Dancer House, also known as Kampono House, graces a 319 sqm curved corner plot in The Green Precinct, Bumi Serpong Damai, Tangerang, testing two hypotheses: Can a house maximize scenic potential and community through bioclimatic design? How can concrete and steel create a sculptural, sustainable home? Facing west and south, it transforms the site’s challenges into a fluid, dance-like form.
The facade, a flowing concrete roof with curved edges, paired with steel railings and glass, opens north-south for ventilation while shading western heat. Local artisans hand-crafted the concrete, merging precision with warmth, building on Alfa Omega’s structural experiments. The open-plan ground floor—living, dining, and family areas—spills onto a terrace, a courtyard-like space for gatherings, embracing the precinct’s greenery. Skylights and high ceilings enhance light and air, minimizing cooling needs. The landscape, minimally altered, weaves native plants and a small lawn, complementing the house’s sculptural silhouette.
Upstairs, three bedrooms and a study balance privacy with openness. Passive cooling and local materials ensure sustainability, while the roof’s curves evoke a dancer’s grace. Showcased for its innovative form, Dancer House proves a challenging site can inspire a tropical sanctuary for family and community.
