Architecture Design of Springhills House

Description About The Project

Springhills House designed by Pranala Associates is a prominent project that located in Java, Indonesia. The finished building took a shape of an almost symmetrical square block. Therefore, its form also gives a sense of firmness and stiffness compared to its dynamic curved and contoured site its placed.

On the other hand, the facade has two sides of the face with different materiality and color. The West side uses a grey pre-casted in situ concrete with a little hint of the brown color from ulin wood to cover its face. While the North side uses a simple white painted wall covered by secondary skin made from lined up ulin wood. Looking at the boundary fence of the house it’s not using a hard material, just a contoured garden that covered by nature’s softness in the form of alang-alang grass and small plants placed in a row.

Once insides, the main entrance may seem small at first. Another step in, one welcomed by a modest green garden in the corner of the house. As the garden void is placed, it contrasts the block of concrete and creates a continuous landscape view from the outside garden. It is also offering freedom of space and loss of vision from the main living and dining area, framing both sides of the garden. In addition to this, the light and air entered from both sides of the void, and natural light and cross ventilation happened, composing the main rules of a comfortable house.

Indeed, Springhill’s house is a combination of solutions, a rethinking of the pragmatism between site, climate, materiality, and form. After all, a house must be comforting for the people that live inside.
