Architect in Nusa Penida

Cliff and island houses for Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan.

Discuss a project in Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida is the largest of the three islands off Bali's south-east coast — with Lembongan and Ceningan alongside it, they make up the Nusa Islands: rawer, more remote, and increasingly sought after by people who want something apart from Bali.

Penida is dramatic cliff country; Lembongan and Ceningan are smaller and gentler. Across all three, building means designing for a remote setting — water, power and access considered from the start — which is exactly the kind of problem we enjoy. A house here can be genuinely a world of its own.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — a private house out here can be something genuinely apart, and that's exactly the kind of setting we're drawn to, whether on Penida, Lembongan or Ceningan.

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 Nusa Penida, 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.
