At the core of D House’s design philosophy, conceptualised by the visionary team at Wahana Architects, lies the seamless fusion of indoor and outdoor spaces. This approach is not merely aesthetic but serves a deeper purpose – nurturing family bonds and crafting shared experiences. This 500 square metre abode in Jakarta, constructed on a 300 square metre plot, caters to the nuances of a small family dynamic while abiding to a modern design language amidst harmony with nature.
The architectural journey of D House unfolds across three meticulously planned levels. The ground floor unveils an open-plan layout, a strategic choice that blends the living and dining spaces into one cohesive unit. This area extends effortlessly into the adjoining garden, blurring the lines between the built environment and the natural world, fostering an ongoing dialogue with nature.
Highlights of the interior, including the living and dining areas, showcase the subtle interplay of light and space, further accentuated by the thoughtful positioning of windows and beams. Ascending to the second floor, there is a thoughtfully designed family room, a guest bedroom, and a workspace. The standout feature here is the dramatic void cutting through the center of the structure, a bold architectural statement that connects this level with the living and dining areas below. This void is not just a physical space but a symbolic conduit, promoting unity and togetherness within the family.
The uppermost floor of D House is dedicated to tranquility and personal space. It houses the master bedroom and children’s rooms, each a sanctuary of privacy. This spatial arrangement ensures a balance between communal and private areas within the home, an essential aspect of family living.
