Prada House

Residential2026

A four-metre house opens toward a private court and double-height living room, keeping its street face low, screened, and light-filled.

A house four metres wide can easily become a long interior passage. Prada House answers differently: it gives the street a low, screened face, then lets the home open upward and inward. Timber slats filter the view from South Jakarta's dense street, and a roof cutout in the three-metre carport makes room for a tree to remain part of the arrival.

The main living area rises through a double-height void because the upper floor is held to the back half of the site. At the centre, a 2 × 2 metre courtyard pulls daylight and cross-ventilation through the plan. Its timber deck gives the court a small place to pause, while an internal balcony from the master suite keeps the upper floor in sight of the air below.

The open ground floor brings living, dining, coffee bar, and kitchen together. Its custom furniture is calibrated to movement: a sofa extends only when deep lounging is wanted, rounded dining edges soften narrow circulation, and the stair depth absorbs a four-door fridge, shoe storage, and a robot-vacuum station. At the rear, the laundry area is concealed and drained beneath its deck.

Light wood joinery, cream walls, Andesite, and large granite kitchen slabs keep the palette clear and tactile. The house does not deny its narrow lot; it makes every edge answer it.
