Crafted to suit the refined tastes of discerning young urbanites, The Regatta Apartment embodies a harmonious balance of style and functionality. Given its narrow allotment and spatial limitations, the design challenge was to fit all the essential components of daily living while providing a sense of openness and flexibility within a compact apartment.
Located in the coastal area of North Jakarta, this150-square-meter apartment emphasizes the scenic panorama of its surrounding.The previously segmented layout was reconfigured to enable seamless visual connections across common areas,extending the kitchen and dining space to better acommodate guests. This open arrangement also allows natural light to flow unhindered throughout the room to enhance the apartment's airy ambiance.
Curves and organic shapes are intentionally incorporated to introduce a sense of natural movement within the space. This approach softens the rigidity of straight lines and sharp angles, creating a balanced contrast that brings warmth and approach ability to the interior. Whether subtly woven into fixtures and decor or used as a prominent design elements, these curves break the monotony, lending a playful, artistic quality that adds fluidity to the design.
To align with the context,a conscious effort was made to use as many local materials as possible.Javanese Teak and Sung kai were primarily used for the wooden elements, chosen for their beauty and durability. The colors were kept natural, and the soft matte finishes highlight the wood's grain,contributing to an overall effect of harmonious elegance.
Throughout the apartment, colors and materials are tonal and carefully selected,with subtle details incorporated to enhance visual interest and depth.This deliberate approach allows the design to maintain a cohesive aesthetic while inviting exploration. From varying the orientation of wood to placing materials with precision to form understated patterns, the design explores a refined quality that catches the eye without overwhelming the senses.
