K-Thengono Design Studio is proud to participate in JIA CURATED 2025, held on August 14 to 18 at Bali Festival Park, Sanur. For this exhibition, we are showcasing Joglo Reimagined, a recently completed residence that fuses the timeless character of traditional Javanese Joglo architecture with modern sensibilities. We are delighted to join this platform where designers from across the creative industry come together to exchange ideas and celebrate design innovation.

Curated by Suzy Annetta, Founder of Design Anthology, the exhibition revolves around the theme of “scale,” featuring maquettes by 24 architects from across Indonesia. From intimate residences to expansive public spaces, the showcase highlights the intersection of craft and design in architecture, shaped by rich and diverse cultural contexts.

K-Thengono Design Studio was invited to OMAH Library to share the principal’s reflections and experiences in architecture, particularly on the key influences that have shaped our journey over the past five years. During the session, we also had the opportunity to recount how we were first introduced to architecture and what it's like to grow professionally within the field.

This event was part of Dara(h) Muda, a thoughtful initiative led by Realrich Sjarief, where young and emerging architects are invited to share their architectural narratives. We’re grateful for the chance to contribute to this inspiring platform and to exchange both professional insights and personal stories from our design journey.

K-Thengono Design Studio is honored to be awarded as the winner of the “Premium House” category at the INDO BUILD TECH: Architecture Prize, with our recently completed project: The Skylit House, located in North Jakarta, Indonesia.

This modern residence blends clean contemporary lines with subtle Japanese influences, reflecting the cultural background of the homeowner. As a collaborative effort between the client, architects, and consultants, The Skylit House is a testament to the power of shared vision and thoughtful design.

We dedicate this recognition to everyone involved in bringing this home to life, your contributions made it not only buildable but truly livable.

We are honored to be invited to speak at Anakata Series: Palembang, presented by IAI Sumatera Selatan. Held on Friday, June 20th, 2025, this event brings together voices from the architecture and design community to explore the theme of "Diversity."

Through this presentation, K-Thengono Design Studio hopes to share our perspective on diversity — highlighting the wide range of projects we've undertaken and how, from a particular point of view, they reflect the richness of stories, contexts, and creative approaches we embrace in our design process.

K-Thengono Design Studio is honored to participate in SALING x SILANG Episode 04 at ARCH:ID 2025. This event brings together eight pairs of cross-disciplinary creative minds from various industries, sharing their insights through a casual discussion.

Held on May 11th, 2025, at ICE BSD, Tangerang, the event highlights collaboration and creative exchange. Our studio is teaming up with Jeshua Sadeli, Principal of Woodlam Indonesia, to present our architectural journey and design approach through one of our latest projects: Kencana Valley Nest.

It is an honor to be invited as the keynote speaker for the "Design Perspective" event by FOAID 2025, held in Chennai, India, on March 20th, 2025. This being our first visit to India, we are excited to explore its vibrant and rich culture. During our presentation, we shared our approach to Contextualism in Architecture, showcasing our recent projects: The Rice Barn House, Talaga Sampireun Bali, and Kencana Valley Compound. We believe that architecture design stems from a deep understanding of nature, culture, and humanity. It was also a pleasure to join fellow speaker Nicholas Gomes from Hyla Architects, Singapore. We are truly grateful for this opportunity!

Indonesian Architects Week Kuala Lumpur 2024 (IAWKL 2024) exhibition was formally inaugurated on November 14, 2024, at The Godown in Kuala Lumpur. The opening ceremony was graced by distinguished figures, including Hendra P. Iskandar, Minister Counselor for Economic Affairs at the Indonesian Embassy in Malaysia; Ar. Georgius Budi Yulianto, ST., MT., Chairman of the Indonesian Architects Association (IAI); Prof. Ar. Adrianta Aziz, President of the Malaysian Institute of Architecture (PAM); Emily Wee, co-founder of The Godown; Deddy Wahjudi, co-founder and board member of IAWKL 2024; along with curators Rizki Supratman and Trianzani Sulshi.

The exhibition featured the works of 70 architectural firms from 11 provinces across Indonesia, each responding to the theme, “Equatorial Synaesthesia: An Exploration of Sensory Harmony and Spatial Perception, Revisiting the Tenets of Critical Regionalism.” This thought-provoking theme encouraged architects to examine the sensory interplay and spatial perception inherent to the equatorial region, blending these with the principles of regionalism in a contemporary and critical context.

We are honored to present our project, Talaga Sampireun Bali, at this esteemed exhibition, where it has been selected in the category of Cultural and Ecological Resonance. We hope this event fosters the collaborative spirit among Indonesian architects and provides an opportunity for international connections, allowing the global community to reconnect with the vibrant domestic architectural landscape.

Throughout the history of architecture, few materials have been as influential as wood. It is rare to encounter a building that does not incorporate wood in some form, and it continues to be a fundamental element in the construction of buildings today. In our studio, wood plays a central role in a wide range of projects, and through our ongoing explorations, we have gathered valuable experiences to share.

Today, we are truly honored to have the opportunity to share our findings on wood as a material to the students of Pelita Harapan University, with the topic "Wood Construction in Contemporary Architecture." Together with our esteemed moderator, Mr. Raymond Gandayuwana, and wood joinery supplier, Mario Kurniadi from Rothoblaas Indonesia, we are excited to do public lecture on the use of both solid and engineered wood. We also share precedent studies from some of our recently completed projects, including Collective Arc, Kencana Valley, Intertwined Residence, and the Wooden Pavilion.
