Project Type : Design and Build Land : 135 sqm Building : 150 sqm Concept : Tropical modern minimalist
Another finished hook type of jouhouse project located in Cibubur is designed in a modern tropical concept of architecture and interior. However, the main idea was to create a more stylish and compact visual of design that translate the client’s needs and wild ideas even in a limited site rather than the common modern tropical concept that is usually represented in a more massive and luxurious type of design.
As maintaining our concern in an efficient, minimalist and healthy design is still our priority while designing the house, open space concept with a lot of openings that builds a fine connection between the indoor and green outdoor area and well-circulated natural air and light came off a great idea that translates all the briefs.
The order of our nature-enthusiastic client is want to have a spacious garden within the house. Moreover, the hook site location, benefiting of gaining more greenery area around the house. The open plan 1st floor sits next to the inner courtyard, which becomes the house's main spectacle, giving the whole area access toward the garden visually and physically.
We keep exploring the whole design to be as simple as possible, be it massing, color tone, opening, or layout to give the highlight to the “SPECIAL ELEMENT”.
The interior is filled with abundant natural light from large openings around the house, supporting healthier living and more efficient electrical usage in daytime. In contrast with the first floor, the second floor is dominated by white tones, aligned with the exterior. Natural stone flooring creates a calm atmosphere for daytime activities and rest at night.
Natural elements and openings establish a fine connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. In the bathrooms, generous skylights frame the clouds and stars, while natural stone walls extend the same material language into the private areas.
On a compact corner site, proportion keeps the house approachable at close range. Brick screens, natural stone and planted edges bring texture to a simple form. Follow the ongoing story on Instagram .
