“ROOFTECTURE” is a three-story residential project located in Kelapa Gading. Built on a 459-square-meter site, this project prioritizes elements of local wisdom and greenery.
This local wisdom is reflected in the “Oversize Roof,” a roof with a wide and high span, similar to the roofs of traditional Indonesian buildings. The roof is designed to overhang to create shadows for the rooms below.
Furthermore, the greenery in this project is implemented through gardens created on certain levels, oriented towards “Public Pocket Gardens” on the east and west sides of the project. This is designed to create integration from the inside to the outside of the site, and vice versa.
The openings designed in this project also considers cross ventilation to create good airflow in the active spaces. This project features a “Movable Secondary Skin” that not only functions to block western sunlight but can also be opened and closed by sliding to allow air and sunlight to enter the room at certain times.
The use of Sustainable Green Materials in this project utilizes the “ADD Stone” finish, created from a carbon footprint, which creates the impression of a stone finish applied to the entire building’s exterior. This aims to create a natural environment through the use of natural colors and textures.
Derived from the words “ROOF” and “ARCHITECTURE,” “ROOFTECTURE” can be interpreted as ‘roof architecture’. In this project, the meaning of “Roof” itself is expanded to mean not only shade but also a sheltered space (space) within which various activities can take place. In the context of this project, this space serves as the owner’s private space, such as a hobby room, master bedroom, and work space.
