Grey House / SUB. Studio for Visionary Design

1255724503-greyhouse-2

Architects: SUB. Studio for visionary design
Location: Jakarta, Indonesia
Project Directors: Wiyoga Nurdiansyah
Design team: Muhammad Sagitha, Dickie Padmawijaya, Sudibyo
Constructed Area: 70 sqm
Construction year: 2008
Photographs: Muhammad Sagitha

In our perspective, we see ourselves as a partner for client. And the moderate client for this house allows us to explore all about new material with modest budget of US$15,000. We explore the material to get effective budget and reduce unnecessary thing.

This occurs on a small site of 108 square meters horizontally. Defining space by creating privacy areas which defined by single slope roof direction. This roof form with single direction creating another space as an attic, higher ceiling on one side and exposed as a source of lights while the courtyard positions on the same side which useful for living, dining and master bathroom.

Horizontal space which divide by partitions to give a different functions of room. Master Bedroom – Living Room – Bedroom with 3 meter-modules to get effective structure. As a space-economizing strategy, we defined a zoning scheme by the circulation hierarchy. As such, the maid and pantry areas are next to the side entrance. This allows for a larger space for the living room and dining areas without interrupted by service zone which stand alone on building set back area built by non permanent material.

The house has a flexible space, whilst the living can combine with bedroom to get bigger space in a fingertips. And the movable windows allow the space to extend with the outdoor terrace. The furniture has a folding dining table to get flexibility of space and also a hidden stairs on master bedroom to access the attic.

Raw materials stand out as honest expression of the house. Grey brick with 200×200mm module replaced the local brick to get more precision results and effective way to get smooth finishes wall surface for interior sides and its reduce costs. Exterior fence become a medium for living walls, vegetation replace a chemical finishes. Recycled wood is use for window frames. Metal roofing was chosen to cut the cost, with single roof direction to avoiding metal joint which is costly.

At last, a boundary transformed a witty, affordable, potential and visionary design.

Mastomcustom X Toimoi - Love, Love Me Cub

Posted: October 11th, 2009 | Author: modsrider | Filed under: Features | Tags: , , , | No Comments »
toimoi-2
This event was held at toimoi ar+design at 7.30 pm, in Kemang, Jakarta. It’s no surprise that the title of this event reminds us of a Beatles song, because both Mastomcustom and the owner of toimoi are fans of the band. It seems Love Love Me Cub suits the event well. Visitors are welcomed to look around the shop, accompanied with accoustic Beatles songs by Revolver. Occasionally we have Mastomcustom coming up to play the guitar serenading the vocalist.

In this collaboration, Mastomcustom brings us 3 Motor bebek (Maxi-scooter) units from the years 1969, 1971, and 1975 that has been assembled and redesigned with the themes : Picnic, Touring, and Postman.

In one corner of the shop, stands a white and light blue motorcycle complete with a postman bag, a mailbox filled with overflowing letters, other mr. postman attributes, and finally a writing on the wall reading; Wait a minute, Mr.Postman.

Whereas toimoi has launced a line of products called ‘Moped Series’, consisting of bandanas, pillows, chairs, tables, carpets, and other variant products. The participating young designers include Afini Dwinastary, Raditya Ardianto Taepur, Pulung Jatmiko Arief, dan Rahmi Pertama, and toimoi’s own design team known as toimoists.
This event is also held to celebrate toimoi’s anniversary last September. The intimate and warm atmosphere is set  throughout the night in the nicely arranged room.Hopefully, events like this will keep on existing and of course, evolving creatively.

Emerged in 1960, the classic 8-eye boot by Dr. Martens will celebrate a milestone year as it turns 50 years old. Although they are not the original black leather, these newly invented “8-eye’s” are sure to become an icon of its own with seven lively colors: cru, yellow, red, purple, blue, green and black. And while the top may seem to be made of canvas, it is actually water-resistant leather giving the illusion of a canvas material. Among the modern additions or readjustments to the OG boots, are the flat white sneaker-like laces, white contrast stitching and white soles. These highly anticipated boots are part of the Spring/Summer 2010 collection, and they will surely be off the shelves in a very short time, so don’t blink twice and make sure to keep your “Soles Bouncing”.
