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. The transparent area on the facade also aims to provide great visual access to the front garden of the house. In the carport area, the Architect wants to give an attractive visual impression by creating an irregular horizontal pavement pattern by giving a small space through which grass passes which strengthens the horizontal pattern and makes an interesting space experience when arriving at the house, and forms a visual pattern which is interesting when viewed from the top.
The ground floor zoning program is designed with an open plan in the communal area. The dining room in this house is placed at the front, which also functions as a guest and gathering room. Adjacent to the TV room so as to create a direct connection between the two rooms as a living room. In the back corner of the land, the Architect provides a little space as a dry garden filled with 1 tree that can grow tall to penetrate the void so as to create a green visual in the room and can be enjoyed both from the 1st floor and the 2nd floor. The dry garden gets natural light from so that the tree remains alive and well.
The concept of air circulation is applied by creating a cross ventilation from the front and back of the house. By utilizing the window openings in the entrance, 2nd floor balcony, as well as bedroom windows, connected by voids at the rear end area as air circulation paths from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor or vice versa. Meanwhile, the concept of natural lighting is also applied by creating large transparent areas in the facade area and several skylights that provide direct light to the 1st floor. The skylight positions include the stairs area, dry garden area, 2nd floor bathroom, and laundry area. The skylights in the staircase area are decorated with solid wood lattices so that they form a regular shadow pattern and move following the movement of the sun. The skylights in the back area are directed towards the dry garden on the 1st floor and the laundry area on the 2nd floor, while the skylights on the bathroom on the 2nd floor are flat-shaped which are located on the side of the natural stone field to create a natural space atmosphere.
