(b.1989) Gania is one of the best graduate in Catholic University Parahyangan (UNPAR) Bandung, 2011. Through an internship at Graha Cipta Hadiprana in 2010. Together with Sheilma Agnia Sugandi (wife) and Gianni Setijadi Porto founded a studio called Arkides in 2012. He always tries to create simple designs and try to squeeze the essence of every need, in terms of form, detail, and functions in the built environment that he designs. Today’s systems are utterly complex, architecture is the answer to provide order in this chaos. Strive for simplicity is an extremely relevant notion to information architecture, which already has a strong influence on the field. In a system means that no elements are unnecessary or unnecessarily large, convoluted, or complicated.
(b.1989) She is a cum laude graduate of FSRD ITB 2011, an Internship at well-known studio photographer Darwis Triadi 2009, Trans TV in 2010 and Worked in NYC America as an In House designer in a well-known Medical Device company called ADC (American Diagnostic Corporation).
(b.1993) Graduated from the Architecture department of the National Technology Institute (ITENAS) in 2015. He has joined Arkides in 2016, Peter Marino, and Luis Barragan are his favorite designers/architect. They have the ability to combine several colors and materials into a building's appearance without destroying the aesthetics of the building itself. Their trademark in designing becomes a very strong character and also an awareness of his local identity from where he comes. In terms of how common things inspired his practice, Januar always listens to Antonio Carlos Jobim's music because the music is satisfying and stimulates our mind in designing. Also, He loves to watch Jeremy Wade. He is best known for using fishing as a means to look beneath the surface of human life in remote places. Fishing can bring us closer to nature, so it creates intention in designing to balance the built environment with it.
(b.1996) graduated in BA of Architecture from Parahyangan Catholic University in 2019, He tried to experience architectural practice by himself, learn to design, and build his own project before joined Arkides in 2021. Think about architecture is not only about the looks and beauty of the buildings, it has to be balanced with good planning and process of how it builds. This philosophy made him more interested in doing architectural construction instead of studio designing. Thus, this made him more tactile in materiality and construction experiments, as well as become more delicate to mathematical properties of the building itself.
(b.1979) has joined Arkides in 2017. He has an important role in the studio making architectural and construction drawings of every project. Hiking has been a way of how he balances his work-life after leaving the desktop.
(b.1981) She has a responsibility to take care of the studio finance.
