At the intersection between history and nature, Grape Shelter 01 pin its position based on context’s demand toward farming needs, to retelling past narratives , and to repurposing an old building for a more sustainable and independent ecosystem, both culturally and economically. Located in a rural area of Blitar, this project aimed to convert an abandoned 18th century classroom building to an educational grape garden display area. This project is a part of an educational activation series initiated by a grape community known as Kung Anggur along with City’s oldest islamic boarding school named Pondok Pesantren Maftahul Uluum.
During the design process, our main focus relies on how to minimize our physical intervention to the existing buildings and how not to touch the existing building while we are placing our design in the existing building. Instead of considering the existing building as an object of intervention, we position the existing building as a working canvas for the new program that we will inject. Our challenge doesn’t only stop on the fact that we should be aware not to touch the existing building, but also the limitations of technology and understanding of local builders regarding the reactivation of old buildings for a new purpose or adaptive-reuse’s approaches.
dry-knock down-material was chosen as the main construction material in this building with the consideration that it will reduce the wet construction work during the construction phase and will be able to be constructed in a short period of time with fewer manpower. With this strategy, it is hoped that it can minimize the margin of error in the construction site considering that even small mistakes might damage the authenticity of the existing old building.
The main structure of this building uses ring-lock scaffolding which has its own simple installment logic that is very familiar among local builders. Its familiarity allows the builder to learn our design easier and execute all the structural construction faster within hours in less than 6 people. A 60x60 cm custom expanded metal panel is used as the flooring element to allow the grape gardener to take care of the grape trees more easily. The character of expanded metal also allows natural light and natural ventilation to go through to the grape’s soil while still being able to function as a rigid platform for multifunctional activities. An opaque polycarbonate was chosen to cover the top building and functioned as a perfect roof for keeping the grape trees away from the rain and providing sufficient sunlight while also reducing excessive heat.
Not only on structural and material aspects, the new configuration program also tries to respond to the existing building. It has 3 different sizes of rooms. We made the largest room as the main room, functioning as a grapefruit display and multifunctional area. The medium one converted into a storage room to store the grape seeds that is still able to be accessed by the public for educational purposes. The smallest one was restored and preserved so that anyone who visits can be able to experience an 18th century scale of living space.
With its simple intervention carried out in this project, it is hoped that the contrasting feeling between new and old materials can strengthen the presence of the old buildings while engaging in new activities. The lighting arrangement setted to be dimmed and warm to remove the spooky feeling that used to be attached to this area while at the same time dramatizing the poetic side of the old existing building’s aesthetic.
