Houma Hidden Jazz-Space is an adaptive reuse project nestled within the dense, dynamic neighbourhood of Gunawarman, Jakarta — an area known for its vibrant youth culture, creative undercurrents, and eclectic energy. Conceived as a subtle intervention rather than a dominant presence, Houma exists almost invisibly from the street, intentionally hidden behind layers of the city’s noise and distraction.
It embraces the idea of "what it is" — raw, unfiltered, and honest. The design process celebrates imperfection, choosing to expose rather than conceal, to reuse rather than replace. Every material tells a story: reclaimed wood from deconstructed buildings becomes shelving and flooring and discarded tiles form mosaics that subtly trace the passage of time. This commitment to reuse isn’t merely an aesthetic choice, but a narrative device — allowing the architecture to speak through fragments of memory and presence.
During daylight hours, Houma functions as a living gallery: a fluid marketplace where preloved personal objects from the community are displayed, exchanged, and revalued. It is not a showroom, but a breathing platform that encourages participation and storytelling — a curated mess where traces of people’s lives overlap. The furniture is not static; it moves, changes, and finds new homes, forming an ever-evolving layer of social and material interaction. As dusk falls, the space subtly transforms. Without needing structural change or elaborate theatrics, Houma sheds its market skin and reveals its other soul — a hidden jazz bar. Intimate lighting, the warmth of aged surfaces, and the muffled clinking of glasses set the stage for evenings filled with rhythm and resonance. Jazz, with its improvisational spirit and raw emotion, mirrors the ethos of Houma: fluid, unapologetic, and alive.
Here, music is not a backdrop but the pulse of the room. It draws in a diverse community — from seasoned jazz lovers to curious wanderers — all seeking connection in an increasingly fragmented city. Houma doesn’t impose; it invites. It doesn’t announce; it whispers. The project stands as a quiet rebellion against the hyper-curated, overly polished spaces that dominate urban culture. Instead, it champions authenticity, reuse, and the power of collective memory. In doing so, Houma Hidden Jazz Bar becomes more than a space — it becomes a rhythm, a story, and a hidden heartbeat within the city.
