The key takeaways are that Tanah Teduh aims to emphasize Indonesian contemporary architecture through a pilot residential project that focuses on aesthetics and function while preserving the natural environment. It was established by prominent architect Andra Matin to find a balanced living solution through nine architects' distinct styles that combine modern principles with local materials and nature.

The architectural vision behind Tanah Teduh was to further engage residents with Indonesian contemporary architecture by having nine prominent architects design distinct buildings that combine modern principles with aesthetics of local materials like concrete, wood, water, and nature to promote a sense of place.

The architecture of Tanah Teduh adapts dynamically to the contours of the land by preserving existing tree plots, ponds, and vegetation. It aims to use energy minimally while maintaining a balance with the environment through efforts like wastewater management and rainwater catchment.

Prologue

Tanah Teduh is a residential project aiming to emphasize


Indonesian contemporary architecture. As a pilot project,
the project exists to answer the needs of the developer,
architects and end users by focusing widely on its aesthetics
and function equally. Headed by prominent Indonesian
architect, Andra Matin as principle architect, Tanah Teduh
was established to find a riveting solution to everyday living
by gathering nine like-minded architects to visually design
a building that is defined by its pre-existing environment.
It further encourages an amiable living experience on
the grounds of an honest and unobtrusive living space
enveloped by a healthy distribution of sunlight,
open ventilation and existing tree plots.

Tanah Teduhs reactive architecture adapts dynamically to the contours of its


land, one may in fact find the existence of a tree plot inside the living space as the
result of keeping the natural element intact and unchanged. Its basic efforts in
keeping the environment together are apparent through the preservation of the
lake that is used well to manage wastewater and become a dam for rain water.
In its essence, the project idealizes an environment where energy is used to its
minimum, and further promotes a balance of living efficiently.

I hope Tanah Teduh will be a source of inspiration and a project that Indonesia
could be proud of as explained by developer, Ronald Akili. Tanah Teduh honors
the work of nine admirable Indonesian architects, with their distinct architectural
styles that combines the enrooted principle of modern architecture to support the
aesthetics of concrete, wood, water, light, space and nature, promoting a sense
of place and meaning to its resident. Its stark architecture among the lush green
vegetation further reflects the architects vision to further engage the residents
with the sensibilities of Indonesian contemporary architecture.

Tanah teduh and I...

The mission behind this project is partly educational, as Tanah Teduh is It has been a pleasant task to work on the 2 hectares land,
an invitation to revert back to Indonesias architecture at its best, calling out
everyone to experience a proper way of living in a space designed by outstanding with lush and luxuriant trees growing in the eastern part of

an exemplar for future developments in Indonesia.

The first thing I decided when I began working here was to keep as many original
trees as possible, and to make an optimal use of the land contour. I also use
the existing ponds on the west as the wastewater processing facility and water
Sincerely Yours, catchment area. The existing bodies of water also serve as aesthetic elements in
the complex.

I then proposed for the government of the special capital territory of Jakarta to
simplify their street plan to enable us to keep the land with the existing trees
intact. Some of the houses in the complex share a communal parking lot to
Ronald Akili maximize the verdure.
Developer
The site has two main views; one of them having the lake as the focal point, and
another the existing trees, forming a kind of inner garden.

I have been fortunate as the sites owner let me choose the architects to work on
the project. I thus selected competent architects who would be able to collaborate
well in the project.

I hope the project can serve as a model for future developments that consider the
nature and uses the surrounding nature as an integrated part in the design.

Warm Regards,

The site is 475 sqm big, with existing fruit trees that
are still productive. A rambutan tree stands in the
middle of the site, so the building would be divided
into two to give space to the tree. This results in two
building masses.

When I first visited the site in Jati Padang, one of


the strongest impressions I had about the site was
the strong charisma exuded by the trees, with their
large number, variations, and ages, as well as the
presence of ponds. Trees and water are vital and ideal
elements to have in a residential area or living space.
The initial idea to develop the site without felling any
single tree has truly been a wise decision and reflects
the humility to prioritize the nature. I was given the
chance to submit a home design for the corner site
on which several rambutan trees are standing. The
trees will grow larger and bear fruits in the future,
and we must thus respect their existence. The use of old wooden window frames should be
considered to establish an even richer sense of time.

Lake Houses

Located in a series by the lake, units 14 to 18 are designed by


Andra Matin Studio. Each house has a different orientation
so that every unit will have different atmosphere and view.

The dining room is located next to the pantry on the ground floor, with an inner
court that connects the reading room and the children bedrooms. To prevent a
towering appearance due to the vertically-intense room arrangements, parts of
the ground floor are surrounded by the landscape, half-burying the rooms to
almost one-story deep. The living room is located on the first floor and enjoys the
largest view compared to other rooms, with a terrace that might also be treated
as an extension to the living room, thus creating an even larger space. The master
bedroom and bathroom are also located on the first floor, designed to be half-
open with a view to the lake.

The air conditioning system is mainly used in the common areas, while the
corridor has natural lighting and air circulation for energy efficiency.

Dominating materials are the brick walls for the massive boundary lines, glass to
enable visual access, and the filigree structure to optimize natural lighting and
cross ventilation for almost all the rooms. The units are designed in response
to the front area of the site that serves as the main access for the cars and to
the lake. To their left and right are other units, and the back of the buildings is
separated from Unit 10 only by a 1.5 m wide pedestrian corridor. Each of the
building masses adapts to its surrounding through the allocation of private spaces
at the front and an open garden at the back, enabling a sense of openness, wider
pedestrian paths, and a larger garden at the back.

The inner courts are placed facing one another, forming a boundary between the
units that takes the form of an open garden instead of a high separating wall. The
inner court also enables the building volume to be thinner and optimizes natural
lighting and air circulation.

Unit 18 has a living room that serves as the focal area, with higher ceiling
compared to other rooms and a closed appearance at its upper part and an open
look below, to establish a greater sense of privacy. Such an arrangement creates
a monolithic look while also filters the intensity of the sunlight. The dining room
has a lower ceiling and an intimate atmosphere.

with holes that enable air circulation and light and
a continuum with the spaces below.

When designing the Terrain Houses for the first time, Andra Matin decided to
place the main entrance to the side of the building. The circulation of movements
inside is facilitated through a kind of corridor between the sitting area and the
work area, followed by an inner court with left and right boundary walls and
a two-story-high ceiling, creating a visual surprise for the guests as they walk
deeper into the house.

The sitting room that functions as the main area has a small courtyard inside,
creating a strong sense of privacy. The bedrooms are located upstairs. The master
bedroom looks directly to the courtyard, with an open bathroom that makes the
room feel larger. Unit 20 is located on a site with a lot of existing trees, making it
a special unit. To leave the trees intact, parts of the roofing are left open, forming
sources of natural light and air circulation for the spaces below. The rooms are
spread out, giving rise to a playful spatial arrangement.

The sitting and the dining areas are the main areas and located upstairs, next to
each other. The children bedrooms and the master bedroom are connected with
an open corridor that crosses the garden area. The garden itself serves as a shelter
for the space below.

In unit 19 and 20, the garage and laundry spaces are designed in an interlock to
optimize the use of land.
