Niji House / Patio Livity

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.

Located in the center of Bandung, Jardin House features a design that enforces a modern concept intertwined with nature. This visionary project offers a unique architectural design, accelerating privacy without neglecting the connectivity between functional spaces, ensuring comfort. One of the hallmarks of Jardin House is the innovative use of split-level architecture. The split-level design not only enhances spatial dynamics but also serves as a means to maintain privacy. Despite the segregation of spaces, the fluidity between them remains intact, creating an engaging and cohesive environment.

Grande House / Patio Livity

The Grande house, with its sprawling 56-meter façade, stood as a canvas for architectural creativity while also tackling security and privacy hurdles. Rather than opting for imposing barriers, we took a layered approach to manage sunlight and privacy, employing perforated metal plates, sun-screen louvers, stone walls, and lush vegetation. Each room was carefully crafted to encourage natural airflow and maximize daylight, striking a balance between openness and seclusion. Plus, we wanted to make sure the house looked grand from the get-go, hence the emphasis on horizontal design elements. Our design journey had its fair share of challenges, especially navigating the urban landscape with its privacy, noise, and dust concerns. To tackle these, we came up with a dual-fence strategy: a tall fence facing the slum area and a creatively layered one for the roadside facade, offering security without compromising on aesthetics.
