Why Alexis Dornier is the hottest architect in Bali right now

In this blogpost I’d like to introduce you to my favorite architect everrrr: Mister Alexis Dornier. Good thing he lives in Bali so it’s relevant to my blog! :)

I had the pleasure of seeing a few of his projects with my own eyes already. I’m telling you, they are spectacular! Please make sure to check some of his work when u are in Bali.

Small introduction to Alexis Dornier:

He was born in Germany (1981), where he studied architecture at the Berlin University of the Arts
After his studies he moved to New York to work as an architectural designer.
In 2013 he relocated to Ubud, Bali where he started his studio and developped insanely beautiful houses (and pushed architectural boundaries), together with his team.
He is the co- founder of Stilt Studios.
Stilt Studios are small houses built on piles that can be easily transported and moved from one place to another. The idea came to him as he tried to find a solution to the current situation in Bali, where a lot of land is rented but only for a limited number of years. The houses can then be placed in the middle of endless plains, on top of hills, hidden in the forest or even in the courtyard of the house and used as a personal studio. In addition to being raised above the ground, the Stilt Studios have large porches, a rainwater collection system, and solar panels, making the house almost totally eco-sustainable.
