As children, the tropical jungles and muddy rice paddies were our most cherished playgrounds. Climbing palm trees, searching for snails in the rice fields, and sliding down hilly slopes on banana leaves fostered a deep inner connection between humans and nature.

Trees, in particular, played an integral role in our childhood, creating precious memories and stories. Whether it was picking fresh fruits from our garden or discovering birds nesting in the branches, trees held a special place in our hearts. This connection taught us to respect nature, and we continue to honor it by incorporating trees into our designs, as seen in Rumah Haruku.

Visual Production:

At Haruku, nature has laid a path between the trees where the main house sits parallel to the contour lines—gently hidden within the landscape.

Part of life in the tropics is being surrounded by elements of nature. Gardens grow, trees provide shade, rain drips from the edges of the roof, and wind moves through spaces. As a result, buildings follow nature’s direction and become part of the landscape.

The new cottage, on the other hand, protrudes into the landscape between the coconut and cempaka trees. Breaking the previous parallel line, Rumah Haruku now extends into the landscape, which was once only observable.
