A residence
with area of 120 m² was processed with the basic composition of simple
geometric that has squares and rectangles shape that aligned with white
on all building walls. The uniqueness of this house, although the land
only measuring 6m x 20m, the architect still make a courtyard in the
middle of the building, even equipped with a waterfall and fish pond.
This house is simple, with the dominance of white in interior processing
and the mirror area design, make the room inside the house has spacious
impression. This building has been renovated twice. The first was in
1991, when the architect just did a little addition to the old building.
While the second renovation, it’s done totality after this house
occupied several years. When the total renovation done, only a few
concrete structures that were still maintained and the building was made
level.
The
architect explore by using teak as strong accent that placed randomly
at the main entrance and the stairs. General lighting radiates warmth
white rays. Lighting system using a timer, so when the dark, the light
on automatically, thus saving energy. This house has three bedrooms with
the master bedroom that quite unique because it has a mezzanine. The
existence of the inner court allows air and light can enter freely into
the room, making this house environmentally friendly. Clean kitchen
placed overlooking the inner court that aimed removing smoke directly.
This is the perfect solution for the house in urban area with limited area, but still notice the comfort of room inside the house so it felt more hommy.
This
house is overlooking west which always exposed to heat continuously.
Whereas the bottom of the living room, should get a lot of openings
toward the front. The solution, the top of the building moved forward
with the aim of providing shade for the room underneath. While the upper
room, because there are two children’s bedrooms, the window openings
were given profile (fin antidote to sunlight) like the letter “U” in
order to provide shadow to the window, so no direct sunlight. Although
small house, the architect still pursue a house concept that energy
efficient and environmentally friendly. Building on the west side using
double walls with the wall method overlooking west and given vacuum
cavity and Polycarbonate layer in front, the purpose of this method is
to lower the room temperature in west side, so it’s not overheat.
Among
the brick wall and Polycarbonate placed the lamp as lighting at night.
The effect, at night the gap that given the lamp will light on and make
the wall like luminous, so that the building will be light. This
treatment gives a different effect between day and night. People who
used to pass the afternoon, at night they could be stopped, surprised.
They will say “Is this the same house or not?” because the presence of
the light effect. This is the tricks that should be considered although
small and simple house. With limited area, this house was made as high
as two half floors with large window openings, the use of skylight in
the inner court and the bridge that use the jilumesh framework making
this dwelling looks bright and light. The materials composition such as
steel, glass and jilumesh used to provide a contemporary industrial
image.
At
the back, there’s hobby room because the owner likes sewing. With a
full glass constantly upward, making the room looks more bright and
spacious, so when the power outages at night, this house is still
ablaze, because the moonlight into the building. So that wind can flow
faster, the architect still make the courtyard in the middle and at the
back. The room at back can make the owner sleeps when working because
the wind is very good, breeze because of air pressure. This building is
located in the complex, so the neighbors who came here giving a response
that this house is bigger than their house, whereas the same land area.
This impression presents because this house is designed with an open
concept. Where the living room and dining room are fused and there is no
pole at all in the middle. Via
