Located in a housing area in Buah Batu Bandung, this residence is trying to express the vibrant, dynamic and yet ’cool’ character of the owner. The owner is a young and successful bussiness man who owns a famous local fashion brand.

The site is only 160 m2, not too big compared to the neighbors around the site and the shape is nearly square. It make us difficult in the beginning to arrange the layout, especially the shape of the site is near square. Other fact: the site is  in the corner of the road. So we have to sacrifice 2 side of the site for greenery according to local law, we cannot build a permanent structure at that greenery and that challenge us to effectively arrange the lay out to fit the owner needs.

The main idea is to create a box which we articulated according to the spatial function inside. The main volume is the master bed room and the living room. We put the main entrance in the corner as a respond to the corner of the site. We put service area in the back area of the site to hide it from public.

The construction is still in progress and expected time to finish is in the middle of April 2010. Click here for more images.
