Sujiva Residence

[English text below] Terletak di pusat kota Denpasar, area Renon dikenal sebagai jantung administratif Bali yang dipenuhi beragam aktivitas, mulai dari bisnis, pendidikan, hingga pariwisata. Di tengah hiruk-pikuk ini, Sujiva Residence hadir sebagai jawaban atas kebutuhan akomodasi jangka pendek bagi para pendatang yang beraktivitas di kawasan ini.

Berdiri di atas lahan seluas 300 m², Sujiva Residence dibagi menjadi tiga kavling, masing-masing berukuran 100 m² (lebar 4,5 m dan panjang 22 m). Bentuk lahan yang memanjang dengan orientasi utara-selatan menjadi tantangan tersendiri dalam mengalirkan cahaya dan udara. Hal ini diatasi dengan penataan tiga kamar tidur dan ruang-ruang penunjang secara strategis, memastikan pencahayaan dan sirkulasi udara tetap optimal meski di lahan terbatas.

Untuk memaksimalkan ruang, Sujiva Residence dirancang vertikal dengan dua lantai. Lantai dasar menjadi zona publik yang harmonis, mencakup foyer, ruang makan, ruang keluarga, dan dapur. Ruang keluarga memiliki langit-langit tinggi menciptakan kesan luas. Sementara itu, void di tengah bangunan membagi zona publik dan privat secara halus, mengarahkan akses menuju kamar utama dengan kamar mandi dalam. Penataan ini tidak hanya menghadirkan pencahayaan alami dan ventilasi silang yang baik, tetapi juga menjaga privasi serta kenyamanan.

Di lantai atas, kamar tidur kedua menghadap langsung ke ruang publik di bawah, dengan bukaan yang terhubung ke void tengah. Sebuah jalur akses melintasi ruang terbuka vertikal, mengarah ke kamar tidur ketiga yang dilengkapi kamar mandi bersama di bagian belakang.

Merespons iklim tropis Bali dan ritme dinamis Renon, Sujiva Residence menggunakan material yang mampu meredam panas, berpadu dengan estetika desain modern berpalet monokrom hitam dan abu-abu terang. Pemilihan ini memberikan kesan sejuk sekaligus menyatu dengan lingkungan sekitar.

Fasad Sujiva Residence dirancang dengan kesederhanaan yang memikat. Meski berupa bangunan dua lantai, ilusi visual menyerupai bangunan satu lantai tercipta melalui sistem atap miring yang dirancang cermat, menghasilkan tampilan sederhana yang tetap kontekstual. Dinding batas monumental setinggi enam meter semakin memperkuat kehadiran visual bangunan ini, menjadikan Sujiva Residence sebagai hunian yang mencolok namun tetap harmonis di tengah lanskap urban Renon.

Sujiva Residence

[English text provided by architects] Nestled in the vibrant heart of Denpasar, Renon buzzes with various activities, from businesses to education and tourism. As Bali’s administrative nucleus, it thrives as a dynamic epicenter. Against this backdrop, Sujiva Residence emerges as a response to the need for sophisticated short-term accommodations for those coming to Renon from other places.

Built on a 300 m2 area, Sujiva Residence is divided into three plots, each 100 m2 (4.5 m in width, 22 m in length). Oriented from north to south, its elongated layout presents a unique challenge in channeling light and airflow. This challenge is met by strategically arranging three bedrooms and supporting spaces, effectively combating potential dimness and lack of air circulation in elongated plots.

Maximizing the available space, the Sujiva Residence rises vertically and comprises two floors. The ground floor, designed to be a harmonious public zone, features a foyer, dining area, living room, and kitchen. The double-height ceiling in the living area enhances the sense of openness. At the same time, a central void artfully delineates the boundary between public and private zones, leading to the main bedroom and ensuite. This layout not only ensures abundant natural light and cross-ventilation but also guarantees privacy and comfort.

Ascending to the second floor, a bedroom overlooks the ground floor’s public space, with openings connecting to the central void. An access pathway crosses the vertical openness, leading to the third bedroom with a shared bathroom at the back.

In response to the Renon’s vibrant pace and the tropical climate, Sujiva Residence employs cooling materials and a sleek design aesthetic characterized by black and light gray monochromatic tones. This careful selection provides respite from the heat while blending harmoniously with the environment.

Designed with subtlety and humility, the Sujiva Residence presents a façade that is both unassuming and captivating. Despite being a two-story structure, its impressive frontal aspect, resembling a one-story construction, is achieved through a skillful roof tilt system, lending a visually simple and contextually harmonious appeal. The monumental boundary walls, each soaring up to six meters high, further enhance the visual appeal, making Sujiva Residence a striking presence in its dynamic urban context.
