JAKARTA, INDONESIA HOUSE

The house is situated in front of the northern coast of Jakarta, Indonesia. The city of Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia located in Southeast Asia. Jakarta lies on a low and flat basin ranged from 7 to 26 feet above sea level. Because it is located very close to the equator, Jakarta’s weather will never drop below 70 º F causing the climate to be very hot and humid year round. The culture in Jakarta is very diverse because of the immigrants ranging from Dutch, Portuguese, Sudanese, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic. The people of Jakarta have several performing arts centers because it is part of their culture to practice performing arts and they love it.

The client is a retired single male in his late 40’s living in Indonesia. He loves nature, art, traveling, and swimming. It is a vacation home for him since the client likes to travel and explore the world. The client wants a house similar to his house in Southern California. The house I am designing for the client consists of 3 levels. The ground level has a swimming pool on its exterior in the front of the house where the client has a clear view of the Jakarta gulf. The first floor has a comfortable living room, spacious kitchen, and a relaxing bathroom. There are stairs with glass and metal railing located in the middle of the first floor that spirals up onto the second floor. The second floor has a grassy balcony where he can see a great view of the city of Indonesia from afar. The balcony has a garden like scene to it, the grass is perfectly cut, shrubs planted along the railing, and palm trees are planted on each corner. The interior of the second floor are the master bedroom along with a guest bedroom and a roomy bathroom. There is a library where the client can do his artwork. The roof has a huge solar panel that absorbs sunlight all day to provide electricity during nighttime. The second floor also overlaps the first floor halfway to cover half the pool, so the client can have shade when needed.
