The Residence that located in Sunter area take a concept of resort that combined with modern geometric shapes but still regarding aspects of the locality. ![]() © Fernando Gomulya With a limited size of the site, the Architect tried to bring a Courtyard concept into the house as a central mass of the building, so the courtyard become a source of light and natural air circulation. Every room in this house have an orientation to the courtyard, so the house become more healthy and energy saving. Furthermore the concept resort is also felt in the foyer area where we've been "entered" into the house, but still seem to be outdoors because of the courtyard / open space that creating the impression of there is no boundary between outer space and the inside space. The Architects also applied a sloping roof in this house and used a local material likes exposed karawang stone that intended to bring a locality of Indonesia in this house. ![]() © Fernando Gomulya The Religious side of home owner also inspired the Architects to translate that essence into the design in more modern context. The shape of triangle that resemble of a Chapel combined with box shape create a contemporary looks that makes this residence unique among its surrounding. Another interesting design is how to process the facade of the building by combining massive and transparent form that obtain from arrangement of the hollow steel to give a modern looks. ![]() Section The Facade of the building is dominated by the white color to give a simple and clean looks also to create a spacious effect. The used of white color also because it produces a soothing atmosphere not only to the owner but also the surrounding. ![]() © Fernando Gomulya ![]() Ground Floor Plan ![]() © Fernando Gomulya Just like the exterior, the interior of the residence also features an abstract white color is combined with a touch of natural colors likes brown wood color and terracotta to create a resort looks alike but displayed in more contemporary ambiance. The interior is designed to be simple with the used of built-in furniture to give the impression of compact and integrated with the building. This can be seen on the floor of the reading room where the owners desire to have a reading room accommodated in the form of a built bookcase and attic area which also used as a reading lounge. ![]() © Fernando Gomulya Interior and landscape area designed connected with the architectural design concept that brings contemporary tropical shades.

![]() © Jared Fowler Our clients purchased a late 1970's modernist brick beach house in Noosa, Australia for a subtropical retreat from the cool Victorian climate. The house was located on a wonderful site that backed onto the Noosa National Park and surfing beaches. The existing dark brown brick residence, although well constructed at the time, had visually dated quite badly and did not take best advantage of the amazing site that backed onto a subtropical rainforest. The owners brief was to modernise the house while retaining as much of the existing building structure as possible. ![]() © Jared Fowler One of the challenges with the existing house is that it did not take full advantage of the fantastic location backing onto the national park. The rear of the house was largely a solid brick wall looking onto this beautiful view. We proposed carving out a series of new openings in the rear wall so that bedrooms and bathrooms would look out onto this very private serene landscape. Originally, the house was quite dark internally so we pushed a series of timber lined light wells up through the roof. This allowed natural light to flow in from a high level, as well from the new openings in the brick walls. ![]() © Jared Fowler ![]() Upper Level Plan ![]() © Jared Fowler The other significant challenge to modernise the existing house was how to transform the front street elevation. The original house had an unflattering rough dark brown brick facade with two equally brown garage doors. A separate consideration was that the street elevation faced east and hot morning sun would blast in through the kitchen and dining windows in summer. Our approach was to render the brick in a natural cement finish and design a beautiful timber screen that sat in front of the original facade. This light weight hardwood structure resulted in a refined modern elevation to the street, while also providing sun protection and privacy for the internal spaces.One of the most unique and delightful design elements of the new house is the semi outdoor bathrooms that look out onto the national park. The original house had an aged light brown plastic shower unit that sat on the back deck, where you could shower outside looking into the forest. The owners loved this feature, so we designed the new bathrooms as hardwood boxes with copper fittings that are largely open onto the private subtropical rainforest. ![]() © Jared Fowler Product Description. Our clients purchased a late 1970's modernist brick beach house in Noosa, Australia for a subtropical retreat from the cool Victorian climate.
