GolFN by GeTs Architects features perforated laser-cut aluminium panels

Aluminium is not just another metal anymore. It is one of the industry's most widely used and accepted materials. From technology to architecture, aluminium can be found almost everywhere. The Jakarta-based architecture studio, GeTs Architects has designed a modern home partially covered in perforated laser-cut aluminium panels.

The home, known as "GolFN," is distinguished by its patterned laser-cut screen, which shields inhabitants from glaring sunshine and torrential downpours while simultaneously enabling them to take in views of the nearby golf course and Mount Salak.

The entry to the home is accessible from the right side of the building through an open ramp with a partially transparent laser-cut volume above. Due to the building's east orientation, GeTs Architects integrated vertical and horizontally patterned aluminium shading panels to shade the main entrance from the sun while acting as a rain barrier in Bogor, Indonesia.

The owner chose the property as a place to consider his youth and past experiences in his native Saudi Arabia. The golf course resembles the famous sand dunes in a desert environment; they have a similar mild slope but are painted in various colours.
