Bali Architecture
& Villa Design

Our standard design process takes 3 to 6 months from first brief to final documentation. For clients with an urgent timeline, we offer a fast-track service that can deliver concept designs within 4 to 6 weeks.

Yes. While our core market is Bali, we accept architectural design commissions internationally. Our team works remotely throughout the design process. Site visits can be arranged at an additional cost.

We start with a full project brief, then move through concept design, 3D render presentations, design revisions, and final construction documentation. You have input and sign-off at every key stage.

Absolutely. We can design to any site constraints, orientation, and local planning requirements. Just share your land documents and we will take it from there.

Architectural design fees in Bali vary widely. Budget firms charge $3,000 to $5,000 USD but often deliver basic drawings with no 3D renders or construction documentation. At Balitecture, full residential design packages start from $10,000 USD and include concept design, photorealistic 3D renders, detailed floor plans, elevations, sections, MEP coordination, and a complete construction documentation set. If you build with us, we discount the design fee by 50%.

Yes, and we do this on almost every project. If you are targeting Airbnb short-stays, we optimise for Instagram-worthy angles, guest privacy, and operational flow for cleaning teams. If you are targeting long-term tenants, we prioritise storage, practical kitchens, and noise separation. We can also design dual-key layouts that allow you to live in one unit and rent the other.

We deliver architectural drawings in PDF, DWG (AutoCAD), and Revit formats. 3D renders are provided as high-resolution JPEG and PNG files. Virtual walkthroughs are delivered as video files or interactive web links. All documentation is compiled into a structured package that your builder can work from directly.

Yes, this is available as an additional service. We can prepare and submit all IMB (building permit) documentation to the local authorities on your behalf. Our in-house legal advisor ensures your design complies with Bali zoning regulations, setback requirements, building height limits, and land-use classifications before submission.

Of course. Our process includes multiple review stages where you can provide feedback and request revisions. Major layout changes are best made during the concept design phase, as changes during construction documentation are more time-intensive. We include two rounds of revisions at each stage as standard.

Concept design is the creative phase - spatial layouts, massing, style direction, and 3D visualisations. It answers the question: what will this villa look and feel like? Construction documentation is the technical phase - detailed drawings with exact dimensions, structural engineering, electrical layouts, plumbing runs, and material specifications. It answers the question: how exactly do we build this? Both are essential. A concept without documentation cannot be built accurately, and documentation without a strong concept produces generic results.
