Katamaran house were designed for a settled families in the northern residential area of Jakarta. The need for large comunal space that can view a garden and a swimming pool inside the house become a major point in designing the house. All the space are form to respond the central point of the house, which is a swimming pool and a shallow pool to provide a cooler temperature that breeze into the house.

Twisting out something from the usual line is taken in order to create different perception or to enrich some more quality. This happens to a house that we name it as The Distort House. It is located in the south of Jakarta which is still dominated by lush, tropical village forest in the neighborhood. In the front of the site itself lays a public park with some old big tropical trees.
Located at a typical urban housing complex, which predominantly consists of semi detached housing, this project tries to elaborate the indoor and outdoor relationship.
The site is 600 square meter land area located in a an area that is medium dense, semi detached, without any physical and building typology from one and another. The client came to TWS Parters with a particular vision of garden house, which can maximize in correlation to outdoor space fromwithin. From client’s brief of room program, the house was to have a huge area of 800 square meter, with the entire space to be located within the limited site.
