Gro-House, designed by Atelier Bertiga in Bekasi, Indonesia, is a compact 76-square-meter home built with the concept of gradual expansion. Initially designed with essential spaces only, the house features a steel frame structure that allows for easy future additions based on the user's budget and needs. The design promotes flexibility and sustainability, using cost-efficient materials like plywood and bitumen, and incorporates cross-ventilation and natural lighting for comfort. Ideal for minimalist lifestyles, Gro-House offers a practical and adaptable housing solution, particularly for younger generations seeking functional living in limited urban spaces.
