Founded in 2019 by architects Antonin Hautefort and Ignatio Tenggara, Pendhapa embodies the fusion of visionary perspectives stemming from a cross-cultural exchange between the two. While Antonin is french, Ignatio grew up in Indonesia and Singapore. They met in London at The Architectural Association School of Architecture.
