Second Stage #6
Exactly about six weeks ago the renovation work on the most Southern part of Saskava House was torn down to barely anything into partially erected wall: going from left to right picture. Notice around midpoint there was a preparation work to provide access to building material stock above the concrete roof. The concrete stair is about 3m width.
We could now store all those building stock inventory above, making the available yard on level zero a lot cleaner and most importantly would not bother any guests. Complaint from our guests could be curbed to minimum. Furthermore it will allow a small meeting area on rear porch where currently being used to store meeting tables. Bandung at this time around has entered the hot season which leaves comparatively cooler evening than the wet season, rendering the city as more desirable. Inherently this is one of the attractions for many corporate to hold a meeting in this town which consequently drives demand for more and more meeting room in Bandung.
The concrete roof is also extended to interconnect with the main building protecting from exposed weather for the convenience of both guest as well as guest’s service. At the very moment the few days old roof i
s in the process of curing, thus it is still being supported by temporary 
cluster of beam. Once this structure is cured, the main water reservoir will be shifted on top of it from the back yard.
This will further enhance the uncluttered look into more pleasant view from back porch. Most importantly there will be more gravitation force impinging on water to increase a tad of water pressure for the required domestic purposes, quite a precious energy saving here! All in all the old premises would have a touch of modern civil structure technology as well as new level of comfort.
We do expect the new revived building would be into finishing stage as soon as possible, but both budget and concrete curing constraints could translate into another 6 months period as yet. Then it would be the turn of those West Southern part which were already mentioned need to be salvaged, that is the remaining 30% out of the rear most of the premises. Hopefully the 1930s brick-walls there would not crumble yet already, we are adamant to make any use of this piece of history. Any part of salvageable heritage would be invaluable additional points toward the whole Saskava House!
