Ubud studios with the most incredible views and architecture

We always say that even if you’re more interested in design and architecture, Ubud Open Studios is the event for you. For three days, you can access stunning and unusual spaces that also happen to house art and artists.

Ubud Open Studios reveals sanctuaries that are architectural and design wonders in their own right. Step into bamboo structures, greenhouses and reconstituted containers, or find yourself in airy jungle pavilions where the line between studio and nature blurs completely. These exceptional spaces tell stories as compelling as the artwork they house—reflecting each artist's personal journey, aesthetic vision, and relationship with Bali's distinctive landscape. From hidden courtyard studios tucked behind unassuming doors to dramatic cliff-side workspaces with panoramic valley views, these unconventional environments offer a glimpse into how physical space shapes artistic expression.

Below are a few of the most unique spaces that have opened their doors for Ubud Open Studios.

1/ A studio in a succulent garden

Happy Sunday Ubud is a creative studio with roots in performance and visual arts. Happy Sunday is now focusing on providing a creative space for painters and also combining the art and science of terracotta and succulents to make beautiful objects.

2/ The bamboo pavilion that houses architects
IBUKU is known worldwide for its incredible architectural creations. Their studio is no less spectacular. Located in the original Green School Bali kitchen, giant clay ovens are at the base of the building. It then spirals up to house the designers and architects in open-to-the-elements spaces tucked under deep eaves made entirely from bamboo. Below is a picture of one of the highly popular free talks the IBUKU team gives during Ubud Open Studios.

3/ Living with your art

Renown artist Filippo Sciascia splits his time between Bali and Italy. His studio was located within his home and was a rare chance to experience a space that blended living quarters with working areas, offering insight into the artist's daily life.

His “Lux Lumina” project deals with light regarding the human condition; therefore, the information of his future and the relationship of technology blending into the evolution of life itself. He questions science concerning the biology of nature itself and the influence in society to the present day.

4/ Where inside meets outside

Chrystine Forti and Jan Tyniec have their studios in a space that blurs the line between indoors and outdoors. Their respective work is deeply entwined in the natural world and it’s fascinating to see the relationship.
