Project · 14 villas · Completed 2022

“A village,
not a development.”

THE VILLAGE · Southern France · 14 high-end stone villas on a hillside · Completed 2022
THE VILLAGE · aerial view of fourteen old-stone villas scattered across a wooded hillside in Southern France
Fourteen villas scattered like a hamlet · the hill decides where each house stands

Fourteen high-end villas on a hillside in the South of France, drawn not as a development, but as a village. Historic Mediterranean architecture, revisited: old stone walls, terracotta roofs, brick arches and timber pergolas, laid out along the slope the way hamlets have always grown, one house at a time, each finding its own terrace, its own view, its own privacy.

The material came first. Reclaimed stone, aged beams, hand-set brick, matter with memory, assembled with today's precision. Behind the old walls, everything is contemporary: light, comfort, and water carried down the terraces.

“A white village,
drawn around water.”

THE HOTEL · Southern France · 4★ boutique hotel · 36 rooms & two restaurants · Completed 2023
THE HOTEL · aerial view of the white curved wings, courtyard and pool
The hotel from above · white curved wings, water and gardens in one composition

A boutique hotel in the South of France, 36 rooms, two restaurants, a spa, drawn as a white Mediterranean village around its water. Curved wings, arcades, roman-tiled roofs: an architecture that belongs to the South, redrawn with today's lines.

Water runs through the whole plan, pools threading between the sunbeds, a swim-up bar, terraces stepping down through the trees to a rooftop of olive trees and lanterns. Thirty-six rooms, and not one far from the water.

Project · Residential complex · Completed

“Build with the cliff,
not against it.”

THE ROCK · Uluwatu, Bali · 3 luxury villas & a family house · Completed
THE ROCK · hand sketch of the cliffside villas in Uluwatu
The first line · volumes stepping down along the limestone

A residential ensemble set against the limestone cliffs of Uluwatu, three luxury villas and a family house, each stepping with the land rather than levelling it.

The rock came first. Its raw mineral presence set the palette and the posture of the whole project: stone-effect surfaces, textured mineral plaster, brushed bronze, matter that answers the cliff instead of hiding it. Glass opens the volumes to the horizon; the stone anchors them to the ground they grew from.

Every villa is oriented for light, privacy and the long view over the coast, a complex that reads as one gesture carved from a single site.

“One curve,
in all its states.”

THE CURVE · Ungasan, Uluwatu, Bali · Private villa · Completed 2025
THE CURVE · aerial view of the terracotta villa with living green roofs
Living green roofs that follow the land and dissolve the building into the hill

A private villa set in the hills of Uluwatu, where a single idea runs through everything: the curve, continuous, never broken. It draws the plan, bends the walls, rolls across the roofs and settles into the earth.

The architecture is worked in warm terracotta and earth render, softened at every corner. Undulating green roofs let the house disappear into its slope; a brick lattice filters the light and the wind. Inside, micro-cement, teak and green stone continue the same warm, tactile language, down to a terracotta bathroom lit by a single glowing circle.

Two villa types, one gesture, a house that curves with the land instead of cutting into it.

Project · Bamboo structure · Completed

“Turn around the tree,
never against it.”

THE NEST · Guaniar, Bali · Bamboo yoga shala · Completed
THE NEST · bamboo yoga shala wrapped around a living tree
A shala that curls around a living tree and opens like a leaf

My first project built entirely in bamboo. A suspended shala wrapped around a living tree, a place to meditate, to practise yoga, to be still. Perhaps a secret corner for a quiet dinner.

The idea was simple, and it decided everything: turn around the tree, rather than against it. The tree was never an obstacle to design out; it was the reason for the form. The structure curls around the trunk and opens like a leaf above it, the tree welcomes, and it reveals.

Built by hand with a Balinese craftsman, cane by cane, in respect of the ground it stands on.

Project 01 · High-rise concept · eVolo Competition, New York, 2006

“Grow a tree
the size of a tower.”

The Tower · Hong Kong · 38,500 m² · High-rise concept · In collaboration with Marchi Architectes & Nemo-k · concept & design team
The Tower · vertical forest high-rise rising above the density of Hong Kong
A giant tree in the middle of the city

Reproduce the structure, and the essence, of a giant tree in the middle of the city. The trunk becomes a core of columns, gathering every technical organ: lifts, dry risers, services. From it, each floor of offices and apartments spreads outward like a canopy.

Every level shifts off-centre from the one below. That offset is what breaks the symmetry and gives the tower its movement. At the summit, a vertical forest. Around it all, a skin, wrapping the structure the way bark wraps a living trunk.

Project · Private villa · In progress

“A house the jungle
drew first.”

THE CANOPY · Ubud, Bali · 5-bedroom private villa · Architecture & interiors
THE CANOPY · circular glass villa with ulin timber roof set in the Ubud jungle
A circular volume in the canopy · the trees were the starting point, not an afterthought

A five-bedroom villa on a lush plot in Ubud, where the existing trees, palms, endemic species, were the beginning of the drawing, not a constraint to work around. The brief was singular: an experience that is unusual and memorable, an architecture identifiable at a glance.

Against a Bali where projects multiply and blur into one another, this house takes a clear position, to design the unrepeatable, and to create value that is emotional as much as it is lasting. A circular volume of curved glass rises among the palms under a radial roof of ulin ironwood; a sculptural slide spirals down into organic water, the house becomes an event, not an object.

Project 03 · Private villa · In progress

“Masculine minimalism,
black against white.”

The Archetype Project · Berawa, Bali · Private villa · Architecture & interiors
Black veined marble kitchen with travertine island and three globe pendants
Black veined marble, a travertine island · the palette at its most dense

It begins with the classic villa, walls, courtyard, roof, its symmetry, its stacked volumes, taken apart and reassembled at angles. The master bedroom slips out of alignment and turns west, claiming the sunset for itself; in breaking the plan, it makes room for a rooftop that takes its place naturally.

Borrowed from the black of the neighbouring temple, the palette becomes a discipline rather than a decoration, setting black against white. A villa of minimal, deliberately masculine, contemporary lines, built to resemble the man it was designed for.

Project 06 · Office building · Under construction

“Turn a logo's transparency
into a building.”

SAS Headquarters · Umalas, Canggu, Bali · 1,200 m² · Architecture, interiors & project direction

Street elevation · the timber screen at dusk

Designing a building is not about shaping an envelope; it is about imagining how one moves through it. The brief was simple, bright office spaces. The intention behind it was stronger: to embody a company's values in architecture.

The client's logo is a translucent sheet of paper, transparency, and work. That idea became structure: two volumes organised around an interior garden, a continuous line of sight from reception to offices to the rear garden. Light everywhere, glare nowhere.

Interior garden between the two office volumes
The interior garden · a continuous line of sight through the building

Here, technology serves the architecture. Exposed steel, ducts and trusses become a visual language rather than a constraint, and the steel blue of the staircases pays quiet tribute to the logo.

Just as the company practises transparency with its clients, the building practises it in space.
