VA'astu Architecture Studio as Interior Architects

The project site is located in the satellite city of Jakarta. Precisely located in one of the residential area in West Bekasi, West Java. The typology of residential is divided by several housing land lots, usually designed in rows that each is separated by the street. The house has two entrances. The first entrance of the road inside the housing and the other entrance is located on the main road outside the housing. Due to the housing management prohibits any deformities facade of the building and is written in a memorandum of understanding with the client so that our clients focus on renovations to increase the functionality and space in home interior.


This project is a renovation project of an existing house on 8x20 meters land owner by a family of five. This house has two floors, the ground floor space is maximized for the public and semi-public, and the second floor is used for private functions. To the second floor there is a master bedroom and children's bedroom that is very personal so we can not expose in this article in accordance with the client's request.


On the ground floor, we are managing the family room and dining room in the same room in which the two function rooms separated by a console table. Because of the small size of the dining room, we apply the one side by a wall with a mirror so as to provide the illusion of size larger than the actual space. We give a big door sliding opening to chance to breathe a bit more by leaving a huge living room.


To park in the middle of the house, we replace the access door with large glass doors with sliding system. This aims to give the impression of fused between outer space and the space inside so impressive a wider space. In addition, the sliding glass door produces a smooth air circulation and healthy. To muffle the heat outside, the garden center is assigned a fish pond with water games so that the hot air from the outside entrance will be through an advance thus decreasing temperature. This makes the indoor air becomes cooler even without air conditioner.


The kitchen has a small area. To give the impression of vast, we apply the monochrome colors that contrasted with pale colors that give the impression toska unique. Distance to the cabinet top is not made too high to facilitate clients when opening and closing in accordance with the range of his height. We chose the kitchen work table using dark colored granite stone so that it always looks clean. The entire size of the area in order to the maximum so as to provide functionality and large storage. Material table using glass and steel bar so as to give the impression of light and looks not reduce the size of the kitchen.


Guest room and foyer is designed with a simple composition but comfortable arrangement. We combine the sofa and armchair with classic modern design with modern furniture to wooden coffee table and exposes fiinishing melamik with ethnic designs on the side table so as to provide a unique and harmonious ambience is far from boring.


Overall, the interior design of the house managed to represent the character of the owner through the material composition, the composition of the monochrome colors, and a blend of outer space and in giving the impression of semi-public and public spaces become larger than actual size
