ByMyProperty Life

The Verdure House, designed by Studio Avana and located in Bandung, Indonesia, stands out for the harmony among various elements such as natural stone, concrete, and wood, adopting a variety of styles including industrial, traditional Japanese architecture, and modern tropical.

Its design takes a unique approach, creating two massive buildings. Since the residents belong to different generations, the mass separation concept of this house caters to their various needs. Despite being separated, the Verdure House was designed to enable a strong connection through various openings that serve as meeting points.

The Verdure House has three levels, two above ground and one underground. The basement is used for an entertainment area, and the two above-ground floors are utilized to support various private and public activities for its residents.

Several spacious and comfortable rooms have been designed to accommodate a variety of needs and activities, including entertaining a large group of relatives who frequently visit the house. Entertainment area, woodworking studio, garage, four bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, Japanese-style pantry, barbecue area, and a gym are among the facilities. All these rooms are connected by large openings.

Wooden elements can be seen on the exterior of the house, at the gate, main entrance, pergola, secondary cladding, and wooden deck. The wooden element in the secondary cladding serves a dual purpose as a direct barrier to sunlight that can be opened and closed based on the need for air circulation. Inside, wooden elements are installed to cover the walls, conveying a sense of warmth in spaces such as the living room, family room, and various bedrooms.

    This project was a true evolution of design. The owners originally approached DC+A about 10 years ago to design an informal home on their narrow cliff-side lot in the resort community of Lago Vista outside of Austin, TX. The couple worked with our firm remotely, trusting us to design their dream home. The original designs were for the narrow lot, but when a piece of land became available next door, the owners bought it and decided to re-envision their dream home to stretch across both pieces of property and leave more “breathing room” for the neighboring properties. The ultimate design is a 4,000 square foot limestone-clad home that frames views of the Colorado River from every room. The home uses some classic hill country and contemporary features that lend themselves well to the Central Texas lakeside setting, incorporated in a beautifully laid-back way. Featuring clerestory windows, floor to ceiling retractable glass doors and multi-purpose rooms, the home has an incredible quality and depth of natural light. The furnishings complement the architecture while remaining both casual and durable. Concrete floors add to the easy-going personality of the home, while redwood finishes outside and white oak inside reflect the riverside setting. The landscaping echoes the home’s relaxed nature with indigenous plants, while the Texas-sourced Antique Lueders Limestone finishing the exterior walls roots the home firmly in its setting.
