From the architect. The Residence that located in Sunter area take a concept of resort that combined with modern geometric shapes but still regarding aspects of the locality.
With a limited size of the site, the Architect tried to bring a Courtyard concept into the house as a central mass of the building, so the courtyard become a source of light and natural air circulation. Every room in this house have an orientation to the courtyard, so the house become more healthy and energy saving. Furthermore the concept resort is also felt in the foyer area where we’ve been “entered” into the house, but still seem to be outdoors because of the courtyard / open space that creating the impression of there is no boundary between outer space and the inside space. The Architects also applied a sloping roof in this house and used a local material likes exposed karawang stone that intended to bring a locality of Indonesia in this house.
The Religious side of home owner also inspired the Architects to translate that essence into the design in more modern context. The shape of triangle that resemble of a Chapel combined with box shape create a contemporary looks that makes this residence unique among its surrounding. Another interesting design is how to process the facade of the building by combining massive and transparent form that obtain from arrangement of the hollow steel to give a modern looks.
Section
The Facade of the building is dominated by the white color to give a simple and clean looks also to create a spacious effect. The used of white color also because it produces a soothing atmosphere not only to the owner but also the surrounding.
Just like the exterior, the interior of the residence also features an abstract white color is combined with a touch of natural colors likes brown wood color and terracotta to create a resort looks alike but displayed in more contemporary ambiance. The interior is designed to be simple with the used of built-in furniture to give the impression of compact and integrated with the building. This can be seen on the floor of the reading room where the owners desire to have a reading room accommodated in the form of a built bookcase and attic area which also used as a reading lounge.
Interior and landscape area designed connected with the architectural design concept that brings contemporary tropical shades. Landscape design is more simple and modest like dry garden that mixed with some easy maintenance trees so that more clean and give a modern looks.
A: 900mm high concrete base, which can protect the wood from the rain and water. B: wood bent structure with 3.6 meters distance. C: two way folded roof with skylight.
Structure system
The wood columns take the vertical load, and a solid concrete core takes the horizontal load. The core is operated as a precise machine: carve the solid volume by the circulation, function and the view.
We also combine the different functions with the concrete baseaccording to the locations: can be a showcase, cabinet, coffee bar or even a sofa lounge.
In two corners where the roof goes to the ground there is double height space. We put Electric skylight above ,whichallows light into these spaces and also improve the ventilation.
The whole building is a wood pavilion with a clear logic, thus we treat the interior design in a simple way: expose the original concrete, wood, steel materials and the joint as much as possible. Only hide the lights and equipments.
This house is in Osaka city, the back of the Karahori shopping district. This site of the only 66 square meters is located in the place where entered 30m the alley from the road.
Site is a corner lot in contact with the crank. On the south side of the site, there is stone wall exceeds the height 4m and 2 or 3-story house has been built on it. Also other three sides of the site has surrounded by a three-story building.
Standing on the site, I felt like being in the bottom of a well. First, I tried to capture the stone walls in the house.
Floor Plans + Elevations
But it was rejected to the client. Because they’re not good at small animals and insects. So, direction of the design was headed to the Urban Housing that is completely contained inside.
But I wanted to be left a little relationship with the surroundings. I was allowed to extend the alley in this house and placed glass-walled entrance, glass-walled light garden and glass-walled sanitary space ahead of the approach (the wall mirror has emphasized the depth).
Private space spacious has adopted the light from three light yard provided inside of the outer wall.
Sections
Although especially large fixed window is facing the service Terrace, I chose the abstract light (rather than show a embodying, such as the laundry) by paste the Japanese paper in the window over the entire surface.
In the night, the silhouette of bamboo planted outside is reflected on this screen.
There is a square window on top of the light garden next the entrance, also this window is affixed Japanese paper to hide the outside view. The traditional materials of Japan “Japanese paper” has created an abstract and modern space. As not “Shoji Joinery” but “Shoji Screen”
Our clients purchased a late 1970’s modernist brick beach house in Noosa, Australia for a subtropical retreat from the cool Victorian climate. The house was located on a wonderful site that backed onto the Noosa National Park and surfing beaches. The existing dark brown brick residence, although well constructed at the time, had visually dated quite badly and did not take best advantage of the amazing site that backed onto a subtropical rainforest. The owners brief was to modernise the house while retaining as much of the existing building structure as possible.
One of the challenges with the existing house is that it did not take full advantage of the fantastic location backing onto the national park. The rear of the house was largely a solid brick wall looking onto this beautiful view. We proposed carving out a series of new openings in the rear wall so that bedrooms and bathrooms would look out onto this very private serene landscape. Originally, the house was quite dark internally so we pushed a series of timber lined light wells up through the roof. This allowed natural light to flow in from a high level, as well from the new openings in the brick walls.
The other significant challenge to modernise the existing house was how to transform the front street elevation. The original house had an unflattering rough dark brown brick facade with two equally brown garage doors. A separate consideration was that the street elevation faced east and hot morning sun would blast in through the kitchen and dining windows in summer. Our approach was to render the brick in a natural cement finish and design a beautiful timber screen that sat in front of the original facade. This light weight hardwood structure resulted in a refined modern elevation to the street, while also providing sun protection and privacy for the internal spaces.One of the most unique and delightful design elements of the new house is the semi outdoor bathrooms that look out onto the national park. The original house had an aged light brown plastic shower unit that sat on the back deck, where you could shower outside looking into the forest. The owners loved this feature, so we designed the new bathrooms as hardwood boxes with copper fittings that are largely open onto the private subtropical rainforest.

The first piece of the new Bauhaus Museum Dessau will be set into place this weekend as part of the “Bauhaus Building 90th Anniversary” event, one year after Barcelona architects González Hinz Zabala were selected as the winners of a fierce international competition for the commission.
“We succeeded, in collaboration with the architects, to further densify the museum concept in the process. The approach by González Hinz Zabala – to envision the Bauhaus Museum Dessau as an interplay between a hermetic spatial structure and an open-plan ground floor – now appears even more convincing. Also because the complex was given more of an aesthetic workshop character in this planning effort,” said Claudia Perren, BauhausDessau Foundation director.
“This does not only correspond to the Bauhaus idea but also reflects the professional identity of the young generation of architects: Away from representational towards and interacting edifice with much room for experiments. I am positive that the Bauhaus Museum Dessau will become a very vibrant and open place.”
The design is envisioned as a dual structure system – on the second floor a “Black Box” gallery will house the program elements of “collection, custody and care,” with an airtight spatial structure to present the collection. Its counterpart on the ground floor is a flexible “open stage” space that will allow a variety of stagings and events to connect to the surrounding park and open space.
“All in all, it was a very dense iterative planning process that has yielded very convincing results. We optimised the volume of the building, including planning of usable areas, developed a convincing air-conditioning solution in interaction with the glass façade and matched interior materials to the museum program and function,” said Frank Assmann, head of the BauhausDessau Foundation Construction Department.
The Bauhaus Museum Dessau is scheduled to be completed in time for 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus foundation in 2019. Upon completion, it house the huge collection of the BauhausDessau Foundation, whose 40,000 exhibits make it the second-largest Bauhaus Collection in the world.
