AK Shophouse

We were assigned to design a shophouse in Yogyakarta City. The building uses an adaptation of Indies architecture by responding to the climatic context. On the right side of the building that functions as a shop and warehouse, we use brise-soleil oriented diagonally to support air and indirect sunlight entering the space and provide shade with a thickened facade. On the right side of the building the brise-soleil is applied perpendicular to the facade. On the left, which is used as a residence, we use vertical and horizontal rhythms. Response to tropical climate and environment characterized by regulation of ventilation, lighting, and protection against rain. On the east-facing facade, there is a fairly wide opening, this room is used as a liaison and transition between residences and shops.
