Jade House
Jade House is a private residence designed for a French family living in Indonesia, shaped by memories, daily rituals, and a sense of belonging across cultures. As architects, we approached this home as a space that could quietly hold emotion rather than express it through literal forms. The design reflects childhood nostalgia, where the house becomes a place for play, connection, and shared moments.
At the center, the living area is imagined as an interactive space, where a slide connects levels and transforms movement into experience. This openness continues toward the backyard, where a pool and a petanque court create a setting for both relaxation and family bonding while subtly referencing their French roots.
The house follows the natural slope of the site, allowing each level to sit comfortably within the landscape. Light finishes and carefully selected materials respond to the tropical climate, creating a calm and enduring atmosphere that feels personal, warm, and deeply lived in.
