Javandi House explores possibilities in combining two contrasting cultures, Javanese and Scandinavian, into a harmonious and innovative residential dwelling.
 
Situated on a rural land measuring 16 x 13 meters, the house comprises three main rectangular masses interconnected by a spacious courtyard at its center. Following the principles of Javanese architecture, the mass in the front functions as the main entrance and living area, while the two accompanying masses on the right and left sides, and a wide courtyard in the middle.

A two-story mass on the right accommodates three bedrooms on the lower level and above is family room with a front balcony. On the left side, there is a small garden, staircase access to the upper level, gandok (kitchen), a laundry and utility area, with a guest room and a balcony for barbecuing located above. Although the masses appear separate, they are interconnected, providing access to specific spaces such as a reading room or a barbecue area, all covered by a transparent roof material capable of absorbing ultraviolet (UV) rays. Each space can be comfortably accessed regardless of weather conditions, ensuring shelter from both heat and rain.

At the front, a Javanese-style krepyak gate and two kamboja trees serve as welcoming features. In the midst of the building, a spacious courtyard acts as an open space, providing excellent natural light, airflow, visual openness, and a sense of natural ambiance. This courtyard also serves as a gathering space for various family activities, such as playing with children, relaxation, or enjoying the warmth of traditional Javanese atmosphere.

The use of materials in Javandi House is carefully considered to be suitable and accepted in both contexts. The use of materials such as brick veneer, finished plaster, checkerboard tiles (black and white) and other materials that prioritize natural colors to create a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

The design optimizes the entry of sunlight through the use of wide Scandinavian-style windows and transparent roofs. Additionally, the krepyak doors and windows allow for good airflow without compromising the privacy of the occupants. The transparent roofs maximize the penetration of natural light into the interior spaces while promoting excellent air circulation. These elements create a bright, fresh, comfortable and healthy atmosphere within the house.
