KIAT ARCHITECTS
Nothing is more classy when it comes to a knowledge-sharing more than through a book. “Gentle Proportions: Residence” is a book filled with 10 residential works of Kiat Architects,
a firm initiated and led by Jasin Tedjasukmana, one of the most experienced architects in Indonesia today. He and the firm is known among the architects, prime-property and hospitality developer for his classical work and meticulousness in creating architectural proportions. Although the work is delivering strong messages about quality and refined taste, we see that he delivered it through subtlety. Hence the name “Gentle Proportions”.
Simpul Group assists Jasin Tedjasukmana in the whole process of documenting his firm’s 10 selected works into a book. From consulting the concept, editorial structure, content, photography style, and design, to managing and executing the content production itself by collaborating with the highest interior and architecture photographer, Melanie Tanusetiawan, and our associate/stylist, Lianggono Susanto.
