Sited on a semi-urban plot measuring 8 x 36m in the fringe of Jakarta, JC Residence is a home for a young growing family and is designed to take advantage of the depth of the site by creating a private sanctuary at the back of the house. 

An introverted house - a typical strategy in a very busy, dense concrete jungle such as that of greater Jakarta, the house adopts a humble discreet side entrance which eventually leads to and culminates in a double height light-filled space with views towards the swimming pool in the backyard. 

The entrance is placed slightly setback from the garage to offer a greater sense of arrival while the garage itself offers a larger buffer between the bedrooms and the street in front of the house, thus creating a more private setting for the bedrooms.
