Architecture firm Andramatin has designed a contemporary Indonesian home whose focal point is a striking overhanging concrete roof.
The home is a reinterpretation of the Dutch colonial manor and sits prominently on a sloping plot. The home is a narrow concrete block with two stories. The first level houses the main living spaces, and the upper level is the sleeping quarter. To create a sense of privacy, certain sides of the homes are closed off, and others feature bright windows - which creates a delicate balance between private and open.
The concrete roof stands as the prominent feature - it is divided into two blocks and provides the house with shade, and most importantly, acts as an eave during heavy rainfalls. To balance the heavy concrete exterior, warm-colored woods and light decorations furnish the interior.
