Located in an urban neighborhood in Yogyakarta, this building stands on a site of 652 m2. This project began with client needs for residential and ideas of having a boarding house business.
The primary objective is to concentrate on uniting the two functions of the building while preserving users' privacy and ensuring that each function of this building does not overlap with others; moreover, to compose an outstanding yet comfortable composition by reflecting on the climate aspect.
The site is elongated, having the residential zone on the front side and the boarding zone on the rear. The entrance for each function of the building is separated.
The residential can be accessed directly from the front of the building, whereas the boarding area can be accessed by a route on the northern side of the building, limiting interaction between each user.
Once entering the access on the north side of the building, the visitors are directed to the parking area. Despite the rooms hanging at the top of the parking space, the parking area is relatively large and has no columns in the middle.
The boarding section includes boarding rooms as well as a pantry and communal lounge on each story up to the rooftop area that allows boarding occupants to socialize.
The building typology adapts to its surroundings and climate by using gable roofs and natural, breathable, and low-maintenance materials.
Open spaces also settle outside and inside the room, allowing air circulation and sunlight to enter every room in the building.
The building facade is the first impression of the building, consisting of a concrete and terracotta roster arrangement to absorb natural light from the east.
The roster materials are randomly arranged and have varying depths to give this building an eye-catching appearance.
There is an inner courtyard in the middle of the residential area that connects to the void on the second floor and a large skylight, which enables smooth air circulation and natural lighting to enter every room in the residential area.
The boarding area's focal points are the vertical circulation zone and the pantry. From the first floor to the roof, there are voids that aim to increase airflow and natural lighting.
Each room utilizes a cross-ventilation system to provide thermal comfort for the boarding house's occupants.
At the end of the corridor and around the boarding area, there is also a mini garden connected to the void on the second floor, with the intention that every room in the boarding area can have an opening to the open space.
Slits lead from each room to the corridor area. With apertures opposite each other, air circulation in the room becomes smooth, and every room gains natural light.
