home stay
Author: admin
Creating an oasis in the heart of Jakarta was the initial idea of this house. Combining the comfortable green, natural and tropical nuance of bali with the natural beauty and freshness of bandung, it was hoped that there were open space to be brought about and covered the house.
Having quite a long and turning site in the rear, such initial idea geared the creation of a building with specific corners that produced a dynamic movement of the owner, not to mention variety of vistas. Private areas in this house are within two blocks of parallel building that correspond to the front road. The block at the frontage accommodated service areas, reception room, quest bedroom and audio-video room where as block in the rear provides spaces for children bedrooms, main bedroom and bathrooms.
These blocks are separated by a long green garden with a fish pond and connected by a living room and dining room having high void.
These rooms are actually the heart of this house, being precisely at the junction of two axes and flanked by two gardens which controlled air circulation of the house. Up stair, there is a bridge to connect inside to the outside that may be approached through a stair having two different axes as well.

THE BRAGA CITY WALK at BANDUNG
Author: admin
Braga! There are many people question the need to revitalize braga. They presume that this are has long been a dead commercial area because there are no sufficient parking area areas and it is an uninteresting place for younger generations to visit. Braga, which gained its popularity as bandung’s prestigious shopping street in the period of the twenties to fourties, to these people is simply a romantic memory to remember while some efforts to revive has never been more than just proposals.
In the early 2004, pt bangun mitra mandiri, which is a company under the agung podomoro group, started a surprising movement. They planned, designed and executed a prestigious mix-used project right at one site in braga street. Without even mentioning the notion of ‘revitalization’ this project has changed the shape of such a legendary area.
Even though it is a mix-used project emphasizing on retails, the catalyst of this project is housing. The apartment and hotel in this project is projected to become the captive market that will bring back the strategic economic value of braga area.
That is indeed acrusial point within the braga city walk project. In one side there is a captive market with high consuming ability and large scale of retail to support the revitalization of braga, but on the other side there is a possibility that this area as well as the surroundings will be overloaded due to the potential business competition being created afterwards, being actualized by the building of similar projects in the near future.

LAMIN DAYAK COMMUNITIES
Author: admin
Dayak communities live in villages where all rivers are strated deep in the forest of Kalimantan. They are an agricultural people and divided into various communities having different mother languages. In the beginning they held animism betliefs and each community has different gods. The communities of dayak kenyah called it peselung luan and bungan malom whiles the dayak benua’ called it singkar olo and silu uwan. Early in the 18th century the eroupean missionaries came in and now most of dayak communities are Christian. Some of them are moslem and called themselves melayu,however, dayak communities’ traditions are still maintained up to date even though limited to the customary ceremonies only
Traditionally, dayak communities live in a long house or lamin balai and bentang to their mother languages. These houses are found from the eastern to western to western sides of Kalimantan up to the border of Malaysia and brunei Darussalam. Room organization inside the house is unique because it only provides one type of a room for each family. The building is also having a unique structure, being sat on top of wooden columns that stretch for more than 150 metres long. The columns reach more than 3 metres height, made of ulin trees known for its strength and durability that made it popular as the so-called iron wood and can be reused to construct new long house.
Methods of construction and raw materials are varied to each community, depending on social structure, length of stay and availability of materials. The community of dayak punan for example, used to move regularly: hence they apply leaves and ordinary trees only so that they are able to discharge their long house in one day.
