There are 4 main objectives in the design brief of this Jakarta project-- firstly, to tell the story of the client’s role in integrating Indonesia’s economy with digital technology; secondly, to inspire staff to ‘think big’; thirdly, to celebrate Indonesian identity in the context of global citizenship and lastly, to increase spontaneous collaboration amongst employees.

We partnered with conceptual thinkers Grey Canopy and local architects PTI to deliver this project in a premium office tower in SCBD. The design response is experimental and bold-- in the reception area a giant salendang, made from a curling roll of mild steel sheet perforated in a batik pattern, dances through the volume of the space, connecting the roof terrace, indoor reception and cafe. In the work area, collaborations pods, both standing and sunken, provide spaces for informal and spontaneous meetings.
