Prairie 15 is a private residence in Cibubur, West Java. The house was built for a family of middle-aged parents, two children in their 20s, and the grandmother. The 240 sqm trapezoid site, with the short side facing the street, presented a unique opportunity for the architects to have a playful take on the design through shadow, geometry, and texture.
The architecture, first and foremost, focuses on incorporating natural light and creating open, airy spaces. One of the standout features of the house is the curved window, which allows for ample sunlight to flood the interior.
The interplay of light and shadow adds depth and movement to the spaces throughout the day. White walls and light grey tiles dominate the interior, with a slight tinge of brown on the railing and stairs. There’s some art deco quality on the nooks and curves of the walls that make the space feels timeless.
The space programming is pretty straightforward. A spacious front terrace for receiving guests and an adjoined kitchen-dining and living room with a double-height ceiling make up the front area of the first floor. Every part of the house is either spatially or visually connected to this living room. Aside from better air circulation, the intention is also to allow more interaction among each family member.
The grandmother's bedroom is on the quietest, farthest corner, with a view of the garden shared with the living room. A praying corner connects the bedroom to the living room. The service area is on the opposite side, with direct access to the kitchen-dining room and the carport through an outer corridor.
Going up to the second floor, the master bedroom is situated right next to the staircase. It has a walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom, and balcony with a garden view. The siblings' bedrooms, with a shared bathroom in the middle, are across the corridor. On the far end, the corridor leads to a huge window overlooking the street and access to a balcony.
In contrast to the calm interior, the house looks whimsical on the outside. The assembly of pitched roofs combined with multiple trapezoid-shaped parapets and different-sized curved windows made an unconventional, fun composition. A variety of textures and colors from the concrete plastered wall, white brick tiles, asphalt roof, and woody tiles also contribute to the head-turning, one-of-a-kind facade.
