Red Zone Boarding House is an inspiring apartment building located in Indonesia, designed in 2021 by Ismail Solehudin Architecture.

Description
After we found out that the site having such a small area, located in crowded urban space and will be used for commercial building. We are doubt, is the common typology dorm by using single or double loaded concept are the best design for land effectiveness in our project"
We did a study to compare the general double loaded corridor concept with our concept and the result showed that the common concept is not more effective than what we offer.
Taking over corridor area that used to be human circulation for unit area is our first idea. This idea makes the stair become the only one horizontal and also vertical circulation between every unit. Also, the stairs could be a social space for the residents. So, with the exact same total of units, the concept we offer giving more less floor space area than the common double loaded concept. It proves that our concept is more effective for land effectiveness. This circulation system become another architecture statement than the other dormitory design typology . To make this statement stronger, we used red colour for façade. It is because red is the most intense colour and its wavelength are 630 ? 760 nm, that making red colour instantly grab people?s eyes.
