Textual content description offered by the architects. D Home is a small home that’s constructed on land of 150 sqm and positioned within the dense neighborhood of a comparatively outdated complicated in West Jakarta. One of many challenges when designing this home is that the street in entrance of the home is comparatively slender with solely approx. 5 meters width, thus making it really feel actually near the neighbor throughout, on the identical time, having to fulfill the consumer’s want to maximise the constructing space.
The automobile storage, service space, and visitor bed room are positioned on the first degree of this home, whereas the extra public perform rooms, such because the praying/gathering room, front room, and eating room, are positioned on the 2nd ground, and extra personal areas like bedrooms are on the third ground. By distributing the rooms this manner, we’re in a position to freely open the second ground to the character and outside gathering space, making an unbiased oasis in the midst of the dense neighborhood.
The fundamental precept of spatial design of this home is compress and launch, whereas the doorway lobby on the first ground is designed to be low-ceiling, muted materials, and significantly slender. As quickly as we stroll up the steps and search for, mild punctures deep into the complete area from the intersected void and skylight on the 2nd and third ground, and at last, we will probably be grandiosely welcomed by the brilliant open area that’s the praying/gathering room. It’s strategically positioned on the break up degree between the first and 2nd ground to get a high-ceiling really feel as it would grow to be the primary room that friends encounter. This room will be totally opened to the semi-outdoor terraces, the place the stair steps will be an extension of the seating areas. After the gathering occasions, friends will probably be naturally directed into the lounge and eating room via this outside terrace, the place they are going to be having fun with meals and drinks. After the gathering is finished, dishes will probably be transferred down by dumbwaiter from the pantry to the kitchen beneath to be cleaned. This type of circulation is what we imagined within the very first step of designing this home.
The steps from the 2nd to the third ground, in addition to the railings, are designed to be as mild and clear as potential to maintain the home as open as potential since websites are restricted. The entrance a part of the home is well-layered, with a backyard and a wall of glass blocks. The glass block materials is chosen to maximise privateness on the façade of this home for the reason that across-neighbor may be very shut and, on the identical time, brings subtle pure mild to the inside (the nice room and stairs’ massing). These identical glass blocks are used on the ceiling within the praying room to create a extra sacred really feel, uplifting the sense of discovery as it’s the important theme of this home.
