Architectural blueprints for tropical living 

The ground floor is open and social, with generous kitchen and living spaces organised around a clear circulation spine. Upstairs provides private bedrooms, a secondary living area and elevated terraces that bring light, air and landscape into everyday life.

Drawing inspiration from Balinese and Japanese architecture, the design balances openness with privacy, creating a calm and ordered environment suited to family living, hospitality or retreat settings.

A two storey homestead designed for everyday living.

The Farmhouse blueprint is based on our own home in Borneo. It is a innovative two storey design with a central ground floor space for kitchen and living, and an integrated ensuite to keep the layout efficient and connected.

The heart of the home is an open living and kitchen space that extends onto a generous terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. The ground floor bedroom provides accessibility and convenience, while the upper floor offers a private retreat with elevated views and natural light.

The design blends traditional village living with a clearer modern order, with openness and flow. Built with a timber frame and bamboo infill wall panels, it is adaptable. The roof finfish can be chosen to suit context and preference.

One side is a solid cement core that anchors the building. It contains the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and services, with a roof terrace above as an open, uncovered outdoor space.

The second is a taller timber structure that holds the living area, bedrooms and balcony space. It is lighter, more open and focused on air and movement.

Together they create contrast and balance. The solid volume carries function and structure, while the timber volume brings lightness and daily living. A compact, intelligent layout inspired by the Michi archives.

The bathrooms sits outside under the roof overhang, with a shower open to the air, designed for airflow, simplicity and climate response. A side stair leads to a roof terrace, extending the living space upwards and creating an additional outdoor room.

The form is efficient and logical, with a raised offset roof that improves ventilation and gives the house a clear spatial rhythm. A small, smart system where every part has purpose and the whole feels open, adaptable and easy to build.

At the front is an open living space with a daybed and dining area, extending into a sheltered terrace for relaxed outdoor use.

Behind this sits a private bedroom with a small kitchenette, keeping essentials self contained and efficient. The bathroom is placed outside under the deep roof overhang, with the toilet and shower tucked into shade and protected from weather.

This is a compact circular structure designed for close gathering, where people can sit and actually hear each other. It supports conversation, exchange, and small community interaction. The edges of the roof undulate gently, giving the pavilion a flowing appearance that feels open and dynamic. It has been built on Gili Island and is used within a resort setting as a retreat, meeting and greeting space.

It can become a series of sleeping units in a resort setting. It can hold small workshops or learning spaces. It can be a tree house style living space or a place for play and gathering. It has already been built in Bali and used as an educational school space, proving its adaptability in real use.

This is a lightweight adaptable structure designed to respond to changing landscape heights. Following the steep slope of the land, the canopy forms an inviting sheltered space that protects the areas below from rain while still allowing filtered light to move through.

The core form is a simple pitched roof system that can sit within different environments. It is designed to work with either a tensile canopy layer or a more practical plastic roof sheeting depending on context and use. It has been built in Bali and is currently used as part of a glamping site.
