IGN Andri Saputra, ST., IAI.
About Principal

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.

Tri Hita Karana

The philosophy of three causes of well-being that guides every aspect of our design and company culture.

Parahyangan

Harmony with God

The spiritual dimension in our design, respecting the divine presence in every space we create.

Pawongan

Harmony among People

Teamwork, compassion, and collaboration. Building strong relationships between team, clients, and community.

Palemahan

Harmony with Nature

Preserving and responding to landscapes, designing with deep respect for the natural environment.

Atma Pandu Aksara

Created by our Principal Architect IGN Andri Saputra, this is the technical foundation and design thinking framework that guides every architectural practice at Lumbung Architect. Three intersecting pillars that shape how we design.

Idealism

The Architect's Soul
  • Be Client Driven: guide clients with openness, never rigidity
  • Solve Problem: idealism must solve, never create new problems
  • Art Sense: elevate solutions with artistic value
  • Imagination: envision what others cannot yet see
  • Simplicity: think simple and smart, uniqueness follows

Client

Design with Respect
  • Listen: absorb their needs, dreams, and aspirations
  • Learn: study deeply before assuming understanding
  • Collaborative: clients are partners, not directors
  • Impact for Client: every outcome must deliver real value

Trend

Read the Context
  • Style of Design: understand evolving design movements
  • Performance Program: adapt to changing lifestyles and technology
  • Investment Interest: align with market dynamics and investor needs

7 Basic Philosophies

What we understand about why people build, and the purpose behind every project.

01

A Place to Rest

Home as the ultimate sanctuary. Comfort through thoughtful spatial flow and circulation.

02

Social Status

Architecture as achievement. Design that reflects personal milestones and aspirations.

03

Investment

Property as asset. Timeless design for long-term value or market-ready appeal.

04

Seek New Ambience

The desire for something different. Fresh atmospheres for those who already have it all.

05

Hobby in Property

Spaces that facilitate passion, with indoor and outdoor activities designed into the home.

06

Character on Designs

A distinct architectural identity. Continuous refinement to create a signature style.

07

Actualize Dreams

Translating client dreams and life goals into built form through imagination.
