Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to reflectively explore minimalist architecture as an architecture that is driven by the reduction-based design method. The discussion aims to reframe the design processes and methods of minimalist architecture as informed by field observation. The phenomenon of applying a minimalist architectural approach has become a trend in small-scale housing in Indonesia lately. In the country, the small-scale residential design processes take place in different contexts and are faced with various limitations, from resources, budgets, land size, materials, and so on. The study will frame this discussion around exploring the reductive design method as a way of responding to these limitations. Informed by design strategies from the modern architecture movement, the study was conducted by observing reduction strategies in eight small-scale domestic design which was published and well-narrated in various media. The study findings demonstrate that the reduction does not only exist in the visual aspect of the design and construction process. It also exist in numerous other design elements, such as materials, forms, spaces, and ornamentation, as a strategic response towards the limitations of various resources.

Abstract

This study aims to reflect and expand the notion of modularity in architectural design methods. The discussion about modular architecture is certainly familiar across architectural discourse; where its universality has been repeatedly challenged by the post-modern movement. The study aims to unpack and rethink the method and significance of modularity, not only as a means of repetition but as a contextual design response. The study generate reflection towards two lodge architecture design projects. The architecture of lodge provides complexities with regard to various programmatic needs, temporal occupation, quick construction processes, and often deep connection to the surrounding environment. This study examines four reflective concepts which expand the idea and method of modularity in architecture. First, the roof modules in lodge architecture promotes efficient spatial programs. Secondly, the use of modularity allows parallel operation of the building and the construction process. Thirdly, modularity enables construction of architecture as parts constructing the whole, creating connection between spatial scales. Fourth, modularity constructs the inside and outside experience, providing connection with environmental context. This study offers a new perspective on repositioning and expanding modularity, not only as a means of repetition but also as a form of contextual design thinking.

Abstract

This paper proposes a transformative spatial design strategy within the context of Small Office/Home Office (SOHO), a dwelling type that merges live and work functions. Responding to the challenges of limited urban land and evolving work-life patterns, the proposed design introduces spatial configurations that adapt to multiple domestic and professional needs. Using a qualitative research-through-design methodology, the study explores how architectural elements can support hybrid inhabitation. The design framework focuses on three interrelated concepts: adaptability as a form of spatial and modular negotiation; temporality as the integration of time into spatial logic; and flexibility, enabled through sliding walls and transformable furniture. These frameworks are then tested through scenario-based design iterations that visualise spatial transitions across time. Findings suggest that SOHO typologies can be reimagined to support the integration of living and working, offering responsive environments that accommodate shifting the rhythms of use. By embedding modularity and temporal logic into spatial organisation, the project contributes to the discourse on architectural versatility and proposes a framework for future-oriented urban living.
