About the Studio

A small studio
working from Lombok

We design homes, villas, and hospitality spaces in Lombok. We start with the site, the weather, the budget, and the way the building will be used - then work out what needs to happen next.

Why this studio exists

Many projects begin with a reference image. That is useful, but it is not a design brief. A house on a narrow Mataram lot, a villa on a hillside, and a coastal restaurant have very different problems to solve.

Atelier Nusa exists to work through those differences carefully. We use references as a starting point, then adjust the plan, openings, materials, and budget to the actual place and the people who will use it.

How We Work

The useful decisions
come first

Local references, current lives

Traditional buildings offer useful lessons about shade, airflow, thresholds, and shared space. We do not copy them as decoration. We ask which ideas still make sense for a family home, a rental villa, or a hospitality project today.

Materials chosen for the setting

The cheapest option is not always the lowest-cost option over time. We consider salt air, humidity, UV exposure, cleaning, replacement, and local availability before specifying a finish. The goal is a building that can be maintained without importing every solution from elsewhere.

A design has to survive the build

Drawings are only useful when the team on site can read them and build from them. We keep an eye on dimensions, junctions, materials, and the sequence of work so the design remains clear after it leaves the screen.

Let the climate do some of the work

Roof overhangs, shaded terraces, cross-ventilation, and the position of a window can make a room more comfortable before mechanical systems are added. These are simple decisions, but they need to be made early.

The work behind the work

A building is shaped by more than its facade. Plans, sections, material samples, budgets, and site conversations all leave a mark on the result.

We keep those parts of the process connected. It is less about adding more layers and more about making the important decisions visible while there is still time to change them.

What We Care About

Adding good buildings
without erasing the place

Lombok is changing quickly. New hospitality projects, second homes, and residential development are bringing more attention to the island. Growth is inevitable; careless building is not.

We want our projects to be useful, durable, and comfortable to live with. If a building can do that while keeping a sense of where it is, we consider the work worthwhile.
