About

ZED Collective is a small design studio based in Bali focused on creating remarkable landscapes. We believe our role will turn dreams into reality through shared journeys between the client and designer.

We considers all aspects of the existing, environmental, designed, invented and managed realm. Uniting these aspects with the cultural, social, sustainable and historic stories of a place, to create landscape architecture with a vision of meaning and identity, a design of function, practicality and build-ability, a solution which touches the ground lightly, and a landscape which responds to the environmental ecosystems (whether natural, urban, flora and fauna).

Design Approach & Methodology

Chapter One

Informat1on

Starting from a place of no assumptions, where having no idea becomes the foundation for creativity. In a world where information is everywhere, this approach challenges us as the designer to navigate beyond the obvious, sift through noise, and create a meaning out of ambiguity. It encourages curiosity over certainty, exploration over resolution, and synthesis over replication. Rather than starting with fixed answers, design in ZED collective becomes a process of uncovering, questioning, and constructing new connections, transforming scattered data into intentional experiences.

Chapter Two

expe2ience

The Epicenters on the power of experience and memory—acknowledging that the past holds valuable lessons that shape meaningful creations. By learning from what has come before, design becomes a reflective process that draws on lived experiences, cultural memory, and emotional resonance. Rather than starting from scratch, it honors the layers of time, using them as a foundation to build something new. Each gesture, material choice, or spatial composition is informed by what has been felt, seen, and understood, allowing the design to carry forward a sense of continuity while still evolving into something relevant and original.

Chapter Three

id3a

Through constant study, reflection, and refinement, the design evolves organically—guided by intuition as much as analysis. Tools like sketches and diagrams are not just representations but active thinking instruments, helping to visualize complexity, test possibilities, and communicate intent. This principle celebrates the messy, dynamic process of making—where each mark, line, and concept brings the design closer to clarity and purpose. The journey from idea to realization, where imagination fuels exploration and creativity. It values the iterative process of trial and error, embracing mistakes as essential steps toward of the innovation.

Chapter Four

des4in

It is about blending the idea with wishful thinking, transforming aspirations into tangible expressions through a clear and intentional narrative. It begins with a vision—often idealistic or bold—and channels it into a clear message that resonates with others. Here, storytelling becomes a vital tool, giving meaning to form and function by anchoring each element in a larger context or emotional journey. Design is not just about solving problems, but about communicating values, dreams, and identity in a way that others can feel and understand. Through this point of view, every detail serves the story—elevating the experience from the functional to the unforgettable.

coll5ctive

ZED collective is about emphasizes the balance between design and technical precision, where theory and experience come together to inform thoughtful and buildable solutions. At its core is the power of the collective—a recognition that great outcomes are rarely the work of one, but the result of strong teamwork. Collaboration allows diverse perspectives to shape a richer, more unique design, while ensuring that technical details are addressed with care and accuracy. Each team member brings a different strength, and when aligned, theory turns into strategy, ideas become reality, and the final product is not only creatively distinct but functionally sound. A good result, in this view, is the harmony of vision and execution—made possible by trust, skill, and
