A Modern Marvel Amidst Tropical Splendor

Nestled within North Jakarta’s lush tropical landscape, DD House stands as a testament to architectural finesse. Completed in 2018, this 1356 sqm masterpiece seamlessly integrates with its environment, exemplifying elegance and sophistication. The natural stone facade, deliberate and aesthetic, balances materials and textures, while an intricate patterned screen allows light to dance through the spaces, creating a private oasis connected to the outdoors. DD House embodies sustainable design principles, respecting tradition while embracing modernity. With wooden blinds casting dynamic patterns, DD House invites you to explore its symmetrical layout, where every element exudes luxury and harmony. 

DD House stands as a testament to the beauty of balance. It is a masterpiece where modern architecture and the tropical environment exist in perfect harmony. The use of natural stone on the facade is not merely an aesthetic choice but a deliberate fusion with the building’s structure. This choice achieves a harmonious balance of materials and textures, blending architecture with nature. The intricate patterned screen on the upper section of DD House allows light to dance through the spaces, creating a private oasis that still feels open and connected to the outdoors.

Ascend the staircase, and the upper floor reveals its secrets. Private quarters await—bedrooms thoughtfully placed for rest and rejuvenation. Each room boasts ample windows, bathing the spaces in warmth throughout the day. The intricate patterned screen continues here, allowing light to playfully filter through. Solid timber joists support this level, their well-understood structure providing affordability and versatility. Strutting stabilizes the joists, ensuring stability. A single layer of plasterboard forms the ceiling below, completing the cozy ambiance. DD House harmonizes public and private realms, bridging modernity and nature. It’s not just a dwelling; it’s a sanctuary where architecture and tropical elegance coexist. 

One of the most striking features of DD House is its “Blue Water Swimming Pool,” As night descends upon DD House, the pool area becomes a tranquil oasis, a Paradise Found. The pool’s tranquil blue waters emit a soft glow, reflecting the moonlight and enhancing the tropical ambiance. The wooden deck, with its meandering path, invites one to a leisurely stroll, where the texture of the wood underfoot is as reassuring as the gentle lapping of the water.

As you step into DD House, the grandeur of the entrance area unfolds before you, showcasing symmetrical elements combined with marble and wood materials. The white grand piano sits majestically to one side, its glossy surface reflecting the soft ambient lighting, a symbol of sophistication and a centerpiece that immediately captures the attention of all who enter. The entrance is a showcase of symmetrical design, where every element is meticulously placed to create a sense of order and balance. The floor, a stunning checkered pattern of marble and wood, gleams underfoot, guiding guests further into the heart of the home.

The family room is designed to blend seamlessly with the dining room and kitchen, making this area feel spacious combined with a modern-style interior design. This open-plan design encourages interaction and connectivity among family members. The kitchen and dining area are designed in a symmetrical shape and have good spatial circulation. The layout facilitates a smooth flow of movement, making it easy to navigate from one space to another.

The use of wooden blinds is a clever design choice, serving a dual purpose. They provide respite from the tropical sun while also creating a dynamic play of light and shadow that adds depth and character to the interior. As the sun moves across the sky, the blinds cast ever-changing patterns, bringing a sense of rhythm and movement to the serene setting.

The master bedroom of DD House is a sanctuary of elegance and repose. Through the ornate black partition, we glimpse a realm where luxury and comfort converge. The large bed with its tufted headboard beckons, promising restful slumber against the backdrop of a wood-paneled wall. The nightstands with their soft lamps stand as sentinels of light, casting a warm glow that invites tranquility.

The bathroom uses two colors of marble on the floor and walls, making the room feel expensive and elegant. This luxurious touch is part of the overall design philosophy of DD House, where every detail contributes to an atmosphere of sophisticated living.

The children’s bedroom, captured in this alternate view, is a realm of whimsy and wonder. The bunk bed stands as a centerpiece, its lower bunk an enclave of privacy with white panels and a playful window-like opening. The upper bunk, a lofty perch for dreams, is reached by a staircase that promises adventure with each step.

DD House is more than just a residence; it is a statement of how modern living can coexist with nature. It stands as a shining example of the potential of modern tropical architecture in Indonesia, where innovation meets tradition, and sustainability is as much a part of the design as beauty. With its thoughtful design and attention to detail, DD House tells a story of modern elegance, tropical sensibility, and a deep respect for the natural world. Vertical gardens and sleek lines define the estate’s aesthetic, offering a harmonious blend of luxury and nature.
