Taro House

[English text below] Taro House berlokasi di Tangerang Selatan, Indonesia, di atas lahan seluas 259 m² dengan luas bangunan 225 m². Desain rumah ini berawal dari konsep menciptakan dua massa bangunan dengan orientasi berbeda, menyesuaikan posisi tanah yang berada di sudut jalan. Rumah ini memiliki dua sisi fasad: fasad utama menghadap barat, sementara fasad samping menghadap utara. Di bagian depan, terdapat area hijau dengan pepohonan yang menjadi bagian integral dari hunian.

Rumah ini memadukan arsitektur tropis dengan konsep Japandi. Bentuk geometris sederhana dan atap pelana dengan dua orientasi ketinggian berbeda menciptakan tampilan yang unik. Desain atap ini juga berfungsi merespons iklim tropis Indonesia. Dengan kemiringan 25-35 derajat, atap mampu mengalirkan air hujan dengan baik sekaligus mengurangi panas.

Ruang keluarga menjadi pusat aktivitas rumah. Berada di tengah taman dan dikelilingi dua sisi dinding kaca, ruang ini menyatu dengan lingkungan hijau sekitarnya. Sebagian besar ruang lain, kecuali kamar tamu, terletak di lantai dua. Sistem sirkulasi udara dirancang efisien dengan bukaan di hampir setiap sisi. Bukaan besar dan skylight memaksimalkan pencahayaan alami, sementara halaman depan, samping, dan belakang berfungsi sebagai area ventilasi silang sekaligus ruang hijau tambahan.

Fasad bangunan memadukan bata ekspos, semen ekspos, dan elemen kayu, memberikan kesan alami. Warna abu-abu, coklat, dan hitam berpadu dengan hijau vegetasi, menciptakan tampilan harmonis. Interior rumah didominasi warna putih dan coklat, melengkapi konsep interior Jepang. Furnitur yang fungsional, seperti meja TV yang terintegrasi dengan tangga, meningkatkan efisiensi ruang.

Taro House menjadi contoh hunian ideal untuk iklim tropis Indonesia. Desainnya tidak hanya merespons iklim dan lingkungan, tetapi juga mengutamakan fungsi ruang dan kenyamanan penghuninya. (uci)

Taro House

Taro House is located in South Tangerang, Indonesia, on a 259 m² plot with a building area of 225 m². The design concept originated from the idea of creating two building masses with different orientations, adapting to the corner-lot position. The house features two facades: the main facade faces west, while the side facade faces north. At the front, a green area with trees serves as an integral part of the home.

The house combines tropical architecture with the Japandi concept. Its simple geometric form and gable roof with two height orientations create a distinct look. This roof design also addresses the tropical Indonesian climate. With a slope of 25-35 degrees, the roof effectively channels rainwater and reduces heat.

The family room serves as the heart of the house. Positioned in the middle of the garden and surrounded by two glass walls, it seamlessly integrates with the surrounding greenery. Most other rooms, except the guest bedroom, are on the second floor. The airflow system is designed efficiently with openings on almost every side of the house. Large windows and skylights maximize natural lighting, while the front, side, and back yards act as cross-ventilation zones and additional green spaces.

The facade combines exposed brick, cement finishes, and wooden elements, giving the building a natural aesthetic. Gray, brown, and black tones blend with the greenery, creating a harmonious exterior. The interior is dominated by white and brown tones, complementing the Japanese interior concept. Functional furniture, such as a TV stand integrated into the staircase, enhances interior space efficiency.

Taro House exemplifies an ideal tropical home for Indonesia. Its design not only responds to the climate and surroundings but also prioritizes spatial function and the comfort of its occupants. (uci)
