SHAPE HAUS
DESIGNING AND BUILDING VILLAS AND RESORTS ON LEMBONGAN, BALI & LOMBOK.
WORK
Every project we craft tells a story—rooted in heritage, sustainability, and vision. In 2022, we embarked on our journey with Villa Lula in Padonan, achieving remarkable success in the monthly rental market. Building on this foundation, projects like Mizu in Lembongan and Piece in Balangan marked a shift towards timeless, unique designs. By incorporating high building standards, passive cooling techniques, and reclaimed wood and stone, we create spaces that stand the test of time.

Our commitment to quality and sustainability isn’t just for show—it’s how we ensure your investment grows in value and impact. We use only authentic materials like real Teak and river stones to create structures that age gracefully. By prioritizing local heritage and mindful development, we enhance the land rather than deplete it. Our transparency means no hidden costs, and our dedication to the community extends to creating public spaces that uplift Bali’s future. Every decision is made with your long-term success in mind, and that’s a promise we’re proud to keep.
Authenticity
"Only the best, most durable materials—nothing fake, nothing that fades."
Community Impact
"We believe in doing things the right way—honoring local cultural building ceremonies and fostering collaborations with local businesses to create meaningful and authentic projects."
Sustainability
"Simple, we reduce transport, use long-lasting materials and as minimal processed as possible. Think of reclaimed teak as an example."
Transparency
"Full cost breakdowns, so you know exactly where your money goes."

May 2022
In 2022 it all started with buying my first rental property: Villa Lula in Padonan, Bali.Once the building was finished (December 2022) the market was exploding, causes villa Lula to generate €3.000 in revenue where we only expected about 60% of that.Over time i stopped my work as growth hacker (ex-signrequest, ex-mywheels & ex-sprintsandsneakers) and continued to learn more about real-estate development and why i liked it so much.
