A Hub of Connection and Design
At the heart of the L’Avenue community in South Jakarta lies the L’Avenue Clubhouse, designed as a sleek, modern space where residents can unwind and socialize. Characterized by its striking curved facade made of Conwood, the clubhouse integrates seamlessly with the surrounding greenery, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The vertical slats that wrap around the structure not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also embody the community’s commitment to stylish, sustainable living.
Addressing Energy Efficiency Challenges
Despite its elegant design, the L’Avenue Clubhouse initially faced significant challenges due to excessive heat gain from its expansive glass facade. This design choice, while visually appealing and allowing for abundant natural light, created a greenhouse effect that raised indoor temperatures and necessitated heavy reliance on air conditioning. Consequently, energy costs soared, contradicting the community’s commitment to sustainability.
Sustainable Materials for Cost-Effective Solutions
To combat the challenge, the developer, in collaboration with the architectural team, introduced a second-skin system made from Conwood. This innovative solution improves energy efficiency by providing natural shade and ventilation, significantly enhancing the comfort of the space while maintaining its contemporary look.
The transition to Conwood not only addressed aesthetic and functional challenges but also proved to be a cost-effective solution. By replacing iron with Conwood, the project experienced notable reductions in material and installation expenses. Conwood’s durability and low-maintenance properties, including resistance to weather and rust, offer long-term savings by minimizing repair needs. This collaboration exemplifies how sustainable materials can fulfill design ambitions while promoting environmental consciousness and quality living within the L’Avenue community
