sai.architects Architecture frames life itself. SAI is based in Ukraine and Bali although our team spans the globe.

We are forward thinking architecture and interior design studio founded back in 2020 by creative and ambitious Ukrainian architect Anastasiia Shalun, who’s goal was and still is to provide innovative, sustainable and nature inspired solutions. Despite our youth we have already completed projects for renowned developers in Bali, as well as private villas. Our primary focus as a team is to dissolve

the boundaries between interior and exterior, allowing our buildings to seamlessly connect our clients with nature. Our main objective is to show our customers that they are in harmony with their environment be they inside or outside.

Morning begins slowly here

Soft light filters through the curtains, settles on the textured plaster behind the bed, slips along the pendant lanterns hanging on long cords. The day starts without urgency — barefoot on warm floors, between the bedroom and the bathroom with its freestanding tub.
A house that invites you to slow down.
Two mirrored bedrooms upstairs, each with its own bathroom. Textured plaster traces the line of a wave behind the headboard. The light is soft, diffused — the kind you want to stay in.

The staircase, with its wooden treads and black metal frame, runs through the house like a spine — almost weightless, yet holding the whole volume together.

Downstairs flows as a single space: a kitchen in warm wood veneer opens into the dining area, which opens into the living room with its rounded sofa. Stone, porcelain stoneware, soft boucle — every surface asks to be touched.

Quiet colours, rounded forms, materials warm to the touch. Nothing excessive, nothing loud.

We are forming not an image, but a principle of construction

- Facade as vertical “rice stalks”
Facade louvers are the principal architectural element, used as a structural layer rather than decoration. Their density and spacing are an interpretation of the vertical dynamics of rice stalks, which grow densely yet allow air and light to pass through — no heavy masses, only permeable layers that create privacy naturally, through rhythm and the filtering of light.
- Roof as the “spine of the rice landscape”
Not a standard straight line, but a pulsating, soft silhouette echoing the curves of the Thai fields and the low hills that shape Phuket’s tropical horizon.
- The rice pattern in the planning logic
The architecture of the site is built like a sowing — repetition and displacement of modules, like blocks of a rice field that always touch one another but never repeat identically, instead generating a dynamic of shifts. The villas are arranged in the same way: slightly offset so that each one inhabits its own private micro-scenario, while still belonging to a unified ensemble.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
