Background

Mr. Ardi, a homeowner in Jakarta, Indonesia, was looking for a solution to enhance his balcony terrace. Living in a tropical climate, he wanted a pavilion that could withstand the humidity and occasional heavy rain while offering a stylish space for relaxation and entertaining guests. After exploring various options online, he decided to go with a custom-designed aluminum pavilion. His goal was to create a cool, comfortable area that would provide shade and allow him to enjoy his terrace year-round.

Design and Features

Material: The pavilion is constructed from high-quality aluminum, selected for its durability, lightweight nature, and resistance to rust and corrosion. These properties make aluminum ideal for Indonesia’s tropical climate, which experiences high humidity and frequent rain. The powder-coated finish gives the pavilion a sleek and modern look while ensuring it withstands the weather without fading.

Size and Structure: Measuring 3m x 3m with a height of 2.8m, the pavilion perfectly fits Mr. Ardi’s balcony terrace without overwhelming the space. The design features a clean, contemporary style with a gently sloping roof for efficient rainwater drainage. The open-frame structure maintains unobstructed views of the surrounding cityscape, while carefully positioned columns ensure stability.

Functionality: The pavilion is designed to be a multifunctional space for various activities:

Outdoor Lounge Area: Mr. Ardi set up a cozy outdoor seating arrangement under the pavilion, featuring a comfortable sofa, a couple of armchairs, and a coffee table. This area provides a peaceful retreat for reading or enjoying the fresh air while being shielded from the direct sun and rain.

Dining Space: The pavilion also doubles as a dining area, with a small dining table that can accommodate his family and friends. It offers an ideal spot for outdoor meals, providing comfort and protection from both the sun and rain, thanks to its durable and weather-resistant design.

Green Space: The open design allows for natural airflow, which is perfect for Mr. Ardi’s collection of potted plants and vertical garden. The pavilion contributes to his vision of creating a green oasis in the city, adding a touch of nature to the modern space.

Installation and Customization: The pavilion was professionally designed and custom-built to fit Mr. Ardi’s specific balcony dimensions. It was pre-assembled in parts and delivered to the site for easy installation. The installation team handled the entire assembly, including the integration of LED lighting for evening use. The entire process took just a few days, and Mr. Ardi was able to start enjoying his new outdoor space almost immediately.

User Experience

Mr. Ardi is thrilled with the performance of his new aluminum pavilion. He appreciates the modern look, which complements his urban terrace, and the pavilion’s ability to endure the high humidity and rain. During the hot season, the pavilion provides a cool, shaded space, and in the rainy season, it keeps the terrace dry while still offering a beautiful view of the city skyline.

Most importantly, the pavilion has become the go-to spot for Mr. Ardi’s family gatherings. Whether enjoying a quiet afternoon or hosting friends, the pavilion has become a central part of his outdoor living space. It has transformed the balcony terrace into a comfortable and inviting area, perfect for relaxation and socializing.
