Sitting on a housing cluster in one corner of Greater Jakarta, Compartment House showcases a unique example of how a residence is transformed into a mixed-use space. Designed and owned by Studio Sae’s principal, the house has seen multiple development and renovation since 2013 before the latest major revamp happened in 2017. Since then, there are at least three main functions carried by this house—living, working and interacting, as three connected compartments.

Two years ago, when MRT Jakarta and many of the now-opened public spaces in the city had not yet existed, the idea of hanging out and strolling in some parks were deemed peculiar. With most of the public parks in Jakarta being gated, rarely maintained and poorly lit in the evening, parks were not the place of choice for people to spend their time. Parks, like those surrounding Monumen Nasional, were only popular on weekends or holidays, and people preferred to be in an air-conditioned mall, whiling their time away.
