PADELIO is conceived as an active social space where sport becomes part of the everyday experience.
Transparency plays a central role, allowing visual connections between the café and padel courts, turning movement and play into a shared backdrop.

Soft geometries, pastel tones, and open circulation create a relaxed yet energetic atmosphere—balancing performance, leisure, and community.
Rather than separating functions, the design embraces overlap, encouraging interaction, visibility, and collective engagement throughout the space.

“Where Sport, Space, and Social Life Intersect.”

This café interior is conceived as a layered spatial field, where transparency and overlap define the experience rather than enclosure.
Instead of a strictly linear composition, the space unfolds through a series of open zones that visually intersect, allowing activities, light, and movement to remain continuously connected.

Glazed garden enclosures are positioned as spatial mediators—neither fully inside nor outside—introducing depth and visual permeability across the interior. Seating arrangements respond to this condition through curved benches, freestanding tables, and informal groupings that soften circulation and encourage fluid occupation.

A restrained material palette of light timber, textured surfaces, and neutral tones establishes continuity across the space, while skylights and diffused artificial lighting reinforce a calm and evenly lit atmosphere. The interior is not defined by singular focal points, but by a sequence of spatial layers that support everyday use, flexibility, and prolonged presence.

“An Interior Defined by Layers, Light, and Continuity.”

This café is conceived as an inward-looking architecture where landscape, light, and social life take precedence over form.
Organized around a central courtyard, the project dissolves the boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing circulation, seating, and vegetation to merge into a continuous spatial experience.

A restrained palette of plaster, terrazzo, concrete, and timber creates a neutral backdrop one that amplifies natural light, shadow, and human presence rather than competing with them.
Through shaded terraces, permeable edges, and layered seating, the architecture prioritizes atmosphere, comfort, and duration of stay.

Rather than seeking iconic expression, the design focuses on how people move, pause, and gather, positioning the café as a quiet social landscape shaped by climate and everyday rituals.

This project presents a contemporary reinterpretation of classical architecture, translating principles of symmetry, proportion, and hierarchy into a spatially efficient and modern built form. Rather than reproducing historical ornamentation, the design abstracts classical elements into simplified geometries and restrained detailing, allowing the architecture to express formality and permanence without visual excess.

The building is organized through a clear axial composition that establishes a strong sense of order and orientation. This formal arrangement guides circulation while reinforcing spatial hierarchy between public, semi-public, and private areas. The clarity of this organization enables the project to accommodate multiple functions seamlessly, supporting both residential and communal activities within a coherent architectural framework.

Material selection plays a key role in reinforcing the project’s architectural intent. A predominantly light-toned palette is employed across both interior and exterior surfaces, enhancing natural light distribution and emphasizing spatial continuity. Polished stone flooring, neutral wall finishes, and subtle metal accents are combined to create a calm, unified atmosphere that supports the classical proportions of the space while remaining distinctly contemporary.

Interior spaces are defined by generous ceiling heights and repetitive wall paneling, which establish rhythm and scale without relying on decorative excess. Lighting is integrated as an architectural element rather than a focal feature, using a combination of recessed fixtures and select statement lighting to articulate key spaces and enhance spatial depth.

The relationship between interior and exterior is carefully maintained through aligned openings and consistent proportions, ensuring that the architectural language remains legible from multiple viewpoints. Landscape elements and reflective surfaces further soften the building’s presence, allowing it to sit comfortably within its context.

A Tropical Courtyard House Defined by Privacy and Material Restraint

This residential project explores a contemporary response to tropical urban living through an introverted architectural composition. A solid terracotta perimeter wall establishes privacy from the street while acting as a climatic buffer, allowing the house to turn inward and organize daily life around a central courtyard. This spatial strategy creates a gradual transition from public to private, balancing enclosure with openness.

Natural ventilation and daylight are optimized through layered spaces, shaded corridors, and semi-outdoor areas, reducing dependence on mechanical cooling. Warm textures—such as terracotta finishes and vertical wood slats—are contrasted with black steel elements to express structural clarity and material honesty. Inside, built-in furniture and full-height cabinetry reinforce spatial efficiency and visual calm, while carefully framed openings reconnect interior spaces with greenery.

Rather than pursuing formal spectacle, the house emphasizes proportion, atmosphere, and environmental intelligence, presenting a quiet yet confident model of tropical domestic architecture rooted in context, comfort, and longevity.

.entertainment redefines the boundary between function and aesthetics within a creative workspace. Set within a vibrant urban context, the studio was conceived as more than just an office — it is a living framework for inspiration, collaboration, and architectural expression.

My design approach began with a simple ambition: to create a workspace where openness, natural light, and material honesty converge to elevate creativity. The open-plan layout dissolves barriers, enabling a seamless flow of ideas among its occupants. Frameless glass partitions extend visual connections, allowing daylight to flood deep into the interior while blurring the threshold between inside and out.

Materiality forms the backbone of the design narrative. Warm timber surfaces, paired with steel and glass, produce a calm yet dynamic atmosphere. Every joint, line, and proportion was considered with precision, embracing the principle of “less, but better.” This clarity of form ensures that the architecture supports — rather than overwhelms — the creative process.

Ultimately, Loys Studio embodies my belief that architecture is not merely about building walls, but about shaping culture. It is a manifesto for how space can become a catalyst for innovation, a home for ideas, and a reflection of the people who bring it to life.

Berlokasi di sebuah hunian vertikal di pusat kota, proyek interior ini merevitalisasi cara pandang terhadap kehidupan apartemen melalui kejernihan spasial dan kehangatan material. Fokus desainnya terletak pada solusi built-in, sirkulasi yang mengalir, serta palet warna netral dan tekstur kayu yang menghadirkan suasana tenang dan bersahaja.

Transformasi interior ini menjawab kebutuhan akan hunian urban minimalis dengan optimalisasi ruang sempit. Berlokasi di apartemen tipe studio yang sebelumnya berkesan sempit, gelap, dan utilitarian, proyek ini merevolusi seluruh atmosfer ruang melalui pendekatan kontemporer yang terukur, fungsional, dan tetap memperhatikan keseimbangan tekstur serta pencahayaan.

Elemen fungsional seperti kabinet tersembunyi dan furnitur kustom diintegrasikan untuk mengoptimalkan setiap sudut ruang, sementara pencahayaan tidak langsung dan tekstur berlapis menciptakan pengalaman ruang yang mendalam dan taktil. Transisi antar ruang berlangsung alami—dari pantry terbuka menuju area duduk yang menyatu, menciptakan alur gerak yang intuitif.

Melalui ritme, proporsi, dan kesunyian visual, apartemen ini bukan sekadar tempat tinggal—melainkan sebuah tempat bernaung yang meditatif di atas keramaian kota.

Dirancang sebagai studio kecantikan multifungsi, proyek ini berangkat dari kebutuhan nyata pengguna—yakni ruang kerja, konsultasi, dan dokumentasi konten dalam satu setting yang solid namun lembut.

Layout disusun secara linear dan terbuka, mengutamakan flow pengguna dari pintu masuk menuju area kerja utama. Meja rias menyatu dengan backdrop putih bersih dan lighting fungsional, sementara bukaan kaca besar memastikan pencahayaan alami dapat masuk maksimal, menciptakan mood hangat sepanjang hari.

Pemilihan warna didominasi netral—putih tulang, abu terang, dan aksen wood texture—membingkai ruang agar tampil jernih di kamera namun tetap nyaman digunakan dalam keseharian. Tidak ada elemen yang mendominasi, semuanya menyatu dalam irama yang tenang dan ringan.

Tanaman indoor dan sentuhan vertikal memberi aksen hidup, membuat ruang ini tak hanya sebagai tempat bekerja, tetapi juga ruang bernafas dan berkembang—baik untuk pengguna maupun brand yang tumbuh di dalamnya.

“Kami merancangnya bukan sebagai tempat rias semata, tapi sebagai panggung kecil tempat kepercayaan diri dilahirkan setiap hari.”

Di tengah deretan rumah homogen di kawasan urban tropis, hunian dua lantai ini tampil menonjol lewat ekspresi bentuk dan kejujuran material. Fasade segitiga simetris berselimut wooden cladding vertikal menghidupkan atap pelana menjadi titik fokus visual yang mencuri perhatian dari kejauhan—ikonik, namun tidak berlebihan.

Elemen kisi besi hitam dan pencahayaan arsitektural menjadi kunci dalam menciptakan kedalaman bayangan saat sore hari—efek dramatis yang sangat Instagrammable. Elemen ini tidak hanya estetis, tetapi juga memperkuat privasi dari luar tanpa membuat fasad tertutup sepenuhnya.

Area taman kecil dengan pohon bonsai tropis menjadi narasi tenang di tengah rapatnya perumahan. Ia bukan sekadar dekoratif, tapi menjadi oase mikro—membangun koneksi antara alam dan ruang huni dalam skala sangat intim.

Di lantai atas, ruang terbuka multifungsi (balkon dan teras) mengoptimalkan orientasi cahaya dan angin, sekaligus menawarkan ruang kontemplasi terbuka. Ladder besi minimalis hadir sebagai akses praktis dan menjadi gestur arsitektural yang ringan namun fungsional.

Warna pintu oranye dibubuhkan sebagai pernyataan personal: hangat, ramah, dan berani. Ia kontras terhadap dominasi monokromatik yang memberi kesan elegan sekaligus bersih di latar visual media sosial.

Terletak pada sebuah lahan urban yang relatif padat, rumah ini hadir sebagai pernyataan elegan dengan pendekatan arsitektur klasik yang diperhalus. Tampilan façade-nya begitu khas: simetris, bersih, dan kokoh—mengadopsi elemen kolom dorik dan fronton segitiga yang diolah dalam warna putih gading. Komposisi ini memberi kesan agung sekaligus ramah sejak pandangan pertama.

Pintu utama berbentuk lengkung menciptakan impresi masuk yang dramatis, ditemani chandelier klasik yang menyoroti langit-langit drop minimalis. Terdapat transisi yang halus antara area luar dan dalam, melalui permainan teras berundak dan komposisi tanaman rendah yang memperkuat kesan tertata namun tidak kaku.

Ritme jendela tinggi dengan aksen gorden krem tidak hanya memperkuat estetika klasik, namun juga menjanjikan cahaya alami yang optimal ke dalam ruang utama. Area entrance yang luas memungkinkan sirkulasi kendaraan tanpa mengganggu kesan megah bangunan utama.

Meski berwajah klasik, bangunan ini tetap mengakomodasi kebutuhan masa kini—baik dari segi fungsionalitas ruang, pencahayaan, hingga penataan privasi. Pendekatan ini mencerminkan keseimbangan antara nostalgia gaya Eropa dengan kebutuhan kontemporer masyarakat urban Indonesia.

Berdiri di atas lahan 206 m² di kawasan padat Way Halim Permai, Bandar Lampung, HI House dirancang dengan kesadaran terhadap arah matahari, batas legal tapak, serta kebutuhan ruang yang efisien dan personal. Posisi kavling di tengah lingkungan pemukiman membuat fasad depan mengambil sikap tertutup, memberi privasi, sekaligus membingkai cahaya dari sisi atas dan samping secara strategis.

Alih-alih mengandalkan void atau atrium besar, pencahayaan alami dikendalikan melalui bukaan vertikal, clerestory tersembunyi, dan ventilasi silang—menjaga kesejukan tanpa kehilangan kesederhanaan bentuk. Komposisi massa dua lantai dibuat padat namun proporsional, menghadirkan keharmonisan antara fungsi dan bentuk.

Zonasi ruang mengikuti narasi hidup: lantai dasar sebagai tempat berkumpul, bekerja, dan menerima; lantai atas sebagai tempat kembali, tenang, dan lebih personal. Setiap ruang terhubung dengan cara yang tidak dramatis, tapi mendalam—mengalir seperti rumah yang tahu ke mana ia mengarah.

HI House bukan rumah yang ingin mengesankan siapa pun dari luar. Tapi bagi yang tinggal di dalamnya, ia terasa cukup, tepat, dan jujur.
