Description
Summary:Population growth, times changing and lifestyle are some reasons that drive Bandung's citizens at choosing a simple small house as a place to stay. Simple small house, a house that has a maximum size at 70m² became very popular because of the affordable price. Besides the citizen's hype to live in a simple small house, they must find a problem with the limited space. It's proofed by the previous research from Indonesia's ministry of public works and public housing in titled "space motion simulation in a simple house" has a conclusion that simple house is not suitable with a space motion standard. Limited space problem can be solved by using the right way like the space-saving design approach. This research aims to observe how small houses maximizing the space by using the space-saving design criteria and to find out how space-saving design help residents in their activities. Based on the literature review. the space-saving criteria are : (1) Rearrange room, (2) One room into two, (3) Two rooms into one, (4) Efficient storage, (5) Display storage, (6) Clearing space, (7) Freestanding units, (8) Hidden storage, (9) Planning interior fitments, (10) Multifunction furniture (11) Modular or Foldable furniture, (12) Transformable room, (13) Minimalist living, (14) Decluttering, (15) Tiny house movement. The analysis was tested on 16 samples of small simple houses in Bandung by using a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach that conducted a study of culture and groups in natural conditions through observation and interviews. The research used 4 steps of miles and Huberman models to analyze the data with the following step are data reduction, data presentation and also conclusions. The results of this study are, space-saving design criteria found in all samples of small simple houses with a minimum of 2 criteria and a maximum of 7 criteria. Most criteria that founded are the "Transformable room" and the unused criteria are the “Hidden Storage”. Another result Is, rooms inside the small samples of simple houses are not used optimally because they choose to use only one room as a multipurpose room. Due the limited space, simple small house residents willing to expand their space in the future. Through the results of this study, the application of the concept of space-saving design is expected to be a recommendation for the design of simple small houses in the future. The Application of the concept of space-saving design needs to be considered to achieve a better quality of life for residents.
