The Design

About Ro54 Rumah Tinggal Tunggal

RO54 adalah rumah tinggal tunggal yang dibangun di lahan berlereng di Los Angeles. Rumah ini menggunakan tata letak split-level dengan pelat lantai berselang yang ditata mengelilingi sebuah void sentral. Tangga penghubung di bagian tengah menghadirkan sinar matahari dan keterhubungan visual hingga ke level terdalam, sehingga mengurangi jarak fisik maupun psikologis antar ruang. Selubung luarnya dikerjakan dengan pemesinan CNC dari rancangan digital dan mengikuti bentuk otomotif yang aerodinamis. Kantilever sepanjang 16 kaki di lantai kedua membentuk kanopi pintu masuk. Denah lantai yang terbuka memungkinkan perabot ditata ulang.

Design Challenge: How can we minimize the physical and psychological distances between different chambers in a residential assemblage? Most homes are constructed with rooms arranged in either horizontal or vertical layouts, which often lead to partitioning and separation due to privacy or functional requirements. Walls, doors, and other barriers typically divide these spaces.
Research: Our aim for tackling this stoic problem was to reduce the time (Δt) required to access other spaces in the program, physically or psychologically. We looked at the problem on a horizontal plane (xy axis), where we aimed to dissolve all unnecessary divisions. This meant direct visual connection from one space to most other spaces in the house, which shortened the time of accessing information in other parts of the house, therefore reducing its psychological distances.
Inspiration: The design vocabulary was informed by streamline automotive aesthetics, proposing every technology in the house to have exponent performance discreetly, allowing the architectural space to deliver a sensory performance.
Project Duration: 07/2017-06/2022
1254 Roberto Ln, Bel Air, CA 90077, USA
Operation Flow: The project itself provided for an inclusive engagement with its surrounding space by means of large open spaces and utilization of the ideals of transparency for honest integration into its surrounding community. There is little to hide and what belongs to the house belongs to the neighborhood and conversely, what belongs to the neighborhood is brought into the house. The architecture in turn demands a change of attitude from its occupants towards the community, to be open and to be known.
