Description

Imamami House is a modern tropical residence located in south Tangerang, Indonesia. Built on an area of 96m² with dimensions of 12m x 6m and its building area is 137m² with a space program consisting of 3 bedrooms, living & dining room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 1 powder room, and other supporting facilities including garden, balcony, laundry area, storage and also a carport that can accommodate 1 car and 2 motorbikes. This house is a renovation project that has changed the facade as a whole, and changes some of the layout of the existing building. On the 1st floor the existing layout / wall is maintained as much as possible so as to minimize the demolition on a large scale. While on the 2nd floor, there is a layout change that is adapted to the needs of the new space and changes in the shape of the roof due to maintenance considerations and better building resilience. Several materials from the existing building were also reused, namely big coral stone which was previously used as a canopy element in the carport which is now used as a wall element in the bathroom, and the existing clay tile which was reused despite changes in the shape of the roof. The Architect created a simple, modern and tropical concept, where the facade is highlighted by a massive and dominant geometric shape of white squares with dots as an architectural decorative element. Combined with a fully transparent area so as to create a visual contrast between the left and right sides of the facade. The appearance of the new building is quite contrasting with the surrounding houses but still maintains and utilizes some materials from the existing building that can be reused as building elements that create visuals that are in harmony with the surrounding environment. The main combination of colours and materials used in this house is white colour, the concrete material, wood elements, and clay tiles which further strengthen the feel of a tropical house.
