01 — Philosophy
ARDA is a boutique architecture and interior design studio in Canggu, Bali, designing hospitality powerhouses across Bali and internationally, shaped by tropical climate, local craft, and the site itself.
Based in Bali since 2023, Brazilian-founded and working internationally, our projects are residential and commercial, spread across Indonesia: private villas, hospitality, restaurants, schools and master plans. We work at the scale where the architect still draws the details, designing with an artist’s standard and an owner’s arithmetic.
We work across residential, F&B, retail, hospitality, wellness, education and master planning, with projects in Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud, Uluwatu and Sanur, as well as Lombok and Jakarta, and clients from all over the world.
02 — Services
What we do
Residential: private villas, homes and hospitality-driven assets. Commercial: hospitality, resorts, restaurants and F&B, retail and workplaces, plus masterplanning and feasibility studies for larger developments.
A-to-Z architecture and interior design for private and commercial developments, from first concept and planning through to construction and finishing.
Masterplans that organize a site for flow, density and value, balancing accommodation, amenity and landscaping, with financial models and projections based on market experience.
Independent studies that test what a site or an existing asset can become, backed by market and financial analysis.
Resorts, hotels and hospitality venues designed as destinations, with both the guest experience and commercial performance in mind.
Restaurants, bars, spas and wellness spaces planned as experiences and as revenue centres, not afterthoughts.

04 — How we work
How we take a project from first idea to finished building, in four steps.
01
The beginning of understanding the client’s needs and brief. The stage prior to the first design drawings.
02
A first draft of the final product showing the main concept of the project, presented through drawings, graphics, images and diagrams.
03
We specify all materials and construction methods so the project budget is aligned with your investment. A volume of technical drawings sent to everyone involved in the construction.
