The courtyard in the middle of the building is one of the special areas in RUANG TEKUNI.

The natural sound from this area, such as the sound of flowing water, leaves, and the blowing of cold air can be enjoyed by apartment users through small windows designed facing the courtyard. Also over apartment terrace which is designed jutting the courtyard.

Not only that, but the natural elements also presented on using wood materials in buildings and furniture inside.
