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
We shape interior environments defined by atmosphere and material truth — spaces that feel complete without excess, and grow more beautiful with time.
Start a journeyInterior design at Ankatana is an extension of architecture — not decoration applied after the fact. We work with the same spatial logic, choosing materials and furnishings that belong to the environment rather than fill it.
Every surface, every threshold and every source of light is considered as part of a whole atmosphere that serves the people who inhabit it.
Organisation of rooms, circulation and the relationship between spaces for optimal daily living.
Stone, timber, plaster, textile — materials chosen for their honesty and how they age.
Natural and artificial light conceived together to shape the mood of each space at every hour.
Selection and sourcing of furniture, art and objects that complete the interior atmosphere.
Detailed interior drawings, joinery details and finish schedules for contractors.
"Every project begins with a conversation."
