Designed by renowned Indonesian architect Budi Lim, it is the result of a long-gestating idea carefully conceptualised, cleverly executed and continuously improved. Lim first met the homeowner in 1994, when he designed the bank he worked for. The pair became fast friends, and the banker told Lim that he would like him to create his home one day. He called Lim in 2015 and said he had found the perfect site. The plot was one-third of a 1.5-hectare patch of land owned by a late prominent Indonesian politician and engineer, who had parcelled it into three parts for himself and his wife, and their two sons. His plan…

Initially, she catered to home-cooks only, but from just fresh pasta, Noodle Lab took things to the next level by developing meal kits, with pasta and produce, complete with step by step ingredients, helping people elevate an average dinner at…
