KUALA LUMPUR: Home is where the heart is and for popular Indonesian actor Nicholas Schubring Saputra, his love seems to lie in a warm, nature-inspired and minimalist abode.
Judging from his Instagram account, most of the 34-year-old Jakarta-born artiste’s photos feature beautiful vistas of landscapes, natural scenery and rural environments.
So it’s no surprise then that the hunky Ada Apa dengan Cinta? star, who is of German and Javanese descent, would look to a natural, yet minimalist modern look for his residence.
Naming it Tanah Teduh (loosely translated as shady land), the actor, fondly known as Nico, chose Indonesian architect Andra Matin to realise his dream domicile in Jakarta.
Andra is apparently known for his clean and modern creations, which feature detailed designs of space utilisation that reflects and is sensitive to its environment.
Photos of the talented heartthrob who has acted in over 20 Indonesian films, feature a cosy and homely feel.
The minimalist exterior is painted white but surrounded by lush greenery, while the various rooms of the interior are well-lit by natural lighting from big glass windows.
Areas like the kitchen and living area feature simple and elegant look, but at the same time exude an understated luxury.
The serene vibe of his well-ventilated sanctuary is also exemplified by the extensive use of warm-coloured wood panels for certain walls and steps of the staircase.
It’s easy to see why his female fans go gaga over him. Nico’s simply a calm and natural guy based on his homey habitat.
