Location : Summarecon Bekasi

Floor Area : 90 m2

Ground Floor Area : 50,4 m2

Type : Two floors landed house renovation

This project starts from the typical developer home. Client asked for renovation to expand the space and add more rooms, as the existing space is limited and crowded for the family number. The living room is enlarged, placing the existing wall further outside and adding an inner courtyard. Kitchen multifunctions as dining area by adding extendable dining table for saving space. Guest bedroom and laundry area are added as requested.

Sliding glass door between the living room and inner courtyard is used in hope to eliminate the impression of cramped and limited space. Above the inner courtyard is directly exposed to skylight with intent so the indoor greeneries may grow while also penetrating natural light into the space.

To add more spacious effect, the end of the back wall which is the kitchen, uses glass as the backsplash to enhance transparency with intention to extend the space, and roster wall at the top to let the air circulation flow.

Textured wall at the inner courtyard area is proposed to add more variety to the space and sunlight coming in. Considering the safety of client’s children, texture starts 100 centimeters above smooth cement wall. The choice of color is white and light colored wood finishes to maximize natural light to reflect on the light surfaces, giving a bright and well-lit space.

With just enough room area, effective use of the corner is asked for. Furniture such as bed, the empty space below is given drawers for storage, such as side tables and cabinets. Laundry area is facilitated to support all activites; washing, drying, and ironing.

To enhance the experience of openness and connection towards the outside, more openings with transparent glass material and empty opening are created, utilizing natural resources such as air circulation and natural light penetration while also adding more greeneries at the rooftop area.
