LOUNGE
This project is located on the 35th floor of AXA Tower, Kuningan, and involves designing an interior lounge for a trading company. The lounge serves as a welcoming space for potential investors coming in to conduct transactions. The goal was to create an environment that is both comfortable and cozy, making it suitable for both serious discussions and more casual conversations, ultimately aiming to make clients feel so at ease that they’re more inclined to invest.
LOUNGE
The lounge was envisioned as a place that encourages conversation, with a dim, bar-like atmosphere. The client requested a dark, warm ambiance with a touch of luxury, all while keeping the budget as efficient as possible.
LOUNGE
The lounge is divided into three main areas: the corridor, the central lounge area that consist of 2A as “regular seating” & 2B as “meeting seating”, and the pantry
The corridor serves as a transitional space from the outside to the lounge, offering a sense of privacy with a separator made from MDF laser-cut panels finished in gold paint. Along the corridor, LED lights are subtly embedded in the skirting, using "Monostar" products, which also illuminate the boundary between the walls and the ceiling with aluminum drip rails. This corridor also doubles as a gallery for displaying the company’s awards and achievements.
LOUNGE
The central area functions as the main meeting space, designed for conversation, discussion, and relaxation. Near the windows, a circular table with a TV is placed for meetings that require presentations, doubling as a workspace when needed. Adjacent to this is the lounge area, complete with a pantry. The pantry includes a wine chiller for clients who enjoy a glass of whiskey during meetings, as well as shelves for beer, glasses, and decorative items, with the added functionality of a coffee-making station
LOUNGE
The pantry is tucked away in a secluded corner, equipped with a four-door refrigerator, a dispenser, and a microwave for heating food.
As for the loose furniture, due to budget constraints, all pieces—armchairs, sofas, dining tables, coffee tables, stools, console tables, and bar tables were sourced from Dekoruma. Despite the budget limits, the selection aimed to maintain the desired aesthetic and comfort level.

WORK OFFICE 04
DESCRIPTION
This project is an open-space office design that includes a receptionist area, large and small meeting rooms, open workspaces for employees, director’s offices, and manager’s rooms. The design adopts an industrial concept, enhanced with contrasting cheerful colors to create a balanced environment that is both structured and energetic. The layout emphasizes visual openness, smooth circulation, and a dynamic working atmosphere.
The reception area consists of a custom desk finished in rust-patterned HPL, similar to the door surfaces within the same space. The back wall uses 3D wall panels with concealed LED strip lighting. The ceiling is constructed from modular plywood panels with repeated geometric patterns. Two waiting chairs are placed in front of a frosted glass partition, which separates the lobby from two small meeting rooms. The doors provide direct access to both the meeting rooms and the main working area.
The right image shows the small meeting room located behind the frosted glass partition adjacent to the reception area. The room features a round meeting table, four swivel chairs, a wall-mounted smart TV, and two wall panels made of painted glass that function as writable surfaces. In the left image, the door at the end of the corridor leads to the main meeting room, while the door behind the reception desk provides access to the main working area.
This is the main meeting room designed for large group discussions and presentations. A long central table is positioned under a membrane light, which serves as the primary lighting source and defines the central ceiling axis. The membrane light also acts as a visual divider between the meeting area and the corridor ceiling. The room features fullheight windows for natural light, a presentation screen, and a glass writing board. Wall and ceiling surfaces are finished with HPL or laminates equivalent such as from KD+ Laminates and AICA or TACO Ultimate
The room layout is oriented with full-height windows equipped with horizontal blinds to control natural light and maintain privacy from the roadside view. The presentation screen is wall-mounted and positioned for optimal visibility from all seats. Below the screen, built-in cabinetry provides storage for meeting equipment and accessories. The room connects directly to the reception corridor on one side, and main working area on the other side.
This main area functions as the open workspace for ten staff members. It features a triangular ceiling with a 2:3 proportion and curved transitions at each corner. Indirect lighting is integrated along the center axis and one extended edge of the ceiling to enhance ambient illumination. Additional lighting is embedded within the storage cabinets for visual emphasis and functional support. The manager’s and director’s rooms are enclosed with glass partitions, allowing spatial separation while maintaining transparency.F
The corridor features a long overhead installation combining pink and bluepainted modular panels. These elements form a gridded visual layer under the ceiling, creating a spatial boundary that separates the circulation path from the working area.
The glass partition encloses a combined manager and secretary space, maintaining openness while ensuring functional division
This open workspace is arranged with two rows of linear desks placed back-toback. Along the back wall, modular storage cabinets are configured to form the letters S-A-L, representing the company name Surya Anugerah Lestari. The cabinets combine open niches and closed units for functional storage. A dedicated printing zone is located beneath a yellow tackable wall panel, which serves as a display surface for hanging notes, documents, or schedules.
The manager room combined with a shared working area for the secretary and finance staff. The two zones are visually connected through a full-height glass partition. The manager’s area features a custom desk with integrated shelves and storage finished in wood veneer and dark matte laminate. The back panel includes indirect lighting to highlight display niches
LG COMPETITION
DESCRIPTION
This project was purposely designed to participate as a participant in the LG design interior competition in 2023. Unfortunately, due to a few factors that unexpectedly happened at that time, this project is being left that I'm not be able to submit this project on the deadline.
The main challenge of this design is that the layout of this project is quite small, but required to include all LG products that have been specified. In addition, the colors of the LG products that we must include in the design are quite colorful and contrasting. So, the right design approach is needed in terms of choosing colors, materials, furniture shapes, ceilings, and room atmosphere to create a harmonious situation so that harmony between the tiny room and this LG product can blend.
At the culmination of the project, I endeavored to integrate the color scheme of existing LG electronic items into the design. Due to the limited available space, minimalist themes were adopted, with the dining table taking on a circular form to accommodate the small area. To ensure the circular shape of the table didn't appear isolated, curved accents were incorporated into the openings of several doors.
This project is located in the Kebayoran area, where I undertook the design of a living and dining room for a small apartment. The limited space posed challenges, particularly with the presence of multiple protruding ceiling beams. Additionally, the use of central air conditioning introduced further design restrictions, adding to the complexity of the project
The modern minimalist theme was chosen for this design. Utilizing a flat ceiling with subtle indirect ligting, accentuated with crisp lines, serves to conceal the existing beams while minimizing major design alterations due to various existing condition limitation. A dark color scheme with orange accents is selected to put some accent in this modern minimalist design
APARTEMENT
The apartment unit features an open-plan layout that integrates the kitchen, dining, and living areas into a compact yet functional space. The kitchen is positioned along the entry corridor, with built-in cabinetry and a linear worktop layout. A round dining table is placed adjacent to the living area, which is arranged facing a media wall with storage shelving. Floor finishes use wood-textured tiles throughout, while lighting is recessed into the ceiling with accent strips. The layout prioritizes efficient circulation and natural light access through full-height windows at the balcony edge.

TANATAP MERUYA
RENDER PROJECT
This project was rendered specifically for the Kunkun Visual Interior Enscape Render Challenge. Originally designed by Rad+Ar Architect, it has been brought to life as ‘Tanatap Coffee – Meruya’ in West Jakarta. For this challenge, I created two scenes using Enscape as the render engine: one with a cold ambiance, capturing the intensity of a heavy downpour outside, and another with a warm, cozy atmosphere that emerges as the rain subsides, leaving droplets on the window panes.
