Sitting on a housing cluster in one corner of Greater Jakarta, Compartment House showcases a unique example of how a residence is transformed into a mixed-use space. Designed and owned by Studio Sae’s principal, the house has seen multiple development and renovation since 2013 before the latest major revamp happened in 2017. Since then, there are at least three main functions carried by this house—living, working and interacting, as three connected compartments.

Rumah Gerbong is a house, office, as well as an interaction area that is designed with “krowakisme” approach. Ario Andito from Studio Sae as the architect as well as the homeowner invite us to see how the concept comes into being as the rooms within this house. Find out more about “krowakisme” and its application in Rumah Gerbong through this episode.
