MEcasa是为泗水的两个内向的人建造的两层楼房。这座房子的目的是为房子的主人创造一个隐蔽的住所，同时让房子有机会在泗水的城市环境中享受自然。从外面看，这似乎是一个隐藏的堡垒，郁郁葱葱的绿色填充了这个房子的大部分生活内院区域。坐落在泗水东部一个密集的住宅群中，这个朝东的住宅在设计上没有从街上看到任何开口。微风块和长大的绿色植物被战略性地放置在房屋前面，以过滤光线，最大限度地减少它的能见度，同时允许被动冷却到房屋内部的微风。这个房子里的空间和房间的主要方向被设计为集中在内院。
MEcasa is a two-story house for two introverts in Surabaya. The objective of the house is to create a secluded abode for the owner of the house while having the chance for the house to enjoy nature in the urban setting of Surabaya. What appears to be a hidden fortress from the outside, lush greenery fills most of the living inner courtyard area of this house. Situated in a dense residential cluster in east Surabaya, this east-facing abode was designed with no visible openings from the street. Breeze blocks and grown-out greeneries were strategically placed in front of the houses to filter the light and minimize its visibility of it while allowing the passive cooling to breeze inside the house. The main orientation of the spaces and rooms in this house is designed to focus on the inner courtyard.
办公室被放置在房子的前侧，为生活空间提供更多的隐私。主门留出了1.2米的宽度，这也是底层生活空间的主要气流循环。主门大部分时间是打开的，因为它被精心安置，设计成不直接进入主要居住空间。在房子的南侧有一个开放式的客厅，有无障碍的开口。它的放置是为了确保交叉通风和自然光全天渗透到生活区和院子里。一楼的生活区被设计成有小木屋般的元素融入其中。用自然的元素和温暖的材料选择来贴近自然。它的设计是为了给房子的主人一个平静的感觉和一个永远的退路。
The office is placed on the front side of the house to give more privacy for the living space. Leaving a 1,2-meter width for the main door which also works as the main air flow circulation for the living space on the ground floor. The main door is opened most of the time, as it is carefully placed and designed not to have direct access to the main living space. An open-plan living room with accessible openings on the south side of the house. It is placed to ensure cross ventilation and natural light penetrate the living area and the courtyard throughout the day. The living area on the ground floor is designed to have cabin-like elements into it. Close to nature with natural elements and warm material selection. It is designed to give a calming feeling and a forever retreat to the owner of the house.
这个房子的功能区设计得很紧凑，便于夫妻居住。通过隐藏的储藏室和内置的柜子，使有限的生活空间最大化。转到二楼，我们会经过一个带有天窗和木梁的楼梯，一年四季都有俏皮的影子光。它是沿着东西向设计的，以利用太阳的运动，使房子一年四季都有不同的感觉。二楼的卧室设计有高高的天花板，以便于未来的发展。它的设计考虑到有一个夹层的可能性，以增加功能和存储。
The functional area in this house is designed to be compact and accessible for the couple to live in. With hidden storage and a built-in cabinet to maximize the limited living space. Moving to the second floor, we’ll pass a stair with skylight and wood beams to give a playful shadow light throughout the year. It is designed along the east-west orientation to take advantage of the Sun’s movements, giving the house different feels all year round. The bedrooms on the second floor are designed with high ceilings for future development. It is designed to consider the possibility of having a mezzanine floor for additional function and storage.
