30 Best Architecture Firms in Indonesia

Indonesia is considered the largest archipelagic state in the world. Its wider adjoining land and maritime borders, as well as its colonial and post-colonial history, have greatly influenced the country’s built environment. Enfolding the local vernacular architecture, the Dutch colonial influences with the impact of the Hindu, Islamic and Buddhist iconic architecture within its urban fabric, Indonesia has become an amalgamation of architectural cultures. Architectural theorist and designer Joe Day writes, “Jakarta is perhaps the truest realization of a post-colonial cosmopolis.” Instead of witnessing a clash between tradition and colonial occupation, the Indonesian capital has seamlessly established its own unique architectural image.

In the late 1940s, the country gained its independence and set off to reinvent itself. It was one of the pioneers that invented the tropical modernist movement, effectively merging both local and modernist architecture principles. Bearing witness to the country’s innovative period when he was a child, Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas often referred to Indonesia as a place of reference for urban reinvention. Nowadays, Indonesian architectural practices produce a variety of public and private buildings, often intricately designed and assimilating different cultural and architectural practices. A common approach is the design of hybrid architectural spaces that take advantage of the local climate and promote open-air conditions between architecture and landscape.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Indonesia based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:
