Ever since the days of ancient Rome, apartment buildings with an atrium were popular. Translated from Latin, this word means a spacious room with high ceilings. In ancient Roman buildings they were used mainly for recreation and entertainment and were located in the center of the house or near the main entrance. Depending on the wealth and status of the owner of the house, the atrium had winter gardens, fountains, guest and dining areas.
Home atrium / design features of the atrium house
Modern architects often resort to such a constructive element as the atrium to give their creation unique and stylish features. If we consider the architectural styles that are most suitable for the use of the atrium, then it should be noted modernism, cubism, or a combination of these two styles.
The presented house, located in an exclusive Indonesian residential area with stunning views of the city of Bandung, has a spacious and open plan. The residential complex is designed for comfortable living of a large family and for the reception of numerous guests and relatives.
The house is located on the ring road, where on the upper contour the building looks two-story, and on the side with a lower contour, five floors are visible. Panoramic front windows open breathtaking views of the adjacent natural landscape, the structural elements of the building create a cozy patio with parking for cars.
The cubic plain outlines of the house do not prevent it from being a tourist attraction among ordinary suburban buildings thanks to the multi-level structure and cantilever solutions of the upper floors.
Atrium inside house / spatial solutions for interior with atrium
Simple geometric shapes on the outside hide a comfortable and unconventional interior space centered around the atrium.
A stylized green area in the middle of the house serves as a central place for relaxation and meditation. A wooden fence is at the same time an element of the interior, a way of zoning space and comfortable benches for relaxation.
A few steps above the decorative conservatory is a recreation and reception area. Continuous glazing visually continues the natural green corner outside the house and gives the impression of a unity of the external landscape and interior rooms.
The original landscaping of the interior, which resonates with the design decision of the atrium for the choice of plants, details and design elements, continues the general stylistic line in the interior.
A total of 10 bedrooms with 3 spacious open areas, with a comfortable kitchen, dining room and all the necessary utility rooms located on several floors make this house with an atrium very pleasant for a large family.
