The Idea is simply to create a maximum space within its
limited site. By minimising the use of wall as a partition toward the
main area, so we can deliver maximum open space.
Mostly the vertical zoning activities in Indonesia urban
small house put the service area on the first floor, living room-dining room on
2nd floor and 3rd floor is for bedrooms.

But when I started the zoning diagram, in this site I
found that the first floor is actually the most comfortable level in which main
activities took place.In
terms of owner’s mobility access and potential view from
the front yard, the first floor has some advantages that we can’thave on the upper floors.So I decided
to switch the composition by placing the main area on the first floor and
service area on the 3rd floor/ roof floor.
When designing the section of living-dining area, I realized that this
site which has 10 metre width is possible to have a clean space without column
by hanging the bedroom level to the main beam on the roof floor that be spread
out along the site’s width.
Therefore I use
the steel structure to build the main structure of this house. The entire
main structure has been preliminary assembled on the workshop before it’s been
constructed on the site, to ensure all the steel joint detail were design and worked
perfectly. Large
dimension beams that been required gave me
a chance to optimize the height of the beams to place ventilation grillbetween
each of it. Those ventilations provide circulation for hot air to flow out with roof glass at the left and right side of the
building to bring natural lightfor the
house during the day.
The
second floor, where all bedrooms are placed has a multifunction space right beside the stairs that’s been used as corridor, library and entrance door
for bedrooms. The book cabinets also become partition for each bedrooms. At the opposite side,there is another
corridor as the connecting area for all bedrooms and multi purpose room that placed in linier
order. When all connecting doors at this corridor are opened, the rooms unite
into one big connected room. Frosted laminated
glass is applied for both corridors to provide larger range of light for living
area on the first floor.
I put reflecting pond under the stairs to
decrease the room temperature during the
day and create a peaceful ambiance by listening to the sound of water stream. An indoor
terrace with wooden floor at the right side not only being used as a playground
for the children but also can be an occasional indoor garage.
As a whole composition, ‘Satu House’ was designed as a smart and thoughtful
idea in terms of optimized the use of space for limited site.
