A Stunning Facade that Welcomes You In
The dream home of Titi Kamal and Christian Sugiono is brought to life on an expansive 1,000-square-meter plot in Jakarta, designed by acclaimed architect Riri Yakub of Atelier Riri. With its breathtaking facade crafted from Conwood, the home captures the elegance of wood in a modern tropical style, exuding warmth and luxury. Conwood’s natural wood-like texture brings out the beauty of the home’s exterior, creating a welcoming and harmonious blend with its lush surroundings. The combination of natural materials and an open layout enhances the home’s inviting atmosphere, allowing it to feel like an oasis in the midst of urban life.
Embracing Nature and Overcoming Design Challenges
Designing a tropical home in Indonesia’s climate required overcoming unique challenges. Ensuring durability against humidity, pests, and wear was essential for the couple’s vision of a low-maintenance yet luxurious space. Wide glass doors, a key design element throughout the home, allow ample natural light and fresh air while inviting the outdoor scenery into the indoor living spaces. Balancing this need for openness with materials that could endure Indonesia’s tropical climate was critical to achieving a cohesive and visually appealing indoor-outdoor experience.
Conwood: The Perfect Blend of Safety, Beauty, and Durability
Conwood’s versatility made it the ideal material to address these design challenges. Its nature-like wood appearance enhanced the facade and interior with warmth, while its cement and cellulose composition ensures durability against humidity, rot, and termites. Free from toxic materials, Conwood is a safe and eco-friendly choice for the family, aligning with their commitment to responsible building practices. Its low-maintenance nature allows the homeowners to focus on enjoying their sanctuary, while Conwood’s versatility seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a unified, luxurious tropical retreat.
