The Upper House / HYJA

The building is in Jakarta, sitting on an 800 square meter plot of land. The first and second-story buildings were used as a production area, warehouse, and office of the owner's workshop. Based on this layout plan, the upper house was designed according to the structure below that was already fixed according to the layout plan. We create a module column that transfers vertically into the divider wall of the upper house. The elevation of the building was made modest, wearing black slate skin stone and wood-like material as secondary skin to reduce heat from the west sun. A little opening was made to allow a view from the balcony of the office area.
