The office building Agung Sedayu Center is designed by Rotterdam based KuiperCompagnons and it will be located in Jakarta. The project is inspired by Indonesian tradition culture, it will be a sustainable and contemporary building. Its form will be inspired from the Chins’s sign “yin and yang”: besides a central core with elevator and staircases two buildings will twist and rotate outwards step-by-step. The buildings have also common floors from the ground to the 4th level, these include 6 parking floors which 3 of it are underground, and an integrated garden.
The concept is dictated by nature: due to the form and details of the building the sun is avoided from the facade; natural ventilation has a large use, reducing mechanical cooling; using a simple system the rainwater is collected and reused; on the horizontal roof are installed solar panels; the building will benefit of a geothermal heat pump. On the roof will be arranged a terrace, the proper location for relaxation admiring impressive views.
The shape of the building can have two interpretations: the place were everything comes together and the Indonesian handicrafts. Agung Sedayu Center will be located under the flight path of Soekarno Hatta International Airport Jakarta and it could be a landmark of the city.
