Text description provided by architect.

When you do a half done building that needs recomposing on basically everything in it, then a strategy should be done seamlessly to connect all the given conditions, the problem arose after, the new expectation from the client, first before the new architect give any aesthetic agenda in it.

The project starts with an already erected one storey concrete columns with a later concern from the client in terms of the facade and fengshui. First things first is restructuring the plan to meet the updated fengshui requirement.

Then gathering more information on what the client really expected at the first place that doesn’t meet the design. And after that the architect can actually started tuning in.

The notion of a very strong modern tropical looks and massing chosen to connect all the dots above thus resulting a working program and convenient dwelling that actually stand alone in a middle of a newly open housing cluster without a proper shades of trees from the harsh climate especially in dry season of Bandung, Indonesia.

The main facade reflects the needs of the shades by articulating small timber profiles into horizontal louver hiding the master area that obeys the fengshui to be positioned at the higher level of the house and guarding the house as a frontier. The shades are the shields.

The horizontal lines continue inside at a lower level to softly divide services and privates by articulating local stone also into louver allowing view to inspect out and together with the gate and the travertine lines trying to make the building looks more lowed down rather than standing out.

The low horizontal impression even strongly generated inside the gate.

Clearly can be seen behind from the farthest point that the building mass broken into two with pilotis arrangement providing large terrace on the lower floor to serve not only the user needs of gathering space but also transitional distance to keep the building skin as far as possible from direct sunlight.

The same principle applied upstairs where overhang dominantly mark the needs of the shades joining the same shield expression from the facade, vertically.

It also provides some room for personal touch with decorative items.

Kitchen is one of the most fundamental spaces in any house. This one in particular marries the luxury of white matte lacquer panels with the warmth of walnut wood veneer.

The details are meant to justify the contemporary feeling, which is made by simple lines and impeccable proportions, creating a totally balanced look for sophisticated, yet discrete luxury.

Lastly is the grand entrance foyer where form follows function concept is clearly shown.
