Project's description: Located at a calm neighborhood in Central Jakarta, MV Residence main goal is to create a sanctuary in an urban setting. The architecture of the house was designed by Pranala Architect. It focuses on modern brutalism style with expose concrete and an inner-court that separates the semi outdoor pool with the main building.

The interior design tends to set a warmer tone to balance the exterior. The use of wood, metal and textured tiles aimed to create a beautiful contrast with the expose concrete finishing.

It is the heart of the house where the family spent most of their time. The main area is connected to the terrace with a big sliding door opening. It blurred the boundaries between indoor and outdoor, overlooking the inner court with a semi outdoor swimming pool at the background.

The second floor area is connected through a big staircase with wooden louvre skylight. Upon arriving on the second floor, there is a big foyer that is functioned for a study area. Additionally, there are 3 bedrooms, a master bedroom and two kids bedrooms with their own bathrooms.
