Presented by Anissa Santoso and Karina Wiriadidjaja, at ARCHINESIA “10X10=INFINITY” in Ciputra Artpreneur, Tuesday, October 1, 2024.

[English text below] BI Residence, karya Studio Talk, terletak di lingkungan perumahan di Palembang, Sumatera Selatan. Mengusung konsep “everyday home holiday”, BI Residence ingin menciptakan atmosfer relaksasi di tengah kesibukan klien, yang berlatar belakang sebagai pebisnis dan dokter.

Bangunan seluas 500 meter persegi berdiri di atas lahan seluas 400 meter persegi. Desain rumah ini mengoptimalkan lahan berbentuk trapesium. Studio Talk menghadirkan bukaan besar di area barat yang menghadap ke hutan untuk mendapatkan pemandangan yang menenangkan. BI Residence yang terdiri dari dua lantai ini dibagi menjadi zona publik di lantai pertama dan zona privat di lantai kedua. Ruang keluarga, ruang makan, dan dapur di lantai 1 dirancang dalam satu aksis, memaksimalkan fleksibilitas ruang untuk acara keluarga yang sering diadakan.

Salah satu elemen menarik dari BI Residence adalah home-office berkonsep loft yang terhubung langsung dengan master bedroom. Hal ini menyesuaikan kebutuhan klien untuk bekerja dari rumah selama pandemi. Selain itu, area servis ditempatkan di sisi kanan site, memungkinkan akses langsung tanpa mengganggu privasi area utama.

Selain rancangan arsitektur, Studio Talk juga menangani desain interior hunian ini yang mengusung konsep simple modern dengan dominasi material walnut pada built-in furniture. Vertical garden yang ditempatkan di sebelah dapur memastikan pencahayaan alami dan sirkulasi udara tetap optimal. Keseluruhan desain rumah ini tidak hanya berhasil terwujud secara fungsional, tetapi juga memberikan ruang bagi keluarga untuk menikmati momen keseharian yang terasa seperti liburan.

Menghadapi tantangan komunikasi selama pandemi, proyek ini tetap berjalan berkat kerja sama yang solid antara tim desain dan klien. Bagi Studio Talk, kesuksesan proyek ini tidak hanya terletak pada desain atau konstruksi, tetapi pada bagaimana ruang yang mereka ciptakan mampu memperkaya kehidupan keluarga yang menempatinya.

BI Residence: Bringing “Everyday Home Holiday” to Palembang

BI Residence, designed by Studio Talk, is situated in a residential neighborhood in Palembang, South Sumatra. Adopting the concept of an “everyday home holiday,” BI Residence aims to create a relaxing atmosphere amidst the busy lives of its clients, who are both businesspeople and a doctor.

The 500-square-meter building stands on a 400-square-meter trapezoidal plot. The design optimizes the land’s shape with large openings on the west side, offering calming views of the surrounding forest. This two-story residence is divided into public spaces on the first floor and private areas on the second floor. The family room, dining area, and kitchen on the first floor are arranged on a single axis, maximizing spatial flexibility for frequent family gatherings.

One of the distinctive features of BI Residence is the loft-style home office that connects directly to the master bedroom, catering to the clients’ need to work from home during the pandemic. Additionally, the service area is placed on the right side of the site, allowing direct access without intruding on the main private spaces.

Beyond the architectural design, Studio Talk also handled the interior design, featuring a simple modern concept with walnut-dominated built-in furniture. A vertical garden next to the kitchen ensures natural lighting and optimal air circulation. The overall design of this house not only functions well but also provides a space for the family to enjoy everyday moments that feel like a holiday.

Despite communication challenges during the pandemic, the project continued successfully due to strong collaboration between the design team and the clients. For Studio Talk, the success of this project lies not only in the design or construction but in how the spaces they created enrich the lives of the family that inhabits them. (uci)
