About

Blancostudio was founded in 2020 by Balinese architect and designer Conchita Blanco. With a background in both architecture and design, she brings a deep appreciation for artistic heritage and craftsmanship.

We offer a fully customized service—spanning master planning, architecture, and interior design, all the way to the finest details. Our work goes beyond structure and space; we believe every element contributes to the narrative of a project. From bespoke furniture to decorative lighting, each piece is anchored in place, purpose, and story. Materials are chosen for their integrity, cultural context, and ability to age gracefully over time. The result is a layered design that feels grounded and true to its environment.

About

Design Philosophy

At Blancostudio, we approach design with a commitment to crafting timeless spaces that foster a deep connection between people and their surroundings. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that true timelessness goes beyond aesthetics—it is about creating environments that remain relevant and meaningful for generations. To achieve this, we draw inspiration from the rich cultural and architectural heritage of each location, blending traditional elements with thoughtful, contemporary design. By respecting the history and spirit of a place,

we ensure that every space we create not only endures physically but also retains its emotional and functional significance over time. Preserving heritage is a vital part of our philosophy, but it doesn’t mean merely recreating the past. Instead, it’s about reimagining tradition through modern design, using traditional materials and techniques in innovative ways. Collaboration with local artisans is essential to this process, as it ensures that traditional crafts and methods are seamlessly integrated into contemporary design.

Sustainable Craftsmanship

The deliberate pace of local craftsmanship plays a significant role in fostering a more sustainable design practice. By taking time to craft with care and precision, artisans minimize resource use, reduce waste, and prioritize quality over mass production. This thoughtful, intentional approach not only preserves traditional methods but also promotes mindful, eco-conscious consumption—one that values longevity and durability in design.

At our studio, our close collaboration with the artisans of Kalpa Taru has led to creations that celebrate local craftsmanship while addressing modern needs. By selecting local materials and understanding their sourcing, we create designs that are not only meaningful but also contribute significantly to environmental sustainability.

Our work primarily focuses on natural materials, as they carry the essence of time and history. We find beauty in the patina of these materials, embracing their natural aging as an integral part of our designs, adding layers of authenticity. Our palette stays true to its origins—red from bricks, gray from river stones, gold from brass, and wood in its natural state. This dedication to authenticity ensures that every design reflects place, tradition, and timelessness.
