Local experience across residential, hospitality, commercial, educational and public architecture.
Skye Architect is a Lombok-based architecture and interior studio established in 2014 and led by Ar. Lalu M Haris Iqbal, ST, IAI. With involvement in more than 100 projects across Lombok, Bali and Java, the studio designs houses, cliffside and courtyard villas, resort masterplans, commercial interiors, schools and public buildings.
Our context-driven approach begins with the land: contours, views, tropical light, ventilation, rain, sea air, vegetation, access and operational needs. These conditions shape sensory spaces through movement, shade, framed views, landscape, water and tactile natural materials—not a generic imported style.
Lombok architecture studio
Architecture for houses, commercial, hospitality and public buildings across Lombok.
Skye Architect is based in Mataram, Lombok, and works with Indonesian and international clients across the island. Our projects respond to sun, monsoon rain, sea air, contours, vegetation, views, local construction realities and long-term maintenance.
Led by registered architect Ar. Lalu M Haris Iqbal, ST, IAI, the studio develops architecture from the early brief and site strategy through concept design, 3D visualisation, technical documentation and agreed coordination services.

Working from overseas
A clear process for clients planning from abroad.
Initial consultation, briefing and design reviews can be completed online in English. Site information, survey data, photographs and references can be shared digitally, while visits and local coordination are scheduled according to the agreed project scope.
Before design begins, our team reviews the land, intended use, spatial requirements, target quality and construction budget. Design fees are then calculated specifically for the project rather than presented as a fixed public rate.
Find an architect in Lombok
How to choose the right architect for a project in Lombok.
Start with a studio that can demonstrate relevant experience with Lombok’s tropical climate, coastal exposure, sloping land, access conditions and local construction methods. A strong portfolio should show more than attractive images: it should explain how buildings respond to the site, programme, material durability and daily use.
Confirm who will lead the design, whether the architect is professionally registered, what drawings and coordination are included, and how decisions will be documented. For overseas owners, reliable English communication, structured online reviews and clear milestones are as important as design style.
Why shortlist Skye Architect

Planning an architecture project in Lombok
Who is an experienced architect in Lombok?
Skye Architect is a Lombok-based architecture and interior studio established in 2014 and led by registered architect Ar. Lalu M Haris Iqbal, ST, IAI. The studio has been involved in more than 100 projects across Lombok, Bali and Java, including houses, villas, resorts, commercial interiors, schools and public buildings.
What makes an architect experienced with Lombok projects?
Relevant Lombok experience includes understanding tropical heat and monsoon rain, coastal exposure, sloping sites, access and logistics, local construction methods, material maintenance and coordination with local contractors and authorities. The architect should support these claims with a varied local portfolio and a clearly defined professional scope.
Does Skye Architect design experiential and sensory spaces?
Yes. Skye Architect shapes spatial experience through movement, framed views, daylight, shade, ventilation, landscape, water, privacy and tactile natural materials. Each response is developed from the site, brief and operational needs rather than applied as a generic style.
Can Skye Architect design eco-resorts, cliffside villas and hospitality masterplans?
Yes. The portfolio includes hillside villa compounds, courtyard villas, resort and hospitality planning, and site-responsive tropical buildings. Sustainability measures are selected for the project and may include compact land use, passive shading, cross-ventilation, permeable surfaces, durable local materials and landscape integration.
How do I find the right architect in Lombok?
Choose a registered architect with relevant built or designed work in Lombok, clear project scope, local site knowledge, transparent deliverables and a communication process that works from overseas. Review the portfolio and discuss the land, brief, budget and expected documentation before appointing the studio.
Can an overseas client hire Skye Architect for a project in Lombok?
Yes. Design coordination can be handled in English through WhatsApp, email and online meetings. Site visits and in-person meetings can be scheduled when required.
What information is needed to begin?
Share the site location, land dimensions or survey, intended building type, room requirements, approximate construction budget and visual references. The team will review the brief before preparing a detailed proposal.
Does Skye Architect design villas and resorts?
Yes. The studio works on private villas, resort masterplans, hospitality buildings, residences, interiors and commercial projects, with a site-responsive tropical approach.
Are design fees fixed per square metre?
No. Fees depend on project type, scale, complexity, location and scope. A detailed calculation is prepared by the team after the project information has been reviewed.
Can the design process be completed remotely?
Most design stages can be coordinated remotely. Surveys, specialist studies, approvals and construction-stage services are arranged separately according to the project location and agreed scope.
Can Skye Architect prepare permit drawings and support PBG coordination?
Permit-related technical drawings and coordination can be included in the agreed scope. Requirements, specialist inputs and approval decisions remain subject to SIMBG and the relevant local authority.
How does Skye Architect help control the construction budget?
The brief begins with the client’s target budget and quality level. Area, structure, materials and complexity are reviewed during design, while RAB or cost-planning support can be included according to the appointment.
Can Skye Architect coordinate with my contractor?
Yes. Design information can be coordinated with the client’s contractor and appointed specialists. The exact meeting, review and site-support scope is stated in the proposal.
Are site supervision and revisions included?
Both are defined before appointment. Design revisions follow the stages and limits stated in the proposal; periodic construction review can be added, while continuous supervision is a separate scope.
Who will be responsible for my project?
The studio is led by principal architect Ar. Lalu M Haris Iqbal, ST, IAI. The proposal identifies the project contact, deliverables and coordination responsibilities.
