A courtyard between two buildings

AD House, Bekasi

A single-storey house, renovated and rebuilt as two. The building was split along its length, a courtyard placed between the two masses. The plot runs deep. The division made room for light and air to reach both.

The courtyard sits between the two buildings, open above where the canopy allows. The living room faces it on one side, the kitchen and dining on the other. Brick cladding lines the courtyard walls. A concrete bench runs along one wall. In front of it, space left for planting.

Above, the void rises to a skylight, interrupted only by the bridge that crosses it. Bedroom windows open toward it.

The house does not change character. Outside and inside, the same materials, the same surfaces. The courtyard connects what the renovation divided.
