Situated in the rural area of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Bias House is built specially to house a young family with their children. For their brief, the owners wanted a house with lots of space while maintaining their privacy.
Hence, the house stood out in a nice plot of land surrounded by nature elements while keeping privacy with white, tall walls and interesting facade.

The facade of the house is similar to a box design with clean lines along the edges. White colour is widely painted on the main exterior and surrounding walls to keep it simple and minimalistic.
