hand that draws the space stays with it until handover.

A house filmed across a single day

For the PIK residence we followed the light from morning to dusk — bright daylit courts giving way to a quiet, lantern-lit evening. Deep eaves and layered glass do the quiet work of tempering a tropical climate while holding the calm inside.

Made to measure

For peace of mind during construction, we make our own built-in furniture — joinery that reflects the exact 3D perspective our designers prepare. At HHS Sunter, pale stone, oak and brass were resolved in the drawing and then built in-house, room by room.

A deli, then a pizzeria

Margaux began as a deli in SCBD and returned as a pizzeria in ASG Tower, PIK — commercial work that has to perform every service and still feel like a room you want to linger in. The same care we bring to a residence, on a faster clock.
