Sustainable architecture
rooted in nature.
An architectural consulting firm founded by Ar.Ir Tenaya, evolved from Mahatanaya Studio (2012) into Shamala Architect (2025). We design with sustainable materials—bamboo, recycled wood, local brick—creating iconic forms inspired by nature and philosophy. Our architecture prioritizes comfort, spatial efficiency, visual beauty, and positive environmental impact.
— The Studio
Shamala Architect is an architectural consulting firm providing architecture and interior design services. Founded by Ar.Ir Tenaya as principal architect, we focus on environmentally-conscious architecture using sustainable materials like bamboo, recycled wood, and local materials.
— Design Philosophy
Architecture that feels comfortable, efficient & beautiful.
Our designs use analogy concepts to create unique visual forms inspired by nature and philosophy. We prioritize environmental sustainability through natural systems, minimizing site disturbance while maximizing natural light and ventilation.
Shamala Architect evolved from Mahatanaya Studio (established 2012) and transformed in August 2025. We believe architecture must be felt in its comfort, possess spatial efficiency, display visual beauty, and create positive environmental impact.
