A classic home is always identic with a white building facade, especially AM House in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta. There are many reasons why white is always become the best choice for classic. White is a timeless color that never goes out of style. It’s the sense of purity and elegance which are the main characteristics of classic design.
Besides, the white façade allows the architectural details and features to stand out and be appreciated. Moreover, we use black for the roof covering, as well as the windows and other details. The classic style of this house which has 4 story is also strengthened by the application of the large and tall double walls in the main entrance.
As the first impression of the house, the entrance area of AM House becomes an architectural focal point. It not only enhances the aesthetic appeal and creates a sense of arrival but also reflects the home’s identity. In this house, the entrance has a symmetrical layout with ornate detailing and various choice of materials. As for the floor, we use black marbles which matches the elegance-prominent front door, also the pendant light.
At the same time, the juxtaposition of the white and black color create a harmonious composition. It breaks up the monotony and adds visual interest. Then, we add a patterned wood accent to the ceiling. The presence of wood brings a natural element into the space. They help to establish a timeless ambiance too in AM House.
Furthermore, the application of wood accents in the AM House is not only in the entrance area but also in the interior. One of them is in the pantry. In this area, the wood elements become its furniture which works beautifully together with the luxurious marble. The color tone between the white-yellowish marble and the wood is perfect. They all contribute to making a unified look and elegance of the space as well. The pantry becomes one of the timeless elegant rooms in AM House.
The marble also comes in the master bathroom. Interestingly, we are using some different patterns of marble, yet with a similar color tone. The combination of soft pastel-colored furniture and golden room details makes this bathroom create visually engaging. Furthermore, there is a light fixture that hangs from the ceiling above the bathtub. Actually, the lighting helps accentuates the marble and creates a bathroom that exudes elegance. It’s such a perfect spot for having a me-time in AM House!
