Kampoong Guha lies between the urban village of Kampong Haji Brit to the north and a Mediterranean-style gated community in Meruya, Tangerang, to the south. The design introduces tropical vegetation to shade a pathway connecting the gated street and the kampong alley, while preserving existing flamboyant and trembesi trees. A children’s library housed in an arched pavilion at the front is accessible to the surrounding community, positioning Guha as a healing space that bridges the gap between contrasting spatial realms.

Inside, the OMAH Library foundation operates within the residence, producing books that support architectural discourse. A public library with thousands of collections is open daily for learning, working, and relaxing, complemented by a bookstore, transformable discussion halls, and gardens. Coworking spaces are distributed throughout the compound, each with a distinctive character. It also hosts service quarters and spaces for exercise, art, and prayer.

With its uncommon program, the architecture unfolds as a layered, kampong-like sequence. The spatial layout forms a flexible horizontal and vertical labyrinth shaped by gradual development on limited land. With a maximum span of four meters per room and more than 200 doors, spaces can be opened or closed as needed. The architecture combines adaptive reuse of existing structures with low-tech materials—wood, bamboo, lightweight galvanized steel, and recycled tiles—alongside industrial materials such as concrete, glass, gypsum, and steel, in response to limited resources. Passive cooling strategies, deep terraces, and shading devices help reduce heat gain in Jakarta’s climate. The configuration reflects more than a decade of continuous growth and daily iterations.

Ultimately, Kampoong Guha serves as a bridging model that combines living, learning, and working in one place, offering architectural responses to Jakarta’s dense urban conditions through compact planning and adaptation to microclimate challenges.
