O4 House / studiokian

Miwa Negoro — Fri, 22 May 2026 02:00:00 +0000

In dense suburban environments, the need for privacy often comes into conflict with the desire for openness and natural light. Located in Alam Sutera, Tangerang, this house explores how spatial sequencing can create a sense of retreat without completely isolating itself from its surroundings. The house is conceived through moments of compression and release, where movement, proportion, and light shape the experience of inhabiting the house. From the street, the house presents itself through layered horizontal volumes and deep recesses that soften the transition between exterior and interior. Vegetation is integrated along the facade and upper edges of the building, allowing the architecture to feel more subdued within the residential streetscape. Rather than emphasizing a singular formal gesture, the façade creates depth through shadow, overhangs, and carefully framed openings.

Niji House / Patio Livity

Hana Abdel — Fri, 25 Oct 2024 20:00:00 +0000

In this project, the main inspiration came from the need to create a home that is not only comfortable but also environmentally efficient. The core concept revolves around making the core of the house the central integration point for various structural elements, utility systems, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), vertical circulation, and building physics. This core was designed to extend from the first to the third floor, serving as a hub for natural light and air, enabling the stack effect. The stack effect creates a natural airflow where hot air rises, keeping the lower levels cooler.

As both architect and homeowner, Helen Agustine designed two residential houses on adjacent corner lots in a tropical climate residential area in South Tangerang, Indonesia. The two homes are connected by an inner courtyard, with the first house accommodating her family of five, including three young children, and the second house serving as a retreat for her grandmother, who visits occasionally, much like a holiday home.

Passive Lab House / RAD+ar (Research Artistic Design + architecture)

Valeria Silva — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 21:00:00 +0000

Intrigued by the big question on how to adapt tropicality in postmodernism's sprawling urban context, this project was meant to be an empty canvas of experimentation on how we can apply basic tropical passive design in an uncommon manner.
