Hello! I’m Utami, a Marketing Intern at Bukit Vista, and I’m thrilled to share our latest Bali Business Review featuring Vincent Chiesa from Hatiku Indonesia. In this segment, we dive into the impactful contributions of Hatiku Indonesia in the realm of Bali interior design. Founded by Vincent Chiesa, Hatiku Indonesia is a standout architecture and design studio that has been crafting unique spaces in Bali for over a decade. The studio specializes in blending traditional Indonesian aesthetics with modern design principles to create functional, visually appealing environments for both commercial and residential projects.

The Philosophy of Heart and Heritage

Hatiku Indonesia chose its name to reflect a deep appreciation for Indonesian culture, highlighting the use of the Indonesian word ‘Hatiku’, meaning ‘my heart’, to stand out among local businesses that often opt for foreign terms to appeal internationally. This choice underscores Hatiku Indonesia’s love for Indonesia and the heartfelt dedication of their workers in everything from onsite construction to factory settings. 

The team of 12 includes skilled architects, civil engineers, and MEP specialists, along with furniture design experts who support the creation of tailored Bali villa design, Bali interior design, and Bali architecture projects. We handle a range of assignments from full-scale residential projects, including Airbnb villas, to small boutique hotels, always aligning the work with the specific needs of clients, ensuring everything from the initial design to the final production meets their exact requirements.

Tailored Bali Interior Design Solutions for Diverse Needs

Hatiku Indonesia’s expertise in Bali architecture and interior design stems from a deep understanding of the local market gained over 14 years. They prioritize client needs, eschewing one-size-fits-all solutions for personalized design strategies. This approach begins with a thorough consultation to determine project scope and client expectations concerning Bali villa design, residential layouts, or commercial interiors. Recognizing the critical role of budgeting, we meticulously plan and refine our designs to align with financial constraints, ensuring each project is feasible without compromising quality. Their commitment to listening and adapting to client needs sets us apart, making them a trusted partner in turning visionary concepts into tangible realities.

This is combined with modern design elements to create spaces that are both functional and visually appealing. 

Hatiku indonesia’s design process is highly attentive to the details of craftsmanship and cultural authenticity, ensuring that even the most contemporary spaces retain a sense of Indonesian identity. This approach allows us to cater to a variety of client preferences, from those seeking a subtle incorporation of Indonesian elements to others desiring a more pronounced traditional influence, all while maintaining a high standard of modern comfort and style.

Case Study: The Success of Milliways Bali

In collaboration with Milliways Bali, an Airbnb success story in Ubud, Hatiku Indonesia focused on enhancing the rental experience beyond mere aesthetics. They served as the styling architects for their second villa, which has seen tremendous success. Their approach was not merely to fill the space with high-end amenities but to thoughtfully design each aspect of the villa to improve how guests experience their stay. 

This included considering the functionality of the space to ensure comfort and creating memorable experiences for guests, such as integrating seamless indoor-outdoor living areas that highlight Bali’s natural beauty rather than overwhelming spaces with excessive features like oversized pools or saunas. Hatiku Indonesia’s work with Milliways Bali showcases our commitment to creating spaces that are not just visually appealing but also deeply resonant with the needs and expectations of those who inhabit them.
