Architect Lombok

Alexis Dornier is an architecture and design studio working across Lombok, creating private residences, villas and hospitality projects shaped by their site, climate and landscape. With completed and ongoing projects on the island, the studio combines international design experience with an understanding of the specific conditions of building in Lombok.

About The Studio

Our work in Lombok includes completed and ongoing private residences and hospitality projects across the island. From steep hillside sites to coastal landscapes, each project responds individually to its location, views, climate and surroundings.

Many of Lombok’s most interesting sites are steep or irregular. Buildings are positioned to work with the land while maximising views and minimising unnecessary intervention.

Local construction capabilities, site access and material availability are considered early in the design process to help create architecture that can be realistically and successfully built.

Areas of Work

Private Residences

Designing high-end villas and private homes in Lombok, each project responds to terrain, climate, and views. Spaces are shaped to balance privacy with openness, creating a strong connection between interior and exterior living while ensuring long-term functionality, comfort, and a clear architectural identity.

Hospitality

Boutique hotels and hospitality concepts are designed around experience, movement, and atmosphere. Each project considers how guests interact with space, from arrival to circulation, ensuring a cohesive journey. Architecture is shaped to reflect the location while supporting both operational flow and a distinct, memorable identity.

Resorts

Resort projects in Lombok are approached through careful masterplanning, balancing scale with landscape. Layout, circulation, and spatial zoning are considered early, ensuring developments feel cohesive rather than fragmented. Each design responds to the site’s natural features while supporting both guest experience and long-term operational efficiency.

Our Process

01. SITE AND BRIEF

Every project begins with a careful reading of the site, including topography, orientation and surrounding landscape. In Lombok, this often means working with steep terrain, coastal exposure and varying environmental conditions. The brief is developed alongside this analysis, aligning spatial requirements with the project vision and how the building will be used.

02. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Initial concepts are shaped by the site and brief, exploring massing, layout and the relationship between architecture and landscape. Early design thinking focuses on how the building sits within its setting and how interior and exterior spaces connect. Multiple directions may be tested before settling on the approach that best fits the location and intended use.

03. SPATIAL PLANNING

The layout is organised around movement, views and the transitions between spaces. Circulation, zoning and the relationship between more private and more open areas are resolved to create a natural flow through the building. In Lombok’s climate, the connection between inside and outside is a central planning consideration.

04. MATERIAL STRATEGY

Materials are selected for aesthetic intent and environmental performance, with consideration for durability, local availability and how they will weather in Lombok’s conditions. The palette is developed to support the architectural concept while remaining practical and appropriate to the site.

05. DETAILED DESIGN

The project is developed through detailed drawings and coordination, resolving structure, finishes and key architectural elements before construction begins. This stage ensures design intent is clearly communicated and can be accurately delivered on site.

06. DELIVERY AND REALISATION

During construction we work with contractors and review progress to ensure the design is executed as intended. This maintains quality and consistency, ensuring the completed building reflects both the architectural vision and the specific conditions of the Lombok site.

Building in Lombok

Lombok presents a different architectural context from other parts of Indonesia, with more open landscapes, steeper terrain and a stronger sense of privacy. Projects here often require a more considered response to site conditions, balancing exposure, shelter and connection to the surrounding environment.

Alexis Dornier approaches each project without a predetermined architectural style. Instead, architecture develops from the particular conditions of the site, the people who will inhabit it and the landscape surrounding it.

Selected Projects in Lombok

  • Villa Boe – A hillside villa designed in response to steep terrain, creating layered living spaces with panoramic ocean views
  • Villa Nabu – A private residence focused on spatial flow, light, and connection between interior and exterior environments
  • Villa N – A refined villa project balancing privacy with openness, shaped around landscape and climate
  • Villa Wyse – A contemporary villa exploring structure, form, and integration with its surrounding setting
  • The Triad – A composition of volumes responding to site constraints, creating distinct yet connected living spaces
  • Villa M – A residential project designed with a focus on simplicity, materiality, and relationship to the natural environment

Frequently Asked Questions

The studio has completed multiple private villas and hospitality projects in Lombok, developing a direct understanding of the island’s terrain, climate and construction conditions. Each project builds on this experience, allowing design decisions to respond to site conditions rather than relying on generic solutions.

Yes. We can review a potential site from an architectural perspective and help identify opportunities and constraints related to topography, access, views and development potential before the design process begins.

Yes. We can work with an existing contractor or coordinate with contractors introduced during the tender process. Our detailed architectural documentation provides the basis for pricing and construction.

Yes. These services are coordinated with the relevant specialist and local consultants. We work alongside structural engineers, MEP consultants and local professionals required for permitting and construction.

Yes. Many of our clients are based internationally. The design and coordination process can be managed remotely through regular online meetings, presentations and project updates.

Send us information about your site, approximate building requirements, intended use and project timeline. If available, please also include land surveys, site photographs or location information. We can then arrange an initial conversation to discuss the project.
