In this week’s episode, we explore a timeless home designed by architect Agatha Carolina, co-founder of Bitte Design Studio, and Ditho Sitompoel. Their dream house, conceptualized over nine years of marriage, reflects a midcentury aesthetic, inspired by a love for vintage furniture and classic cars.
The exterior showcases a combination of gradient brick colours, angled breaks for air circulation, and a wooden deck leading to the entrance. The facade reveals a compressed and released philosophy inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, playing with varying ceiling heights to create a sense of intimacy.


Entering the semi-public area, used for both leisure and work, sliding doors connect to a terrace above the living room and pantry.

Iconic midcentury furniture pieces, such as the Jessica chair and George Nelson lamp, adorn the space, embodying a deep appreciation for design.

The house boasts an inner courtyard with a towering banyan tree, providing a sanctuary-like feel.

The main building houses the master bedroom on the ground floor, featuring a camouflage door and a master bathroom with skylights overlooking greenery.


The second floor, dedicated to the couple’s children, comprises two bedrooms, a study area, and a piano for their daughters.


A spacious balcony at the back anticipates future gatherings with friends as the children grow.

The journey of creating this family home is a testament to the personal connection with space. Balancing indoor and outdoor living, the house evolves with the family, offering a unique blend of design and functionality.
As always, special thanks to the homeowners for opening up their home to us.
