Architecture Design of Rumah RifBagus House

Description About The Project

Rumah RifBagus House designed by Gets Architects in the noisy East Jakarta street. Therefore, for noise reduction and privacy, a required setback designed as a buffer. From the street, this house appears modest in its mass combination, materiality, and color. However, beneath the surface lies a series of built spaces designed to be distinctive in their function yet rich in experiences, especially in the combination with the natural elements. In addition to this, the house split into two distinct volumes. A muted white horizontal upper rectangle mass with a modern colonnade facade. And the lower mass that’s more dominated by the implication of the brown waffle structure canopy.

Once insides, the space created as a fully functional main home with an atmosphere of a vacation home. A relaxing environment that meets all the residents’ daily lifestyles. The aesthetics of the interior and exterior spaces of this modern tropical house integrated by applying a similar color scheme to various materials, or by using the same materials in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Also, external materials were raw, non-reflective, and predominantly pre-finished which require little maintenance.

On the other hand, the monumental energy of the two – story masses contrasts with the reflection and soft sound from the water. A sophisticated rawness celebrated throughout on muted surfaces, which provided by the changing dance of light, shadow, and reflection. An exuberance of living radiates from the connection of those spaces, whether fully open or as discrete spaces. Indeed, offering a serene sanctuary, Rumah RifBagus inspired to naturally scope as a family abode.

Rumah RifBagus House, Elegant Home in Indonesia by Gets Architects

Most notably, the sunlight that comes through the foliage amidst a plethora of surrounding trees. However, the rigid rectangular forms throughout the house are softened via the inclusion of greenery, the illusion of indoor-outdoor, and the double-height ceilings.

While upstairs of the Rumah RifBagus House, minimalist adaptations that mix with the formidable brown waffle ceilings and light brown wooden texture in the furniture both add visual interest to the bare white walls in the sleeping quarters.

Text by the Architects: Rumah RifBagus is a fulfilled dream house for a young family done by converting two dilapidated houses into a light-filled family abode. Located vis-a-vis the local elementary school in the East Jakarta neighborhood, noise reduction becomes the main concern of this dwelling. To overcome that, the required setback designed as a buffer: using a tunnel-like hanging custom 3D calligraphy wall combined with a lush landscape in the entranceway. Its disposition then becomes prevalent throughout the whole entrance flow by not only creating texture but also serving as a meditative sequence for its inhabitants in a well-defined space.
