About SHL Asia Founders

SHL Asia was launched in 2010 when Sasta Jelantik and Jung Yat, colleagues in an international design studio, decided to start their own company to realise their creative vision fully. Sasta Jelantik and Jung Yat shared a common interest in art, architecture, and design, nurtured from childhood by their families. Their talent and passion contributed to valuable experience and success, but their desire for complete creative freedom led them to establish a studio that has become one of Asia’s finest in design and architecture.

Desa Kala Patra Philosophy

Over the years, the SHL Asia team has grown with a diverse, creative group united by the principles of Desa Kala Patra. As quoted from their book Timeless Harmony, this ancient Balinese philosophy reflects the flexibility of Balinese society to respond to a certain place (Desa), time (Kala), and condition (Patra). It forms the foundation for personalised designs that respond to each client’s dreams, incorporating local culture, art, and nature to elevate the design experience.

The MERCI Approach

The uniqueness and elegance of SHL Asia’s projects stem from their company culture, MERCI—Mindset, Empathy, Research, Collaboration, and Integrity. To capture and realise the client’s dream, the team starts from scratch. Through detailed communication, they understand the vision intimately. Via MERCI, they craft sublime designs that complement the client’s story, forging valuable memories and emotions.

This synergy of client vision, designer creativity, engineering expertise, and Bali’s natural and cultural heritage births modern architecture enriched with Indonesian and Balinese values. Across Asia, luxury hospitality and residential projects showcase SHL Asia’s exquisite architectural, interior, landscaping, and lighting solutions.

Thus, SHL Asia harnesses the natural uniqueness and creativity of each participant to create integral, meaningful, emotional indoor and outdoor spaces—blending beauty, functionality, memories, and inspiration.
