Since our inception on 1996, Arte Architect and Associates has been growing so fast by adhering a philosophy : we believe architecture should enrich our physical and spiritual life experience and achieved by a full passion and total commitment to the project.
After almost 10 years working as a local partner for famous architect firm such as WTG Hawaii and Los Angeles, Japan City Planning, Takenaka, we understand that architecture is not just a visual physical form, but is also create an atmosphere that generate a sense and influence our spiritual life during experiencing the space and architecture . There for our creation is not just only about form composition, but more on emphasizing the quality and sense of the space.
Our approach is to work more to create space; reinventing the Asian tropical living space blended with the new language of architecture. We are not compromising the design outcome and commitment to the qualify of work,. as well as to protect the client's interest, a trusting relationship with the client
We like to work closely together with the client to understand their dream then I can help channel their dream and my ideas to become a reality. It is important to work harmoniously with the client as I belief negative feelings will be imbibed by the building we are creating.
We have both local and international recognition, our project is spread from Bali and Indonesia, Singapore, Maldives, Taiwan, Japan, Saipan, Hawaii, Costa Rica, France St.Martin Caribia. Belize.

Mr. Michael McCoy, Developer for Cielo Santo Villa, Costa Rica :
"Ketut Arthana truly understands the use of space in architecture. He employs the principle that, very often, the unseen can be much more important than the physical elements of design. With both elements – the use of space and the physical features - taken together as a whole, the resulting design of the Cielo Santo Villa in Costa Rica literally took the breath away of every visitor who stepped through the entry door.
His work in Costa Rica simply represents what Modern Tropical architectural design can and should be, something sought by many but actually achieved by very few".
