Nested in Jakarta, Indonesia, near a tropical village forest, the Distort House was designed by TWS & Partners. How come that it has these distorted proportions? In the front of the site lays a public park with some old big tropical trees. In response to those advantages, the house’s mass outline is shifted close to the back perimeter line of the site, and then twisted in 15 degree, leaving vast green area in the front. This is a unique way to open a more huge front space striking back as view and open air to the inside. It is a place where the owners can just feel living and being in the middle of natural forest. A smaller living room acts as welcoming area for the family members that can connect them to the upper floor whereas bedrooms are. See more details in the pictures below.
They gave the house a chance to breathe a bit more by leaving a huge living room without walls or even glass.
