A year of listening, feeling, and quietly shaping homes across the city.
Jakarta is never one taste, one rhythm, one idea of home. Over the past year, AEDI Design Bureau (AEDI DB) has shaped three distinctive show units in Jakarta, beginning with Savyavasa in Dharmawangsa, followed by Two Sudirman Private Residences in Sudirman, and most recently Adriya Residences in Pantai Indah Kapuk. These projects are not statements of opulence. They are intimate studies of people, place, and the quiet evolution of urban living—reflecting AEDI DB’s commitment to human-centered interior design in Jakarta.
For Eko Priharseno, Founder & Design Director of AEDI DB, interior design is never about what merely looks luxurious. After more than 20 years of professional practice in interior design Jakarta, he believes that a show unit must speak in the soft language of everyday life—how people move through space, how generations overlap, how materials are felt long before they are consciously noticed.
Designing show units is not about repeating a formula. It is about reading the city with empathy, understanding how each district breathes, and translating that rhythm into a space that feels naturally inhabited.”
Reading Jakarta Through Space
From the cultivated calm of Dharmawangsa, to the kinetic pace of Sudirman, and now the emerging residential culture of Pantai Indah Kapuk, every project by AEDI DB is approached as a new dialogue. Jakarta does not offer a single lifestyle. It offers many.
Defining a New Market at Adriya Residences, Pantai Indah Kapuk
What determines the direction of a space? The show unit at Adriya Residences marks AEDI Design Bureau’s exploration of a new interior language for the young-generation market in North Jakarta. With full creative latitude granted by the developer, the studio worked in close alignment with the project’s refined brand positioning. The process unfolded as a deeply collaborative effort—shaping a design direction intended not for the moment, but for endurance.
Light as Architecture
Light is treated as a defining architectural element. A custom Barrisol ceiling, developed and imported specifically for this project, is conceived as a continuous luminous plane rather than a conventional lighting fixture. Printed with a washi paper–inspired texture, the membrane diffuses light evenly throughout the interior, softening glare and creating a controlled ambient glow. Subtle linear lighting articulates the ceiling surface, lending a contemporary cadence while preserving calm.
Material as Memory
Material decisions follow the same discipline. They are never incidental. Classical marquetry joinery is reinterpreted into functional display elements and integrated directly into the architecture. The detailing remains restrained and purposeful, allowing craftsmanship to quietly support everyday use. Through this approach, material becomes a defining—yet unspoken—presence within the space. The show unit comes together through careful technical calibration, where spatial flow, unique materiality are orchestrated for real life. This was made possible through close collaboration with LaFlo, featuring furniture by Edra and Knoll.
