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
