Modular, mobile, and co-created, it moves with them, grows with them, and uplifts their families with creche, workshops, and safe spaces.A home that respects culture, empowers women, and builds community.

Nilai city is a manifestation of the Javanese history, culture, and identity. Designed to empower, sustain, and stay afloat, it is truly the city that feels like "home". Exploring a realm of interchange between modernism and vernacular, Nilai is the perfect blend of the two worlds.

Pocket Home

“In search of lost spaces” Architectural activism against non-places. Home is a concept before it goes to be a shelter for humans. This concept makes borders and defines the metaphysical presence of humans with its environment. In this competition, our team tried to redefine these boundaries and understand how urban life has shifted these borders over time

An Urban Infill: Echo-Morphism

All cities have different dynamics in terms of their urban plans, streets, and even the functions of each area.In the development process of the Echo-morphism, we search for new methods that can regain those abandoned in-between spaces to the city by using the reflections of each town and culture itself.
