instills transparency and contemplativeness in the home.
Combining two functions, home and office, maintains a sense of security within the home while simultaneously increasing work productivity within the home. This maintains a clear boundary between public and private areas, while also creating new areas of adaptable space to integrate family life and work life.
The concept of an integrated home architecture with passive design technology emerged as a solution to this ever-growing problem. Cross-ventilation, arranged with well-placed openings to ensure a comfortable amount of air exchange, channels warm air upwards and exhausts it. Natural lighting is integrated to reduce dependence on artificial lighting and thus reduce energy consumption.
Creating the first "home" in a young family's life journey was a special step and a shared thought. Having previously lived, educating and raising two children in a warehouse complex and living for about five years in a large-scale warehouse building, was inevitable and, in fact, a choice among many possibilities.
The warehouse building was nothing more than a shell or physical enclosure. The owner has been able to live with it to this day, despite all its shortcomings. A "lived-in" quality has emerged in certain conditions, even though the building was not designed for residential use. The "lived-in" quality is closely related to the presence of the occupants within the building's specifically designed spaces. How the occupants' lives flow well within these spaces is important and vital.
The transition between spatial quality and the hope of "lived-in" and "home" qualities is present naturally in the new home.
This house is located in the Sutera Palma housing complex, Alam Sutera, Tangerang. The land, situated on a corner, is in an area with north and west ventilation. The building's shape must help reduce the heat of the sun on the west side, on the left side of the land, and must be able to create privacy for the building, which is visible from the main Alam Sutera highway to the north. The homeowner desires privacy with a variety of functional programs.
