The design of Andramatin Architect is inspired by the Indonesian vernacular piles, which favor natural ventilation. The ground floor, which is partially excavated up to street level, incorporates a giant pool, a library and services.
The entrance ramp continues to the open floor communal area on the first floor, with its long wooden table and pool, and to the upper bedrooms. There is also an interior spiral staircase. The materials are exposed concrete and ironwood reused from the docks.

Description of project by Andramatin Architect
The AM Residence stands in a modest neighborhood where the vegetation are lavish. There is a strong relationship between the inside of the house and its outside, with the means of bringing nature closer to the residents. The majority of the building is made out of concrete with an exposed finish, and reclaimed ironwood to reduce maintenance. The building’s palette of materials also reinforces the natural prospect of the building, as an architecture object in relation to its natural surrounding.
