Wood Box House
The house is situated on a typical 11 m x 25 m plot in middle- class
housing neighborhood, in Bogor. With high precipitation rate and mild
temperature (around 23 - 31 C), except during thunder storms and very hot
days, Bogor almost always offer pleasant outdoor environment. Therefore,
we think it is the challenge to design a space which can combine the best
of both indoor and outdoor spaces for common activities.
The brief is to provide a shelter and home for a young family with two
active children. Rather than to offer typical layout for the typical plot,
we first strictly classify programs into two boxes: (1)massive box for
well partitioned private areas and services (bedrooms, kitchen, maid
quarter, bathrooms, garage), (2) transparent box for open common areas
(living, dining, studio, circulation). The strategy is to collide the two
boxes together and form an intermediary space that articulate the
transparent box into well defined spaces (for activities).
The transparent box shelter activities like an open-air tropical verandah
as well as a double-height interior space. At the base of the transparent
box, we bound the space with a built-in concrete slab(furnished with
cast-in place terrazzo) that can perform as seating platform, table, or
staircase (or to put built- in cabinets/ drawers underneath). We can simply
use it anyway we feel like it; if we pull a table or a rug nearby the
concrete platform might perform differently. We also integrate the
concrete platform with koi pond and raised garden to add the feeling of
being slightly underground.
The transparent box is a steel construction clad with a layer of glass and
a layer of vertical local (bare) teak-planks - a quite common technique for
contemporary tropical buildings. On the contrary, the massive box is
entirely concrete construction and finely plastered and painted.
