10º House stands in South Tangerang, Indonesia, with its street face tilted ten degrees to the east and its form cut from textured concrete. Designed by STUDIÉ, the house treats climate, shadow, and material as equal partners in daily life. Rooms gather around courtyards and tall openings that modulate light and privacy, while timber and stone temper the concrete’s weight with warmth.
Designed by the renowned firm RAD+ar, the Passive Lab House in South Tangerang City, Indonesia, is a captivating exploration of tropical passive design in a postmodern urban context. This experimental house employs innovative techniques, such as overlapping void spaces, reflective pools, and strategically placed skylights, to create a comfortable microclimate without relying on active systems. The project’s thoughtful integration of biophilic and tropical elements within a contemporary design language offers a promising solution to the challenges posed by unplanned urbanization.
