Jungle and river houses for Kalimantan.

Discuss a project in Kalimantan

Kalimantan — Indonesian Borneo — is jungle and river country, and interest is rising fast, not least around the new capital (IKN) taking shape in the east.

It's dramatic, forested and largely undeveloped at the high end, which makes it one of the more interesting places in the country to build well right now.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — the forest-and-river landscape and the momentum around the new capital make it a genuinely interesting place, and exactly the kind of setting we're drawn to.

Areas of work

Private Residences

Private Residences

Private houses designed for the climate, the site and the way you live — the core of the studio's work.

Interiors

Interiors

Interior design carried through from the architecture — considered, material-led spaces, whether part of a full house or a standalone commission.

Hospitality

Hospitality

Boutique hospitality — villas, retreats and small resorts. An area the studio is actively growing, bringing the care of a private house to guest experience.

Process

Understanding the site

Every project begins with a close reading of the site — in Kalimantan, that means its climate, orientation, terrain, access and the particular character of the place, understood before a single line is drawn.

The better we understand the ground, the stronger every decision that follows. Nothing is designed against the site; everything responds to it.
