Bernaung House in tropical belt location, reach sustainability by RAD+AR

Architecture Design of Bernaung House

Description About The Project

Bernaung House designed by RAD+AR is an impressive project with unique shape. The design was to rearrange all the user’s activity during the day and cycle it into as a loop within a giant roof hovering above it. Besides, atrium as the center of the houses acted both as a visual direction and wind chimney to ensure a cross and stacked effect for natural ventilation. Also, the nature appears in every corner of the house, in living room, dining room, kitchen.

On the other hand, stretched diagonally across the site, the design intended to visually connect the garden elongated on all sides and to be able to see skies in both endings of the building. Indeed, the design is to frame surrounding greeneries from within. And make the illusion of more spacious garden houses within the busy urban context of Tanggerang.

Moreover, the house rotated to achieve total North-South orientation to optimize natural light. While minimizing heat exposure enter the building, roof’s center point – which subtracted for skylight and ventilation to release hot air- was also twisted, moving direct heat from North – West penetrating vertically to the atrium.

Text by the Architects: Bernaung means the act of sheltering, the very DNA that was imprinted within tropical belt inhabitants, long before we embraced the concept of a Bernaung House. The name emphasizes how easy it was to live in the tropics, and that reaching sustainability is nothing but achieving comfort with the least energy required.
