 Image Courtesy © Fernando Gomulya Sited on a corner lot of 550 m2, the owner chose to establish his dream house on the site in the interest of having a healthy home, a home with abundance of natural lights and a well-circulated fresh air. The architect designed the zoning plan and layout for this residence in a clear and concise manner. Public areas such as living and dining area placed on the ground floor, while the more private area such as bedrooms are set on the first floor. The two-story service area placed on the inside corner of the lot.

By establishing that, an inner court space that allows optimal natural lights and fresh air flows inside then formed. This inner court space presents potential views from the living and dining area, while also serves as an outdoor playground for the children.

Yet, the architect manages to bring it a step further with details that mark as accents and enrich the design character.

This façade-long window gives the resident to enjoy panoramic view of the surroundings from their bedrooms.

A wide canopy made of thin steel plate covering this opening strengthens the detail’s design.

Looking at it on a glance, one wouldn’t easily notice that the 3-dimensional geometric pattern was made of series of aerated concretes composed together in such a way.
