YD House / Isso Architects

This one-floor house occupies a long, narrow site in a residential neighborhood in southern Jakarta. Though it’s looking rather solid and unusual from the façade, the experience felt when entering the house is intended to be a very down-to-earth journey. The wooden lattice ceiling allows plenty of sunlight into the main entrance, and through it, there will be a foyer and an inner courtyard waiting. The foyer acts as a transitional space, connecting the outside world with the living spaces within.

The Jenson-DeLeeuw Net-Zero Energy House is a 2,000-square-foot home located on a bucolic two-acre site in Harvard, Massachusetts. This comfortable home is fully powered by the sun with energy to spare for the owners’ electric car; kudos to a photovoltaic solar energy system by LG and two Sonnen batteries that manage energy intermittency. This house is integrated into its natural setting and carefully located on the site’s highest elevation to capture as much sun as possible. Passive design principles keep the house temperate year-round: deep overhangs shield interiors from overexposure and overheating, while open floor plans and high ceilings allow natural ventilation and airflow throughout. The house is owned by two J.R.R. Tolkien fans who named their new home “Rivendell” after the Elvan village in Tolkien’s Middle Earth.

Shared living resources have become a common practice in recent decades in the social group from the age of 18 onwards. This sector of the population, basically students and travelers, finds in this form of shared domesticity an alternative to family life. A space and a time where collective action is developed, which favors both economy and sociability, compatible with the desire of people to become independent. And all in the same building.
