Architecture
From concept to construction, we design buildings that earn their place in the landscape. Residential villas, commercial towers, hospitality retreats.
Interior Design & Architecture
Bespoke residential, commercial, and hospitality design across Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
Our Story
Founded in 2016, Aura Studio began with a single question: what does it feel like to truly belong somewhere? Eight years and fifty projects later, that question still drives everything we design.
We work at the intersection of architecture and interior design — not as two separate disciplines, but as one continuous conversation between structure, light, material, and human experience.
Our clients are property developers, business owners, and homeowners who understand that a beautifully designed space is not a luxury — it is an investment in how life is lived.
What We Do
From concept to construction, we design buildings that earn their place in the landscape. Residential villas, commercial towers, hospitality retreats.
We curate spaces where every material choice, every light source, every proportion is deliberate. Residential interiors, offices, retail, and F&B.
For clients navigating renovation or new builds, we provide spatial strategy: flow analysis, feasibility, and concept development before commitment.

View Project →Featured Project
A complete architectural and interior transformation of a 1980s colonial home in South Surabaya into a minimalist tropical sanctuary. Completed 2024.
The brief was simple: keep the bones, lose everything else. We stripped the original structure to its frame, redesigned the spatial flow to capture the garden light that had been blocked for decades, and furnished every room in dialogue with the surrounding tropical landscape.
How We Work
We begin with listening. A deep-dive conversation about how you live, work, and move through space. No brief is too detailed. This session defines everything.
We translate your brief into spatial concepts — mood boards, material directions, and preliminary layout studies. You choose the direction that resonates.
Concepts become detailed drawings: architectural plans, interior elevations, 3D visualizations, and material specifications. No surprises on site.
Our in-house team manages every contractor, every delivery, every installation detail. You receive weekly progress reports and site photography.
We don't hand you keys and disappear. A formal walkthrough, a snag list, and a 6-month post-occupancy check-in are standard with every project.
Recognition
“One of Surabaya's most refined architectural voices.”
2024“A studio that treats material and light as primary design elements.”
2023“Quietly redefining tropical modernism from Surabaya.”
2023Client Voices
We gave Aura a blank canvas and a wish list. What we received exceeded both. Our home finally feels like us.
