We do not design for effect. We design for the people who will inhabit the spaces we make — for the light that enters each morning, for the textures felt at arm's reach, for the silence of a well-proportioned room.
Ankatana is an architectural practice based in Ubud, Bali. Our work spans architecture, engineering, interior design, furniture and the careful restoration of what already exists. Each project begins with listening — to the land, to the climate, to those who will live there.
Ubud, Bali — since 2012
From the first site visit to the final detail, we design buildings that are shaped by their landscape, climate and the specific life they are meant to hold.
Start a journeyWe design from the ground up — studying each site, its light, its ventilation, its relationship to the landscape — before a single line is drawn. The result is architecture that feels inevitable rather than imposed.
Our projects range from private residences to hospitality environments, each treated with the same depth of attention, regardless of scale.
Understanding the land, the climate, the programme and the client's vision before any design begins.
Spatial organisation, massing, materiality and the overall atmosphere of the project.
Detailed drawings, material specifications and coordination with all disciplines.
Full construction documentation and permit submission prepared for local authorities.
On-site presence throughout construction to ensure the design intent is realised faithfully.
"Every project begins with a conversation."
