Split Mass Residence Banten Indonesia building, West Java
Design: K-Thengono Design Studio

Located within a residential estate in BSD, South Tangerang, this residence is shaped by a carefully considered massing strategy that balances openness, privacy and environmental performance. Taking advantage of its corner site, the design calibrates the arrangement of volumes to capture views towards the outdoors while maintaining a more introverted domestic character. Strategic openings allow natural light and ventilation to penetrate deep into the plan, creating comfortable interiors while strengthening the relationship between the house and its surroundings.

Villa Suki, Pererenan, Bali
Architectural Design: Stefani Kefala
photo : KIE
Villa Suki is conceived as a quiet interplay of geometry, landscape, and light—an outward-looking private residence organised around a central courtyard that forms the spatial and environmental heart of the home. The architecture is defined by a perfect square plan rotated 45 degrees within the near-rectangular site, generating a series of triangular gardens along its perimeter.

Set within one of Bali’s most celebrated surf destinations, ORAMA occupies a position between the energy of the island’s coastal culture and the tranquillity of its dramatic landscape. Closely connected to the rhythms of Uluwatu’s surf scene, cafés and restaurants, yet discreetly positioned above the coastline, the development offers a rare balance between engagement and retreat.

Contemporary architectural designs in 2025:

Nyrenstone Estate, Tampah Hills, Lombok, Lesser Sunda Island chain
Architectural Design: Alexis Dornier
photo : KIE
Perched on one of the steepest sites within Tampah Hills in South Lombok, Nyrenstone Estate reflects Alexis Dornier’s response to the challenges and opportunities of the terrain. Rather than imposing a conventional architectural order onto the landscape, the design is guided by the natural contours of the hillside, cascading down the slope in a series of carefully calibrated levels. A geometric language of circles and tangents informs the composition, shaping both the spatial organization and the architectural identity of the residence.

Villa Omah Prana, Payangan, Bali
Architectural Design: Alexis Dornier
photograph : KIE
Set within the highlands of Payangan, Villa Omah Prana is conceived as a circular dwelling shaped by a singular architectural gesture. The residence is organized around a ring-shaped plan that arranges all living spaces along its perimeter, allowing each room to engage directly with the surrounding landscape. This radial configuration maximizes outward views and natural light while establishing a continuous relationship between the interior and its natural setting.

The Jiwani, Lovina, north coast of Bali, Indonesia, Southeast Asia
Architectural Design: Alexis Dornier
photo : KIE
Set along Bali’s tranquil northern coastline, The Jiwani is conceived as a sculptural retreat where architecture, landscape, and craftsmanship are seamlessly intertwined. Designed by Alexis Dornier, the residence explores a refined dialogue between the clarity and restraint of Japanese design principles and the richness of Balinese architectural traditions. The home is organized as an L-shaped composition that embraces its surroundings, carefully framing expansive views of the ocean while enclosing a lush tropical garden.

Villa Boë, Tampah Hills, Lombok, Lesser Sunda Island chain
Architectural Design: Alexis Dornier
photo : KIE
Designing Villa Boë was about creating a structure that is both expressive and respectful. It stands at a visible point in the landscape, so every gesture had to be deliberate — not to shout, but to sit with confidence and calm.

According to the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, “Environmentalists and designers John and Cynthia Hardy wanted to motivate communities to live sustainably. Part of that effort was to show people how to build with sustainable materials, namely bamboo. They established the Green School, and its affiliates: the Meranggi Foundation, which develops plantations of bamboo plants through presenting bamboo seedlings to local rice farmers; and PT Bambu, a for-profit design and construction company that promotes the use of bamboo as a primary building material, in an effort to avoid the further depletion of rainforests.

The Green School, a giant laboratory built by PT Bambu, is located on a sustainable campus straddling both sides of the Ayung River in Sibang Kaja, Bali, within a lush jungle with native plants and trees growing alongside sustainable organic gardens.”
