POROUS NARROW SHOPHOUSE SERIES | PALEMBANG | INDONESIA

In Palembang, house often only have a very narrow witdh for about 4-5m with houses on the sides.
With no chance to create openings on sides, in the middle part of house often get too dark during the day due to lack of natural light that can come through the house.
Front and back facade are maximized with big openings where all the bedrooms all located to let the light in during the day.
In the middle of the house, there's a big void from ground floor to the roof to ensure light can penetrate through.
