Architecture Design of House JT

Description About The Project

House JT designed by Tamara Wibowo Architects, located on a dead-end street in South Jakarta. In contrast with the intricate and busy roads of South Jakarta, the house meant to be a simple and quiet structure that has its own warm yet strong character through its materials and composition.

There are 2 boundaries of the house. First is the exterior metal gate combined with a rough dark stone wall that separates the street and the house. And second is the wall with a single door that separates the carport and the inner courtyard to ensure the privacy and security of the inner house. As one enters the door, one can directly see the inner courtyard with its 15 meter blue tiled pool.

On the other hand, the living areas arranged in an open plan on the first floor. A spacious kitchen complete with a kitchen island in the middle is located towards the front of the house closer to the service area. The living room located towards the back of the house and opens up to a small light court. Besides, the dining room located in between the two areas becoming the center of the house.

In addition to this, access to the outdoor garden to bring light and fresh air into the house is also incorporated into the bedroom corridor to create a comfortable experience in even the most 2mundane space. Also, a continuous balcony below the wood – lined roof also provided all around the whole second floor to create a protected outdoor space for each room. This balcony merges into a communal rooftop garden in front of the master bedroom, becoming a favorite space for the family to hang out in the evening.

The House JT Gallery:

Text by the Architects: House JT was designed for an American and Indonesian couple that has two daughters who spend part of their years in the United States. The house was designed to accommodate their favorite activities such as cooking in a spacious kitchen and entertaining friends around a large dining table while also enjoying the intimacy and privacy of their house. The house also serves as a blank canvas to display one of their daughter’s artistic productions and their personal collection of artworks.
