Abstract
This project revolutionizes urban living in East Jakarta by employing an innovative housing approach using modular containers. Strategically placed near vital amenities, the development introduces two housing types, Type A and Type B, catering to different resident configurations. The inclusion of a plugin system boosts user mobility and facilitates an efficient, organic building process within the Kampong Container. Drawing inspiration from Indonesian culture, communal spaces on each floor cultivate a sense of community, encouraging self-economy and self-energy. Prioritizing sustainability and cultural values, the project addresses Jakarta’s housing requirements while reshaping contemporary living standards.

Introduction#
An innovative housing project in East Jakarta repurposes a vacant plot initially designated for high-rises. Strategically located near TransJakarta bus stops, mosques, and schools, the site leverages Jakarta’s container accessibility. Challenges include ergonomic adjustments and affordable housing demand. Opportunities involve surplus containers, Gen Y and Z entering the market, and addressing wealth gaps. The project aims to meet Jakarta’s housing needs by capitalizing on container advantages and embracing the city’s unique characteristics.
