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.

  • Chilmark House

    Martha’s Vineyard is home to the single largest concentration of our residential work and some of our earliest projects, including the Polly Hill Arboretum. Chilmark House, like many of these commissions, is immersed in the landscape and continually reconnects its inhabitants with the surrounding woods, pools of sunlight and nearby Vineyard Sound. Entire walls and windows are designed to vanish and erase boundaries between indoors and outdoors. We were guided in the earliest phase of the project by the couple’s wish for distinct public and private spaces and the site’s topography. The central public space—the living and dining areas–plus a sitting room in the guest wing, are oriented toward a kind of natural sun-filled well on the house’s south side. Interior load-bearing elliptical columns allow sliding doors and windows to make large openings to the south in the exterior walls. Opposite, on the north side, sliding windows create large gaps in the exterior, connecting the living room and kitchen directly to the woods and waters of the sound. Bedrooms are on the wooded edges, on the east and west sides. A roof deck, terrace and side decks create outdoor living spaces. Shortly after completion of this project, the couple asked us to begin designing a guesthouse nearby as their family continued to grow.
