The studio’s first international commission, the Nusantara National Equestrian Centre, is under construction in Indonesia.
Equestrian architecture is a specialist field. A national equestrian centre, a competition venue or a stud farm calls for a working knowledge of how horses, riders, grooms and spectators move through a site, of biosecurity and surface, of climate and ventilation.
The studio has built that knowledge across more than two decades of Australian equestrian work, at every scale from a private stable to a national centre. The same method, and the same attention to the regional climate, travels.
The Nusantara National Equestrian Centre.
The studio's first major international commission: the national equestrian centre for Nusantara, Indonesia's new capital.
Nusantara is Indonesia’s new capital, and its national equestrian centre is the studio’s first major international commission. The brief brings together competition arenas, stables and supporting infrastructure, designed from the start for a tropical climate. The project is currently under construction.

South-East Asia
The tropical climate sets the brief: ventilation, shade, water, and materials that hold up to heat and humidity. The studio has designed for those conditions in Indonesia and in humid sub-tropical Queensland, and that experience carries directly into equestrian work across the region.
The Middle East
Equestrian culture runs deep across the region. The demands of arid-climate equestrian design, heat, dust, water and shade, are a natural extension of the studio's specialist work. Luke Jones Architects welcomes enquiries from owners and institutions planning equestrian facilities in the region.
