GeTs Architects - Unsur Alam & Inspirasi Wild Afrika

Wooden elements in a home can create a natural and warm ambiance Among the many types of wood available the primary consideration in selection is typically its intended use—whether for interior or exterior applications No the thoughtful incorporation of wooden elements can create or enhance a classic ambiance in a home Yeah just like the residence we're about to visit this morning Dito It is the work of architect Gerald Pamunan blending natural elements of wood with the industrial touch of steel So in my opinion this is a very well- designed tropical house Dito Absolutely agree No in the Dulux Pantelite Colors of the World theme this wood -dominated style fits perfectly within the Wild Africa theme Plus the color palette has that brownish tone to it No soon we'll be having a direct conversation about this house's design with the architect themselves Mas Gerald Pamunan so stay at Dulux Pantelite Colors of the World Hi good morning Hi Brother Well here's the viewer the architect behind this home Alright sir what's really fascinating from the very first moment I saw and approached this residence is its front facade Since there's material handling involved wood and steel are both being used No what exactly is the intended impression that this design phase is trying to create We create a truly modern impression using fundamental forms So we're making this front area appear dense apparently to block sunlight coming from the west Oh so his house actually faces west huh That means the sun hits it pretty directly in the afternoon right Okay okay And when we go inside just remember to look up—you'll see all these steel or iron details up there The fabric has a pattern of holes So how does this process work sir It is actually a decorative element an extension of the roof's gabled shape We draw it from behind the building flowing forward covering its front facade Also to reduce the heat impact on the building like that Oh that's right Again the main goal is just to reduce the heat block the sun you know that kind of thing No Mas Gerad besides having a perforated pattern extending from the roof What's also interesting here is how geometric the pattern is Straight neat lines arranged in an orderly fashion Well does this serve any purpose or what Yes this is actually by design—functionally it serves as a rallying point But in terms of corridor we aim to strengthen the function of this space This corridor space is designed as an entry processing entrance So as we ascended the entrance stairs we enjoyed the trees in the neighboring area The koi pond was something we brought over from the client's previous home a cherished pet you know So guests can also sit here and enjoy the fish What's this material Mas Bajah Aluminum Oh aluminum Why did Mas Gerlach choose this brown color for the kitchen this time Yes because the main purpose of this house's design is actually to highlight the wood The client likes the wood finish and the aluminum is matched to a wood-tone color Its base is all gray combined with a return to marble this cream-colored kraftin marble wall So it's intentionally coordinated then Yes coordinated to achieve color harmony Yeah so it could be said that the color palette used is indeed natural colors right Sir Yes natural colors Mr Gerlach how large is the plot of land you're standing on And what about the building's area itself Its land area is 400 square meters 400 The building area is 800 square meters Okay so if it's 800 square meters how many floors does that make There are three floors in this building The client initially wanted a large warehouse with space for six cars so we placed everything in that area at the lowest level Okay so the lower floor area is mostly for the garage storing cars right Garage and storage room The area service is also available Oh service below Yes exactly The upper floor area is used for the guest room living room kitchen and swimming pool Oh there's also a swimming pool Well what about the topmost floor It's even more private up there Spaces such as the family room children's bedroom and master bedroom Okay well if we take a look at Dito this residence is indeed dominated by wooden elements Yes Really Everything here is wooden flooring and even the ceiling above is made of wood No was there any consideration in choosing the type of wood sir From the very first time I met with the client for this house The first thing that comes to mind is that he likes wood But we recommend outdoor wood especially the kind that's used outdoors Okay What kind of wood would you like to use This is ulin wood Ulin wood All the ulin wood is visible here Yes yes All of these Everything Okay Okay Mas Gera it turns out there's still quite a bit of natural material used inside this residence huh Yeah Like wood and also marble this travertine earlier No actually for residences that are quite numerous or quite dominant incorporating natural elements is key That's the wall paint color that pairs perfectly with natural elements like this—Mas what kind of colors would suit something like this Since there's a lot of wood here we're using a lot of beige to keep everything harmonious in color Beige What if went with brown instead Chocolate is coming in too Is chocolate still coming in as well Light chocolates right Light chocolate absolutely correct No if the color were something like brown then combined with natural elements This fits perfectly with the Dulux Pantelite Colors of the World theme one of whose highlights is Wild Africa No Dito but what I'm seeing here this house or residence isn't just dominated by wood elements alone There are also steel and iron components in it—everything you see here that's right Exploring the use of steel and iron elements doesn't this give a heavy impression to the house It shouldn't be heavy since steel is more modern so it should feel lightweight Besides steel we also combine it with glass elements o create a sense of openness in the home glass symbolizes the absence of boundaries He's limiting it but we can still see something like a panda rescue right Exactly so it's also combined with handrail elements using stainless steel Here the main door is also made transparent so it doesn’t give the usual impression of a typical main door The advantage is that we're on the second floor with the main entrance so privacy is actually quite well maintained Now let's head up to the interior—we'll make the walk more fun together Mr Gerat regarding the interior of this residence it's all in the spaces we're currently in How should it be designed to harmonize with the architecture of this residence It's already been mentioned that the style leans more toward modern right What about the interior We also blurred the boundaries between the functions of the spaces inside Here as you can see everything becomes one open area Dining room living room kitchen—no massive partitions And all interior colors are also coordinated with the building 's architectural elements such as the light brown materials Everything became seamlessly interconnected Earlier it was mentioned that this blurs the existing boundaries between spaces but to ensure it still looks clear that this is the zone for this space that zone for that space No how would that work without setting boundaries The intention isn't to separate at all Don't you not want to be separated No because that was the whole point—to bring everything together All the main functions of the family are located right here So they merge together everything flows Like this space is also designed to flow seamlessly between two open areas Like two terraces this staircase gives the impression of being in a terrace area So we're sitting as if right in the middle squeezed between two open spaces So we could say this staircase area can be referred to as an exterior space or porch basically The reason is that there is material repetition here specifically wood used both indoors and outdoors It's very clear so since this wood has been flowing into the house ever since we first entered it symbolizes the outdoor area Interestingly we've also designed a skylight right above this staircase area offering a direct view of the open sky outside Now I'm heading to the outdoor area behind here Fresh air you know there's water over there Okay let's head over there then sir I'd feel so relieved if there were an opening inside a house like this wouldn't you And it really feels different when we're out here like this in an outdoor setting you know It's very much in tune with nature Dito—there are plenty of trees and leaves and it's not overly open Then what about Mas Gerat giving an experience like that The experience I'm feeling right now is exactly what users here must be going through Of course since there are many transparent areas here we'll make them like this Oh this glass right Yeah to blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces earlier We also sit inside feeling just as much like we're outside In this way our sense of the threshold isn't rigidly defined only at the window's edge We pull it in so the boundary blurs completely like that Oh so there's a little part that's also made of wood huh Something's out there Even a small detail can have a significant impact enough to shape the impression of an outdoor space flowing inward So the two floors aren't fully flush against the outer wall instead they're given a small gap Yeah so if I sit inside I can really feel what the natural surroundings are like That's it nice and good No actually this is one last question more like a tip for viewers at home How do you even manage to mix such a variety of materials like in this home Natural stone was used first then wood followed by glass and then metals—steel or aluminum as mentioned earlier No to keep a modern feel while still harmonizing with natural elements Well how about this One thing I'm certain about is that especially when it comes to designing I don't use overly vibrant colors It means he uses a single tone with all the derived colors harmonizing seamlessly From those colors we balance with nature Nature can be portrayed with a green serene impression like this softening all those colors to achieve balance Well in a way the common thread tying all those materials together was color For example just like earlier there was aluminum color and also one looking for a brownish shade similar to wood So the color naturally aligns perfectly on its own So it's fair to say that tropical homes like this which incorporate abundant natural elements such as wood are particularly well-suited to earth-toned color palettes Matching the Dulux Pantelite Color of Gold featuring a Wild Africa theme Okay don't go anywhere—we'll be back after this one stay right there at Dulux
