Weekend Villa with Contemporary Interior in Bandung

ByMyProperty Life

Situated on the hillside of Bandung, Indonesia, EH House was carefully designed to serve as a weekend retreat for a small family. The residence impresses with an abundance of communal spaces connected to a spacious peripheral balcony. Its design embraces the terrain in a scattered manner, with different independent spaces delicately positioned among clearings surrounded by a grove of majestic pine trees. Set away from the access road, the house opens up to the green landscape through its continuous glass facades, offering panoramic views of the garden and the mountains that stretch into the horizon.

In response to Bandung’s chilly climate, the architects opted for an approach that combines a cozy interior with a subtle reference to the characteristic vernacular architecture of the region. Wood, steel, and glass were skillfully used both indoors and outdoors, creating a modern retreat in the heart of the forest. Equipped with cutting-edge heating and cooling technologies, the interior atmosphere of the house was skillfully designed to accentuate the sense of warmth and comfort, providing a welcoming environment for family gatherings and relaxation.

The different levels of the residence directly reflect the degree of privacy of the spaces throughout the project. The ground floor houses the service area and the bedrooms, each benefiting from unobstructed views facing south. Upstairs, a spacious semi-open balcony stands out, accompanied by a living room, a dining room, and a cozy mezzanine reading space. These communal spaces are separated by a fireplace and sliding glass doors, which, when opened, unify the spaces and connect the interior area with the balcony.

The imposing mansard, dominating part of the main facade of the building, is the result of modern construction techniques while paying homage to the local context in which it is situated. Its generous opening not only vertically amplifies the facade but also provides ideal conditions for natural lighting and ventilation, contributing to the welcoming and airy atmosphere of the residence.

  • Kūono at Volcano

    Kūono is a modern cabin located on the Big Island of Hawaii near Volcanoes National Park. Its exterior was inspired by the modern sea cabins of Norway, and was designed to appear as a modern shape glowing in contrast to the dense Ohia forest. The exterior features of the property fade seamlessly into the boundaries of the site, with a crushed basalt driveway, native landscaping and outdoor sitting areas that were leveled with rocks dislodged during foundation preparation. Water to the property is supplied by a catchment tank and pump house, screened from view by horizontal cedar lattice. Kūono’s design allows for the experience of minimal restriction between indoor and outdoor. Its living spaces include both an open concept interior floor plan as well as an expansive lanai that features a central fire pit, lounge chairs and cedar ofuro soaking tub. From inside the cabin, a full height window wall and sliding glass doors give guests a complete vertical panorama of soil to blue sky through the Ohia canopies above. The floor plan efficiently accommodates four, with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and a vaulted sleeping/living space. In addition this home was under construction during the 2018 eruption that lasted 4 months. Although it was 20 miles away from the flowing lava that decimated over 700 homes, it was 4 miles away for the Halemaumau Crater which at one point experienced a 30 day stretch with daily 5.0 or greater earthquakes including one with a magnitude of 6.9. Minimal, modern, yet comfortable, Kūono is meant to be a place of respite, where guests are immersed in the beauty of Volcano’s natural landscape with the comforts of a luxury guest home still at hand.
