R A W Architecture. Realrich Sjarief established R A W Architecture in 2011. He reestablished the long history of craftsmanships in his builder’s family that has been lasted for 3 generations, 60 years of practice since Indonesia Independence. At that time the practice has no name. The relationship between the supervisors and labours was intimate and personal to service some clients.

Furthermore, in the current stream, RAW proceeds from the construction excellence are used to sustain the programs and activities of the future of craftsmen in Indonesia, including scholarships for the builder to maintain craftsmanship among the generations.
