The Ribbon | Jakarta, INA
The Ribbon is a renovation project located in Regatta apartment, Jakarta Indonesia, which is known as the clusters of buildings by the sea that manifest sailing yachts.
The challenge is to transform the impersonal and cold space into a cozy ambiance. While accommodating lots of storage for the newly married couple. This ambiance was translated by the earthy color palette, a use of organic elements to make the space natural with clean lines in furnishings as the final emphasis.
The design features a beauty of oak grain through its pattern and texture. Wrapping a continuous undulated surface from the living room to the kitchen area like a ribbon. This helps better transition movement for each space. As the undulated surface wrapping through, it creates spaces that are cut with white boxes, which provide areas for reading nook and pantry. The lower parts of the ribbon are slightly lifted, the ceilings are partly cut, and both are lit by LEDs. Therefore, they become a field of ambient lighting, forming an atmospheric element throughout the apartment.

STRATEGIC OPENNESS | Jakarta, INA
In Pantai Indah Kapuk neighborhood, land lots are divided in a narrow fashion that houses with typical conventional yard have difficult access to natural ventilation, a separation of living space and garden.
We offer a new type of urban typology – strategically placing volumes and carving voids in the dedicated lot. This allows living spaces to integrate with intimate inner courtyards and terraces. Cross ventilation in this humid condition is encouraged simply with openings onto 2 parallel sides. The house has pleasant access to natural lights, allowing a comfortable degree of illumination almost without any active interior lighting during the day.

Bintaro Residence | Tangerang, INA
Bintaro Residence design is highly driven by an attention to its natural context and climatic condition.
Located in Sektor 9, Tangerang, Indonesia. Situated at the end of the street block and surrounded by beautiful trees. Our approach seeks to engage on the boundaries of contemporary and vernacular architecture style of Indonesia.
Inspired by the spatial experience of lumbung padi (Indonesian Rice Barn). Typically built on four poles and stage between 1.5m-2m above ground. The upper area is used for drying and storing harvested rice. While the platform underneath is raised from the ground to serve as meeting place for village residents to have both business and social activities.
The spatial transformation is mixed with natural and modern material. Combining concrete and steel structure to raise the private bedrooms from above the ground. The architectural order is created through the basis of triangular geometry. Punctured with a cone shape extrusion of skylight to restore the unity between house and nature (light and wind) that was lost in the older Rumah Adat’s typology. All ceilings are slanted, allowing an intimacy and a direct sky view from the openings. Nested underneath is the open planned living room. Connected by a central spiral staircase that blurs the connection between indoor/outdoor. With all sides frameless, retractable sliding doors for the perimeter of the garden.

3-in-1 Living | Jakarta, INA
Understanding the limitation of a compact space,
The design for the apartment is to accommodate a young married couple comfortably. Their brief was to have an area for yoga, as many storage spaces, kitchen space, dining space, and lounging space in the 16sqm size of its living room. The master bedroom on the other hand, was requested to be simple and clean, providing enough storage and display spaces. The challenge was to provide all amenities necessary with some additional effort of converting the living space to fit everyday needs.
The solution was a single strategy to create a transformable built-in cabinet that can be used with great flexibility and change its appearance during the day and by the uses. A custom dining bench and table fold out of the wall to transform the living space into a dining room. A custom sofa is embedded in the cabinet using Bi-Fold system to save more space. When all the panels are closed, the clutter is hidden inside, the living space allows some extra activities like yoga and home workout to take place.
The nuance is kept minimalist with white surfaces and white carrara countertop marble, magnifying the feeling of space and light. Mirror walls are deployed in the space to create a sense of depth and add dimension to the space. Both the master bedroom and bathroom are connected with a translucent pivot metal door to maximize the daylight penetration. Sliding panels are used to hide unorganized closet in the rooms or allow the veneered wooden rack for displays. Functionality is key to the various design strategies, making every piece of furniture as efficient as possible for multiple uses.
