Architect in Sanur, Bali
Family houses for Sanur's quiet, established east coast.
Discuss a project in Sanur→Sanur is the calm side of Bali — older, more settled, and residential in a way the west isn't. Families live here year-round, drawn by the quiet, the established community and some of the island's best schools; it suits a house built to be lived in daily, not let by the week.
We know this ground — Thorp House, our completed family residence, sits here. Building this close to the sea means designing for salt air in every material choice, and Sanur's high water table shapes the foundations from the first sketch. If you have land here, or are looking for it, this is home turf.
Frequently asked questions
Sanur rewards a house built to be lived in — calm, private, open to the garden, made for family life rather than a rental's turnover. It also rewards local knowledge: this close to the sea you design for salt air in every material, and Sanur's high water table shapes the foundations from the start.

Process
Understanding the site
Every project begins with a close reading of the site — in Sanur, 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.
