The House · approximately 440 sqm

One address. Several good reasons to come in.

The ground floor is active and adaptable. The mezzanine is calm and enclosed. Between them: places to work, make, move, shoot, gather, browse, and drink coffee.

A house that can show its work.

Gawang Diwa brings florals, resin, and materials in progress into the everyday life of the ground floor. The concept store adds work by local makers and collaborators. Neither is treated as a decorative corner.
