The Building

The Rumah Bangka is a townhouse project in the heart of an up market area in Jakarta consisting of 9 units. Desainrenanda was involved not only in the design of the buildings and site, but also in the branding of the project.

The design is marked by the architect's signature sharp angled roofs.

Each unit has 3 bedrooms with an additional bedroom on the first floor. The master bedroom spills over onto a mezzanine overlooking the front of the house. The unit is designed within an open plan arrangement to allow flexibility in the organization of its interiors The design is marked by the designer's signature strong angled roofs which are interpreted by him as modernized vernacular elements. The unit also has an indoor swimming pool which can be converted into a larger living room for several units.
