About Us
About
Born in Bali. Rooted in culture. Designing for the world since 2010.
A Journey in Every Design
16 years of architectural practice across residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors. Each project follows a complete design process from site analysis through construction administration.
The firm's approach treats each project as a full architectural journey, covering programming, schematic design, design development, construction documentation, and site supervision.
Studio Lumbung Architect (SLA) was founded in 2009 and has grown from a small studio in Bali to a firm with offices in Bali and Jakarta, serving clients across Indonesia and internationally.

IGN Andri Saputra, ST., IAI.
I Gusti Ngurah Andri Saputra co-founded SLA Group and serves as CEO. He graduated in 2008 after studying architecture at Udayana University. Starting his career from the bottom, he worked at several foreign architecture firms in Bali (Australian and French firms) to build experience and discipline.
He also spent time in design-build and property, learning hands-on about materials and construction techniques. In 2009, he established his own architecture studio, and by 2017 expanded to Jakarta, starting from a small 2x2 meter room that grew into a 40 sqm office with a 15-person team.
His message to the team reflects SLA's culture: hard work, discipline, and willingness to keep learning are the keys to success, not academic background or credentials alone.

Investment
Property as asset. Timeless design for long-term value or market-ready appeal.
Seek New Ambience
The desire for something different. Fresh atmospheres for those who already have it all.
Hobby in Property
Spaces that facilitate passion, with indoor and outdoor activities designed into the home.
Character on Designs
