Studio
Adaptive Archipelago Architecture
Our buildings respond to climate, context, and culture. Passive strategies such as cross-ventilation, deep overhangs, elevated structures, and porous façades naturally regulate heat and humidity. Local materials and Indonesian craft traditions are brought into a contemporary architectural language with restraint and integrity.
Climate Adaptation
Buildings that breathe with the tropics through cross-ventilation, deep eaves, and porous façades—regulating heat and humidity naturally.
Material Honesty
Locally sourced and climate-appropriate materials are crafted through both traditional techniques and contemporary fabrication.
Contemporary Vernacular
Traditional Indonesian forms are reinterpreted through asymmetry, material integrity, and a direct relationship with landscape.

Founded by Talisa Dwiyani
After co-founding ADA Studio and extensive research in sustainable materials, Talisa established Pulau Studio to create architecture that breathes with Indonesia’s tropical environment. Drawing from Indonesian heritage and European design education, her work embraces material honesty, climate adaptation, and cultural context.
