The Reverie
Graha Helvetia Medan

Guided by the principles of modern architecture and inspired by local tropical aesthetics, our goal was to create a dwelling that is not only visually stunning but also inherently connected to its environment.

We aimed to use sustainable materials and incorporate green design elements wherever possible, fostering a sense of harmony with nature while providing all the comforts of a luxury home.

Careful planning was crucial in achieving a balance between the modern design, functionality, and the integration of the tropical environment. We focused on creating fluid spaces that allow for natural ventilation and light to permeate the home, and designed the layout to maximize views of the lush surroundings.

Moreover, since the home is located at a rare prestigious location that is surrounded by lush green – we sought a modern tropical mansion that would serve as a luxurious yet comfortable family home, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living while showcasing the beauty of the surrounding tropical landscape.

The main challenge was to ensure that the home remained cool and comfortable in the tropical climate without relying heavily on air conditioning.

To prepare the home for the oncoming climate challenges, we are required to approach the construction with innovative design solutions and careful selection of materials to enhance natural cooling.

Drawing on the concept of ‘tropical modernism’, we envisioned a mansion that combines clean, geometric lines with organic elements drawn from the local environment.

The design incorporates large glass windows and open spaces to blur the boundaries between inside and outside, and uses locally-sourced materials to reflect the tropical setting.

The finished mansion is a testament to the successful marriage of modern design and tropical aesthetics.

With its spacious, light-filled interiors, luxurious amenities, and stunning views, the home provides a tranquil and luxurious retreat while remaining true to its tropical roots.

The use of sustainable materials and design techniques ensures it stays cool and comfortable, proving that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand.
