Lumbung was started by Andri Saputra in 2010. Andri studied architecture at the Udayana University between 2004-2008. Upon graduation, he worked with three architecture consultants in Bali to develop experience and knowledge in both western and local architectural practices. Then he also worked and traveled with senior foreign architects from France and Australia for the next 3 years.
Afterward, Andri Saputra decided to establish his first architectural firm in 2010, studio Lumbung Architect. Lumbung Architect is based in Bali and it has around 12 staff employed. They currently have completed projects throughout Bali, Jakarta, Nigeria, and the Bahamas. By recruiting the professional team in his field which includes a team of architects, structural engineers, quantity surveyors, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers, the studio strives to provide an excellent solution for the client’s need.
Lumbung’s output is very much concerned about the functionality and the proportionality of the building layout. The studio believes that in the design development process, the aesthetics not only practical to use but also efficient and should never sacrifice function or occupant’s comfort. The design output has to enhance the functions of the people who utilize it.
“Lumbung” means barn in the traditional Balinese language. The structure of this building is an agricultural building used for storage and as a covered workplace to keep and store grain. The concept of Lumbung as a barn represents the knowledge we store as an architect is to provide the best solution for your needs. This traditional barn also has a unique roof design that stands for our unique team and designs. Our work ethics are not limited to “Form follows function” but also “the function follows needs”
Lumbung Architect aims to bring unique Balinese design and taste throughout the world. Lumbung Architect already has some projects overseas such as in Bahama, Nigeria, Australia, and still focusing to expand more. Therefore, our hospitality projects in Bali have welcoming many guests from all around the globe to showcase exceptional Balinese style in our projects.
