Article source: RAD+ar Bernaung means the act of sheltering, the very DNA that was imprinted within tropical belt inhabitant, long before we embraced the concept of a house. The name emphasizes of how easy it were to live in tropics, that reaching sustainability is nothing but to achieve comfort with the least energy required. Design was to rearrange all of user’s activity during the day, and cycle it into as a loop within a giant roof hovering above it. Atrium as the center of the houses acted both as visual direction and wind chimney to ensure cross and stacked effect for natural ventilation.  Image Courtesy © William Sutanto

Design is to frame surrounding greeneries from within and make the illusion of more spacious garden houses within the busy urban context of Tanggerang. Internal ceiling of the roof was clad with monochrome timber that acted as an open canvas for natural shadow play during the day, and to frame the lighting element within internal spaces as a façade for the night time. Building was rotated to achieved total north-south orientation in order to optimize natural light while minimize heat exposure entering the building, roof’s center point-which were subtracted for skylight and ventilation to released hot air- were also twisted, moving direct heat from north-west penetrating vertically to the atrium.

Filled with layers of diagonal walls and sandwiched within micro gardens, design was to optimized all rounded passive design – playing with different air opening and level of air pressure, and light play in different hour of the day- which are the strength of living in tropics to achieve comfort with the least energy as a hope for RAD+ar to promote more low energy residential prototype in South East Asia.
