Although Paulus Mintarga's career began as a contractor, his passion for architecture and design led him to explore the two fields, resulting in Solo's very first eco-boutique hotel, Rumah Turi. The founder of design-house Rempah Rumah Karya, Paulus' approach to design is unique and dedicated to using locally sourced material. We visited the designer and architect in his Rempah Rumah Karya office in Solo, where he shared with us his perspective on design.
