Ali Mudafiq is a design unit of Ar. Mase Ltd.—an abbreviation of PT Arsitek Malena Sejati.

We believe that design practice is always encountering the knowledge of human beings and the environment. Therefore, we are striving for “research through design”.

We’re challenging the design method rigorously as science yet freely as an art—to generate novelty in knowledge. Our approach is to perform architecture beyond design. It is not merely a fad—rather, exploring existence into a better living space.

The studio’s running under the principle of Alhamdamar Mudafiq and Alifian Kharisma S.

Ali studied Architecture in Universitas Brawijaya for a Bachelor’s degree and in Universitas Indonesia for a Graduate degree. While, Mudafiq graduated from Universitas Gunadarma in 2015 with a Bachelor of Engineering—studied a subject of Architecture Engineering.

They both have been mates at RAW architecture office—one of the well-known architecture firms in Indonesia and globally—for five years. Then, they did design practice separately from 2018 until ultimately reunited in 2023. They founded Ar. Mase Ltd. in November—the same year, and run its studio which they named Ali Mudafiq in January—the following year.
