About Artisek Studio
Founded in Bali, Artisek Studio emerged from a simple belief: architecture should serve life, not complicate it. We design spaces that feel natural, function effortlessly, and age gracefully.
Our approach is rooted in understanding—understanding the land, the climate, the way people live and move through space. We believe in honest materials, thoughtful details, and designs that respond to their environment rather than imposing upon it.
Every project begins with listening. We take time to understand not just what you want to build, but how you want to live. This human-centered approach, combined with our deep respect for Balinese building traditions and sustainable practices, creates architecture that feels both timeless and contemporary.
Our Values
The principles that guide every project and shape our approach to design.
Functional
Every design decision serves a purpose. We create spaces that work beautifully for the people who use them, prioritizing flow, comfort, and practical daily living.
Honest Materials
We celebrate materials in their natural state—stone that feels like stone, wood that ages gracefully, concrete that shows its strength. Authenticity over artifice.
Refined Details
Excellence lives in the details. From the way light enters a room to how a door handle feels in your hand, we obsess over the small things that make a big difference.
Low Maintenance
Beautiful architecture shouldn't be a burden. We design for longevity, choosing materials and systems that age well and require minimal upkeep over time.
Our Team
We collaborate across architecture, interior, landscape, and engineering to deliver thoughtful, lasting work.

Adi Jaya
Principle Architect
I’m Adi Jaya, Principal Architect at Karaya Architect. People say I’m the “fun one” on the team—always up for discussions, sharing references, and exploring new ideas.But here’s the truth: I’m also the guy who gets the most headaches . Why? Because every designdecision comes with tons of considerations—function, aesthetics, budget, and of course, the client’sdreams.Still, that’s what makes architecture exciting: turning complex thoughts into simple, livable, andinspiring spaces.If you’re looking for a design process that’s thoughtful yet fun, Karaya Architect is here to create itwith you.
Dana Widianta
Principle M.E.P
I’m Dana Widianta, Principal MEP at Karaya Architect. Dealing with electricity, water, and aircirculation is my everyday thing—so yeah, I’m pretty used to getting “shocked” (literally andfiguratively).For me, MEP isn’t just about technical stuff, but about making sure every building runs smoothly andcomfortably. From power lines to plumbing, I turn chaos into function. If you see lights, fresh air, andrunning water in our projects—well, that’s my team’s magic at work.So, if you want a building that’s not only well-designed but also works perfectly inside and out—choose Karaya Architect to bring your vision to life.
