Grande House
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Grande House spans a 56-meter façade in Bandung, where scale meets precision engineering. The project required a careful balance between architectural ambition, functional performance, and urban context. Every material choice and structural decision was made with durability, efficiency, and long-term maintenance in mind, resulting in a residence that is both imposing and meticulously detailed.

The building employs a layered construction strategy to manage sunlight, airflow, and privacy. Perforated metal screens, sun louvers, and tactile stone walls are integrated within reinforced concrete and steel frameworks, creating controlled sightlines without sacrificing ventilation. Vegetation is thoughtfully positioned to complement these structural barriers, reducing heat gain while softening visual transitions. Large openings and internal courtyards maximize natural light and cross-ventilation, enhancing indoor comfort and reducing reliance on mechanical systems.
SECURITY AND RESILIENT PLANNING
Situated within a dense urban environment, the residence incorporates multi-layered security seamlessly into its design. Dual fencing combines reinforced barriers along property edges with visually permeable screens facing the street.
A multi-stage entrance integrates smart alarms directly into gate and wall assemblies, while detached room layouts provide direct outdoor egress in case of emergency. Building massing and material placement maintain both acoustic and visual privacy from neighboring structures, ensuring safety and serenity without compromising aesthetic experience.
SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS AND MATERIAL DURABILITY
Grande House incorporates passive environmental strategies alongside robust material selection. Reflecting pools and natural airflow through prevailing winds reduce the demand for mechanical air-conditioning. Water management integrates greywater reuse, rainwater harvesting, and optimized irrigation systems. Construction materials, including locally sourced travertine, natural stone, and treated timber, were chosen for structural stability, longevity, and minimal maintenance.
Roofs, overhangs, and exterior finishes are designed to withstand heavy rainfall and UV exposure while preserving visual elegance, demonstrating a harmonious union of performance, sustainability, and refined architecture.
