Realrich reestablished the long history of craftsmanships in his builder’s family that has been lasted for 3 generations, 60 years of practice since Indonesia Independence. At that time the practice has no name. The relationship between the supervisors and labours was intimate and personal to service some clients. The practice is well known on trust, quality, and its authentic design innovation in the mastery of building construction in Indonesia. RAW Architecture revived the idea of harmonic relationship between the craftsman, designer, people, and buildings as a whole. RAW Architecture has become the manifestation of this belief.
