Simple furniture and modern art by Sunaryo, Srihadi Soedarsono, and Dolorosa Sinagais blend beautifully with the clean architectural lines of the living/ dining area adjoining the checkered foyer. Old wooden door and window railings grace the walls.

The functions of the house oscillate between the two volumes. To the north of the entrance on the first floor is the main open-plan living and dining space, its walls painted a soft yellow to match the color of the wall at the entrance side of the foyer. The living and dining room, together with an adjoining kitchen and pantry, faces the garden at the back of the house.

Originating from the dining area, the staircase leads to the second floor of the front volume, where a sitting room and guest room are placed. The bedroom is treated as another box that projects out of the front volume, like a drawer that has been slightly pulled out. The sitting room, surrounded by tall windows on two sides, forms a well-lit sunroom. A ramp connects the sitting room to the main bedroom of the house, which occupies the entire back volume. A staircase inside the room leads to an interior mezzanine which is used as a study. The windows extend the full double height of the bedroom, flooding it with light during the day and providing views to the garden at the back.

Throughout the house, simple, elegant furniture is offset by colorful modern paintings and accessories.
