Hi, let me introduce myself, my name is Lia.
I am the owner of Parhuis. I've lived in this house for almost 3 years. There are many ups and downs that surround our journey in this house. yes, we chose to build this house from ZERO or while still on the ground. the reason is, we want to have a house that suits our needs and dreams. Parhuis is located in East Jakarta. It's a bit tight to South Jakarta too. Our house is not located in a prestigious housing complex or cluster, but in an alley close to a fairly large road. What we thought about when choosing to have a house in this area was access that really supports our mobility. For matters of prestige, we will get rid of it first :D The important thing is that your child's school is close, there are many choices of hospitals and what's more, it is close to the city center.
The parhuis was built on a land area of 198 m and the building space is almost 252 m. Thank God, we are grateful because this is our first home. which we give to
children.
even though our house is not in a prestigious housing complex or in a cluster. However, we still prioritize comfort in a residence. We really want to feel comfortable at home, with the hope that our house can accommodate all our needs.
Starting from that reason, we collected a sufficient budget to build a house using the services of an architect.
Why? because we realize that we are ordinary people who don't understand architecture or things about building houses. and for the long term we don't want to just build our dream home carelessly.
long story short, we used the services of Aaksen studio. they were very welcoming and listened to our wishes. For the initial stage, they submitted several surveys to find out what our family's behavior was like. from hobbies, items that we like to collect and our family's habits. and no less important, they asked about how important Privacy is to us.
for lay people like us, at first we didn't know what the function of the survey was. It turns out that this is one of the architects' foundations in imagining what kind of house we will live in, however the budget also comes with it.
From the start we didn't want a house with a lot of furniture. we want a house that feels spacious and comfortable.
after several meetings and brainstorming ideas with us. Finally, the idea of separated Private and Public Space which was connected by a floating bridge was created. When we first heard the idea, we thought hard about whether it was possible to have a bridge in our own house? its just not like a regular house, its extraordinary. but we liked the idea.. especially if it matched our needs. Voila, ParHuis was created.
a house with two buildings connected by a floating bridge. with a full partition facade. which provides a beautiful silhouette in the afternoon when sunlight enters the house. and we are very about it..
