REX House : Renovation and Extension House

REX House — short for Renovation & Extension — is a home reimagined with a respectful eye toward the past and a progressive vision for contemporary living. At its core, the project preserves the soul of the original structure while seamlessly integrating a modern extension. The result is not only greater functionality, but also a deeper, more connected spatial and emotional experience of home. This house was designed for a young couple starting their family — a space that supports them today, and grows with them over time. It’s not just about adding rooms, but about creating a home that feels connected, calm, and ready for the future. The project began with a simple yet powerful ambition — to retain the soul of the old house while enriching it with new spaces that encourage openness, interaction, and natural flow. The design embraces humility and cohesion, avoiding overt dominance over its surroundings. From the street, the home presents itself quietly as a modest single-story dwelling, an impression achieved by gently lowering the front roofline, which lends it visual lightness and allows it to blend seamlessly into the neighborhood. _____________________________________ REX House merupakan singkatan dari Renovation & Extension — adalah rumah yang dirancang ulang dengan memperhatikan karakter lama sekaligus mengadaptasikannya untuk kebutuhan hidup masa kini. Proyek ini menjaga jiwa bangunan asli dengan menambahkan ruang-ruang baru yang terintegrasi secara harmonis, menciptakan rumah yang lebih fungsional, terbuka, dan hangat secara emosional. Tujuan utama perancangan rumah ini adalah mempertahankan esensi rumah lama sambil menambahkan ruang yang membawa nafas baru, mendorong interaksi, keterbukaan, dan alur yang alami. Desainnya mengedepankan kesederhanaan dan kesatuan, berbaur dengan lingkungan sekitar tanpa menonjol berlebihan. Dari jalan, rumah tampil sebagai hunian satu lantai yang ringan berkat penurunan garis atap depan, sehingga menyatu dengan skala lingkungan. _____________________________________ Instagram:   / rasa.architektura   Architect: rasa architektura Photographer: Fernando Gomulya Location: Depok, West Java, Indonesia Contact us : https://tr.ee/8VpBK_qEzR _____________________________________
