Information

The Upstairs House

This tropical modern abode stands on a 560 sqm corner plot in a townhouse complex in South Jakarta. The client hoped for a house that has a strong interaction with the surrounding natural environment and natural landscapes despite the plot's lack of interesting views. They wanted to create home in which their family and close friends would come and gather on weekends.

While many regularly houses place the private areas on a higher level, we took a different approach by consciously putting the private areas such as bedroom areas on the lower level so the owners could easily access to their bedrooms after a long tiring day.
