Architecture Design of ETC 2.0 House

Description About The Project

ETC 2.0 House designed by Rakta Studio, perched within the scenic landscape of Kota Baru Parahyangan, redefines modern tropical living. This semi-detached architectural marvel blends contemporary aesthetics with the natural beauty of Padalarang, West Java. The two-storey residence, complete with a mezzanine and semi-basement, harmonizes form, function, and sustainability, integrating indoor and outdoor spaces for a seamless living experience.

The design is characterized by stacked concrete forms, enhanced by the warmth of timber and the natural allure of stone, creating a striking visual interplay of materials. This juxtaposition adds a modern flair while grounding the house in its tropical setting. The use of concrete and steel not only ensures structural solidity but also offers flexible spatial organization. The thoughtful stacking of volumes allows for abundant natural light, ventilation, and intimate outdoor areas at various levels.

A notable feature is the steel bridge that elegantly links the two sections of the semi-detached home, spanning an inner courtyard garden. This bridge leads to a welcoming timber deck that blends effortlessly into the living spaces, blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors. The double-height children’s bedrooms, with their floor-to-ceiling windows, offer bright, open spaces that encourage creativity. The attic and lower levels in these rooms provide additional areas for rest, play, or study.

Below ground, the semi-basement floor offers a versatile space, including a fitness area, bicycle workshop, swimming pool, and semi-outdoor seating area, as well as a guest room. This level provides a private retreat, shielded from daily life, where residents can enjoy the tranquility of the lush surroundings. The house also features an infinity pool with a tempered glass edge, offering breathtaking views of the landscape, creating a serene oasis for relaxation.

ETC 2.0 House exemplifies the integration of modern design with tropical living, where innovation, sustainability, and luxury coexist in perfect harmony.
