Hi, my name is
Fajar Afrianshah.
I create architecture's backbone.
I’m a structural engineer specializing in designing (and occasionally analyzing) exceptional structural systems. Currently, I’m focused on creating resilient, sustainable, and innovative designs at Sibambo Studio.
About Me
Hello! My name is Fajar, and I enjoy creating structures that shape the world we live in. My interest in structural engineering started back in my university days when I decided to take on a challenging bridge design project — turns out analyzing load distributions and material properties taught me a lot about engineering principles and creativity!
Fast-forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of working on residential buildings, commercial projects, and industrial facilities, as well as collaborating on innovative seismic-resistant designs. My main focus these days is ensuring safe, sustainable, and efficient structures that meet the needs of both clients and communities.
Here are a few tools I’ve been using recently:
- ETABS
- SAP2000
- Tekla Structures
- Revit
- Autodesk RSAP
- IDEA Statica
Where I’ve Worked
- Sibambo Studio

Structural Engineer @ Sibambo Studio
Jun 2024 - Current
- Design and analyze structures for various projects of residential buildings.
- Perform structural calculations, simulations, and finite element analysis to determine the strength and stability of structures.
- Ensure compliance with building codes, regulations, and industry standards.
- Collaborate with architects, contractors, and other team members to develop effective engineering solutions.
- Prepare technical reports, drawings, and specifications for clients and regulatory authorities.
- Conduct site visits and inspections to assess structural integrity and identify any potential issues.
Some Things I’ve Design
Featured Project
2 Storey House in Meulaboh
Designing this building was both challenging and rewarding. The cantilevered sections required precise engineering with reinforced concrete to balance aesthetics and stability. Integrating vertical greenery added extra load considerations, demanding recalibrated structural support. The open-plan layout necessitated wide-span beams and careful column placement to ensure seamless space and structural integrity.

Featured Project
Essenziale House
Designing this three-storey reinforced concrete building with a rooftop was a rewarding challenge. The 9-metre free span in the garage showcases innovative structural planning, creating open, functional spaces without compromising strength.
Built with earthquake-resistant principles, the structure ensures both safety and durability, blending modern aesthetics with robust engineering. This project reflects my passion for creating designs that harmonise resilience, functionality, and elegance.

Featured Project
Graharsa House
Transforming an existing two-storey home into an elegant three-storey residence, as depicted in the project visualisation, presents a unique engineering challenge. The client has expressed a desire to retain the essence of their existing structure while enhancing its functionality and aesthetic appeal.
This ambitious renovation project required meticulous planning to ensure the structural integrity of the existing building is maintained while accommodating the additional load of the third floor. Leveraging innovative design techniques and a keen understanding of structural dynamics, I embarked on finding the optimal solution to transition a structure originally designed for two storeys into a robust and durable three-storey home.
