Architecture & Design
Arya Arkananta derived from language of our ancestor (Sanskrit), which means Arya (Noble) whose path is being illuminated or being grant wisdom for a betterment.
Hence our architectural design profoundly based on the deep philosophical meaning of the chosen name, as being taught from the days of our ancestor in ‘TRI HITA KARANA’ balance is the key to create a harmonious living environment.
