Our Founder

Gavin Gunawan and Victoria Cuaca, the visionary founders of Atelier Awan, bring a wealth of experience and expertise to our firm.

Gavin Gunawan, born in Jakarta, Indonesia, 1990, is a Binus University alumnus with a degree in architecture. His architectural journey began with a one-year internship at RAW Architecture, where he contributed to housing projects in Jakarta and Makassar. His career as an architect commenced at Studio Tonton in 2013, where he honed his skills in designing diverse projects, from housing to resorts and public facilities.

Victoria Cuaca, also born in Jakarta in 1991, is a fellow Binus University graduate with a degree in architecture. Following after internship at Studio Tonton, she joined Studio Tonton as an architect in 2013. Her involvement in public relations at Studio Tonton complemented her design work. Victoria's passion for interior design led her to join Atelier Awan in 2016 as the Principal of Interior Design.

Gavin and Victoria first crossed paths at Binus University, where they not only competed in architectural competitions but also achieved significant success, garnering accolades in various categories. Their collaborative journey continued beyond university as they embarked on small-scale projects, ranging from residences and offices to retail spaces and custom structures for Honda. Their shared affinity for minimalist design led them to Studio Tonton, a renowned Indonesian architectural firm, where they further refined their skills. In their pursuit of realizing their dreams, Gavin and Victoria ventured to establish their own architecture and interior design firm, Atelier Awan.

Our Design Philosophy

Atelier Awan finds beauty in the simplicity of design. We are captivated by the way white space, shadows, and light can breathe life into forms. Our commitment to minimalism allows our architectural and interior designs to transcend boundaries and adapt to a multitude of concepts. We understand that creating authentic minimalist designs requires mastery of the 12 principles of design: contrast, balance, emphasis, proportion, hierarchy, repetition, rhythm, pattern, white space, movement, variety, and unity.

Our passion for design extends beyond aesthetics; it encompasses the art of crafting spaces that seamlessly integrate with their surroundings, meeting both functional and aesthetic demands.

Atelier Awan is where form and function meet, and where the essence of design shines through the absence of color.
