Lumintu House featured on World Architects
#WorldBuildingOfTheWeek – Located in Tangerang, the largest city in the Indonesian province of Banten, Kampoong Guha consists of a children’s library, educational spaces, residences, and the office of Realrich Architecture Workshop Studio (@realricharchitectureworkshop), which is both architect and client for the community-focused project. Architect Realrich Sjarief answered a few questions about the project.
WA: What makes this project unique?
RS: We see Indonesia as a postcolonial country, and we recognize its lack of resources. We believe that architecture doesn’t need to be expensive to be beautiful. Kampoong Guha is shaped by the intangible knowledge of the local craftsman. Our approach prioritizes craftsmanship over expensive materials.
WA: What is the inspiration behind the design of the building?
RS: The architecture of Kampoong Guha unfolds like an intricate kampung journey. The design explores and imitates the quality of a kampung within the intimate scale. Spaces flow through like one in a tight alley, venturing through intimate corridors to big communal spaces.
