UTOMO PYK is an architecture practice based in Bali, Indonesia. We strive for programmatic simplicity, spatial atmosphere and constructional logic to support adaptability and ensure the longevity of the buildings we create. With backgrounds spanning Japan, Switzerland and Sweden, the studio brings together diverse perspectives shaped by years of international experience. Founded in Tokyo in 2022, our work ranges from architectural projects to small objects such as furniture and ceramics. Across all disciplines we aim to create spatial experiences and objects that inspire creativity and encourage meaningful social interaction. Our work seeks to resonate with people, place and context, grounding each project in its specific cultural and environmental setting.
