COFFER House，印尼雅加达粗野中的诗意

Interpreting the symbiosis of Brutalism and the poetry of nature from an artistic perspective, COFFER House, constructed with concrete and steel as its framework and gridded floor slabs as its rhythm, transforms the owners desire for durability and economy into a living space that combines structural strength with emotional warmth within its 782-square-meter space—allowing the cold architecture to cultivate a soft sense of lifes poetry.

用艺术视角解读粗野主义与自然诗意的共生，COFFER House 以混凝土、钢材为骨，网格楼板为韵，在 782 平方米的场域中，将业主对 “耐用与经济” 的需求，转化为兼具结构力量与情感温度的居住空间 —— 让冷峻建筑里生长出柔软的生活诗意。

When Gets Architects took on this project, the clients core brief was clear and pragmatic: a durable, economical home that could provide a warm and comfortable home. Rather than masking its functional essence with ornate ornamentation, the designers opted for an exposed construction approach, allowing the raw texture of the materials to dominate the space. From the street, COFFER House resembles a modern fortress. The ground floor is wrapped in an existing solid wall, covered in creeping vines. The verdant foliage contrasts sharply with the rough concrete base. Rather than demolishing this wall, it was preserved and transformed into a vertical garden, mitigating the tropical suns intense heat while also infusing the stark building with a breath of nature. Running your fingertips over the wall, you can feel the grainy concrete against the smooth texture of the vines. This tactile collision of hard and soft is the designs original expression of the balance between practicality and poetry.

当 Gets Architects 接手这个项目时，业主的核心诉求清晰而务实：一座耐用、经济，又能承载日常温情的家。设计师没有用华丽装饰掩盖功能本质，而是选择以 “暴露建构” 为语言，让材料的原始质感成为空间的主角。从街道望去，COFFER House 如一座现代堡垒，底层被原有实墙包裹，墙面爬满藤蔓植物，翠绿的枝叶与粗糙的混凝土基座形成鲜明对比 —— 这面墙没有被拆除，而是被保留并改造为 “垂直花园”，既降低了热带阳光对室内的炙烤，又为冷峻的建筑注入了自然的呼吸。指尖抚过墙面，能触到混凝土的颗粒感与藤蔓的柔滑，这种 “硬与软” 的触感碰撞，恰是设计对 “实用与诗意” 平衡的最初表达。

The spatial narrative lies in the rhythm of the gridded floor and its play of light and shadow. At the entrance, a horizontal waffle slab extends from the ramp to the backyard pool terrace, forming a column-free, suspended canopy. During the day, sunlight filters through the gaps in the grid, casting a dappled, geometric play of light and shadow on the ground. As the sun moves, the light and shadows dance like musical notes, imbuing the monotonous concrete floor with rhythm. At night, light filters through the grid, creating a soft halo that illuminates the path home and dispels the buildings heaviness. Even more ingenious, this gridded floor is more than just a decorative element; its a growing structure—the designers have reserved openings for future skylights, preserving the purity of the current form while leaving room for spatial evolution. Passing through the grid canopy, the entrance ramp slowly rises, replacing the original steep stairs. Stepping on the non-slip concrete surface, there is no rush or crampedness, only gradual and calmness. The planters on both sides are full of lush vegetation, and the moist greenery and the cold concrete form a sensory buffer, making the transition from street to residence full of ritual.

空间的叙事性藏在 “网格楼板” 的韵律与 “光影游戏” 中。入口处，水平展开的华夫格楼板（waffle slab）从坡道一直延伸至后院泳池露台，形成一道无柱的悬浮 canopy（雨棚）。白日里，阳光透过网格缝隙洒下，在地面投下斑驳的几何光影，随着太阳移动，光影如跳动的音符，为单调的混凝土地面注入节奏；夜晚，灯光从网格下透出，柔和的光晕照亮归家的路，消解了建筑的厚重感。更巧妙的是，这层网格楼板不仅是装饰，更是 “可生长” 的结构 —— 设计师预留了未来加装天窗的接口，既保持了当下形态的纯粹，又为空间演变留下可能。穿过网格雨棚，入口坡道缓缓向上，取代了原本陡峭的楼梯，脚步踏在防滑混凝土面上，没有急促的局促，只有循序渐进的从容，两侧的种植箱里草木繁盛，湿润的绿意与混凝土的冷硬形成感官缓冲，让 “从街道到居所” 的过渡充满仪式感。

The design of the functional spaces deeply integrates practical needs with emotional experience. The ground floor is designated as a utility area, with a garage and equipment room neatly arranged. Yet, thanks to the plant-covered walls, it feels less cold. Inside, the space unfolds in a rhythm of compression and release. The narrow, low entryway deliberately limits light, directing the eye to the moringa tree in the central courtyard. This vibrant green serves as an emotional anchor within the austere space, instantly relieving the restlessness of the outside world. Beyond the courtyard, the corridor unfolds along a horizontal axis. On one side, a mirrored pool reflects the linear skylight in the ceiling. Light filtering through the skylight filters onto the pool, creating a play of shimmering light and shadow, imbuing the walkway with a poetic flow. On the other side, a double-height space opens up. A slender staircase leads to the second floor. Large fixed glass windows frame the dry landscape garden and moringa tree into a dynamic canvas, allowing a constant sense of nature even from within.

功能空间的设计，将 “实用需求” 与 “情感体验” 深度绑定。底层被规划为实用区，车库、设备间有序排布，却因爬满植物的围墙而不显冰冷；步入室内，空间以 “压缩与释放” 的节奏展开：狭窄低矮的玄关刻意限制光线，引导视线聚焦于中央庭院里的辣木树 —— 那抹鲜活的绿，是冷峻空间里的 “情感锚点”，让人瞬间卸下外界的浮躁。转过庭院，走廊沿横轴展开，一侧是镜面水池，水波倒映着天花板的线性天窗，光线透过天窗洒在水池上，波光与光影交织，让行走的动线充满诗意；另一侧，双层高空间豁然开朗，纤细的楼梯通向二层，大尺寸固定玻璃窗将枯山水庭院与辣木树框成一幅 “动态画卷”，哪怕在室内活动，也能时刻感知自然的变化。

While compact, the second-floor workspace reflects the designers commitment to both focus and transparency. Facing the pool and backyard, large windows allow for ample natural light. While working, one can gaze upon the rambutan and frangipani trees in the courtyard, their lush tropical greenery alleviating the fatigue of work. A cantilevered steel grating balcony delicately pierces the street-facing facade, allowing one to gaze out onto the street while appreciating the bustling atmosphere of the outside world without being disturbed by the hustle and bustle. The transparency of the steel grating creates an airy illusion of suspended space, creating a dialogue between light and heaviness and contrasting with the thick concrete beneath. This introverted building also provides an outlet for breathing outwards.

二层的工作区虽紧凑，却藏着设计师对 “专注与通透” 的考量：空间朝向泳池与后院，大面积玻璃窗引入充足自然光，伏案工作时，抬眼便能望见院中的红毛丹树、鸡蛋花树，热带绿植的繁茂消解了工作的疲惫；悬挑出的钢格板阳台，轻盈地 “刺破” 临街立面，站在这里眺望街道，既能感知外界的烟火气，又不会被喧嚣打扰 —— 钢格板的通透感让阳台仿佛悬浮在空中，与底层厚重的混凝土形成 “轻与重” 的对话，也为内向的建筑保留了一处 “向外呼吸” 的出口。

The master suite is a gentle haven amidst the cold. Surrounded by a water feature, the morning sunlight filters through the glass windows, shimmering on the waters surface. The light and shadows cast across the concrete walls, softening the harsh textures. The bathroom connects to the bedroom through a panoramic glass wall, where the bathtub and basin are sculpturally integrated into the space. Free of extraneous ornamentation, they emerge elegantly bathed in natural light. The walk-in closet is concealed behind the wall, ensuring storage without disrupting the overall spatial flow. Here, residents can wake to the sound of water in the morning light and fall asleep to the shadows of the trees in the courtyard at night. The rugged materials, far from shielding from the warmth of life, become even more relatable thanks to the integration of natural elements.

主卧套房是 “冷峻中的温柔秘境”。房间被水景环绕，清晨阳光透过玻璃窗，在水面折射出粼粼波光，光影漫过混凝土墙面，让冷硬的材质有了柔和的肌理；浴室采用全景玻璃墙与卧室相连，浴缸与台盆如雕塑般嵌入空间，没有多余装饰，却因自然光的滋养而显得优雅；步入式衣帽间隐藏在墙面之后，既保证了收纳功能，又不破坏空间的整体性。在这里，业主既能在晨光中伴着水声醒来，也能在夜晚望着庭院的树影入眠 —— 粗野的材质没有隔绝生活的温度，反而因自然元素的融入，变得愈发贴近人心。

The design of COFFER House is essentially a profound resonance between the clients needs and architectural aesthetics. Gets Architects avoided interpreting Brutalism as a cold symbol. Instead, they addressed the clients pragmatic needs for durability and affordability. Using exposed structures, raw materials, and a thriving design, they created a home that is powerful yet not cold, poetic yet not ostentatious. Here, every concrete texture, every grid of light and shadow, and every plants growth speaks to the idea that practicality and poetry are not mutually exclusive. Beneath the rugged exterior lies a genuine respect for life, offering residents both a sturdy shelter and a glimpse into the poetic beauty of nature amidst the hustle and bustle of the tropical city.

COFFER House 的设计，本质上是 “业主需求与建筑美学” 的深度共鸣。Gets Architects 没有将粗野主义演绎成冰冷的符号，而是从业主 “耐用、经济” 的务实需求出发，用暴露的结构、原始的材质、可生长的设计，构建出一座 “有力量却不冰冷，有诗意却不浮夸” 的家。在这里，每一处混凝土的肌理、每一道网格的光影、每一株植物的生长，都在诉说着 “实用与诗意并非对立”—— 粗野的建筑外壳下，包裹的是对生活最本真的尊重，让居住者在热带都市的喧嚣中，既能拥有坚固的庇护，又能触摸到自然的诗意。
