Located in one of the very few prestigious golfing estates in the city of Bogor, Indonesia, the Awrawikara sits on a timeless housing cluster surrounded by trees and lush greenery along the main road. Functioning as a weekend home, the residence was designed with an inward orientation of space to create optimal privacy for the homeowner. From its facade, the Awrawikara does not boast large grandeur entrances, rather, a unique pathway stretching across the front end of the house towards the sheltered entrance, which was purposefully designed to create a fulfilling experience for anyone entering the home. 

Built in a museum that was abandoned during construction, the pavilion was designed at the request of the developer who purchased it for the benefit of the community. Due to the circumstances, the project’s total budget was extremely low, $4000 only for design, installation, and maintenance for 6 months and the architect decided on aluminum rods and balloons to create a stimulating environment for children, which turned to become a national scale attraction to the small town.

An idea of having a house that is going to serve as a home to himself and his family, once retired, and home to an extended family of his newlywed son is what he has been dreaming of for the past decades. A site is located in the suburb of Thailand, Suphanburi Province. The deep and narrow plot is a drawback, yet has its own beauty itself. A spectacular divine landscape of rice fields and creeks at the rear end. A scenery that could not be taken for granted.

The ‘Monte Alentejano’ is a vernacular housing type found all over the Portuguese Alentejo. These ‘houses’ have a simple saddle pitch roof, an imposing chimney and generally sit as a long volume on the top of the hill (hence the name ‘monte’). The term ‘monte’ can also be used to refer not only to the main house of the farmer or the estate owner but also the outhouses and other functional buildings that were close to it.
