The versatile ground floor living room boasts floors of polished concrete and a bluish Sukabumi-tiled lap pool at the rear that acts as a buffer against the highway that runs directly behind the house. Greenery is a theme well incorporated into the house, with green spaces placed on each floor at both the front and rear. Glass paneling extends along the length of the ground floor, showcasing the greenery that adorns the outer edge of the home.
Measuring approximately 1.5 times larger than the ground volume, the second floor comprises a rectangular volume fabricated from textured, fair-face concrete. 37FC-House’s second floor contains bedrooms, bookended by chamfer-cut edges that open up to views of both the street and the garden. The master bedroom comes complete with a walk-in wardrobe and a master bathroom; the two junior suites overlook the backyard garden and pool area.
A black steel sculptured staircase joins the four floors of the home. The bottom of the stairwell leads to the basement containing a multimedia room. Light from the swimming pool creeps into the subterranean space through a glass port that lines the far end. A skylight at the top of the staircase allows natural light to cascade into the house. The attic that doubles as a guest bedroom has a space allocated for greenery and a water feature.
Designed as a smart house, 37FC-House boasts a reduced carbon footprint. From solar paneling that reduces energy consumption, to an EIB system that allows lighting to be controlled from a smart phone application, the home contains a handful of features that contribute to almost 30 percent overall energy savings.
