Distracted House by Ismail solehudin Architects
“I like your messy design” said the client when he first met us. Another point is the house can be used for congregational prayer with big families which can be up to dozens of members at one time or just religious recitations with neighbors. The feel of a natural villa with a joglo roof, and trying to apply Islamic values in everyday life. As the name suggests, distractions are literally things or actions that distract. This house has been distracted because of one action of rotating one of the rooms so that it can face towards the qiblah – a design action that is our solution to the needs of the residents, worship religious activities together with a big family that can reach a lot of people. As a result of our actions, the character of the space that is obtained as well as the new character of the building form, although the basic idea is from the roof of a traditional joglo house (a vernacular house roof originating from a region in Indonesia).
“We tries to make something unique and iconic. Such as treatment of material, outer space and inner space combined with the values of locality and contextuality always characterizes our works.“

This project located in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The character of the building form begins with the use of a joglo roof (a vernacular house roof originating from a region in Indonesia) which is the dream of the occupants, we apply and transform it according to the function of the space. The berunjung (the term soaring roof on the roof of a traditional joglo house) which has the proportion of towering volumes is multiplied and below it are harbourage rooms with mezzanines and also the service area at the front while the sloping roof is used to overshadow the terrace and carport as well as overhang the roof inside the house. The spirit of the novelty of this transformation is strengthened by the effect of distracted narration, the change in the orientation of most of the roofs which have been rotated towards the qiblah faced following the space below and giving an even more character recent after the transformation of the previous form.
