De Residence Pangandaran is a set of 24 family terraced houses in Java, Indonesia. Behind their design is the young Czech architect Erik Petrus, who has a typical strong author's style. He perceives the study of a place as a key parameter - whether it is setting it in context or studying the entire culture.
An interview with young Czech architect Erik Petrus reveals his unique approach to architecture, which combines work with spatial atmosphere, geometry, and emotions. Erik is inspired by Baroque architecture and exotic cultures, especially Indonesia, where he has completed several significant projects.
The young Czech architect Erik Petrus designed a complex of 24 family terraced houses on the Indonesian island of Java, which also included a musholla - an Islamic sacred building.
Since 2017, he has been running his own architectural practice - Erik Petrus Architects. For many years he worked with the world-famous architect Eva Jiricna. In addition to the Czech Republic, he designs buildings in Indonesia.
Musholla. It is an Islamic sacred building, called "musholla", which is used for the five daily obligatory prayers and the recitation of the Koran. Musholla can take two forms. Either in the form of a separate room inside the buildings. For example, in public institutions, airports, family houses and the like, or as a separate building.
