HOMANDALA
Passive Homes Rooted in Local Wisdom

Passive houses designed for the climate, inspired by local traditions, imagined for the world.

At HOMANDALA, we reinvent sustainable architecture with a simple principle: the intelligence of climate and vernacular know-how are the best allies of modern comfort.

Our studio, based in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Bali, Flores (Indonesia) and Paris (France), designs passive homes that combine bioclimatism, bespoke design, and smart low-tech solutions. We operate in Indonesia, Europe, and internationally—wherever climate demands an adapted, sober, and resilient architectural response.

Our Passive House Design Philosophy

At HOMANDALA, passive homes are not standardized blueprints—they are contextual responses rooted in vernacular architecture and modern engineering.

Cross
ventilation

Natural airflow systems that enhance comfort and reduce energy consumption.

Locally sourced
bio-based materials

Sustainable resources from the region, supporting both the environment and local communities.

Optimal solar orientation

Intelligent positioning to maximize natural light and minimize heat gain

Passive humidity management

Strategies that maintain healthy indoor air quality without mechanical intervention.

Heritage-inspired climate devices

Features such as wind towers, patios, and ventilated roofs, drawing on proven techniques from around the world.

Smart Technology Integration

Seamless incorporation of home automation and monitoring systems to optimize energy use, security, and convenience—enhancing the Smart Living experience.

Our design process includes thermal simulations and environmental
analysis to optimize performance and comfort. HOMANDALA builds in harmony with nature, not against it.

Passive House Design Innovations

Passive House : Design High-performance homes tailored to local climate, site orientation, and cultural context—maximizing comfort and minimizing energy use.
Wind tower ventilation systems: Encourage vertical air flow and reduce HVAC dependency
Bioclimatic open plans: Maximize cross-ventilation and daylighting
Breathable building envelopes: Regulate indoor climate with local porous materials

HOMANDALA follows a “low-tech when possible, high-tech when needed” philosophy for energy-efficient home design, prioritizing natural ventilation, daylighting, and local materials to minimize energy use and environmental impact, while integrating advanced technologies only where essential for comfort, performance, or sustainability.
