when facing the need to expand their offices, airmas asri architects thought about generating a comfortable and serene working environment in a building located in the middle of the bustling city center of jakarta. the result was the application of green architecture that gave the spaces an air of ease and tranquility. a total of 1.300 square meters, both horizontal and vertical, were covered in greeneries, creating a micro climate inside the building. this, combined with skylights and solid void planes create thermal control, air circulation and allow optimum daylight to flow into rooms.

the planning was based on the needs of the office expansion, so overall there was not a master plan, but an addition of buildings over the years. this led to the creating of in-between spaces where users have a place to gather and socialize, becoming an oasis in the middle of jakarta’s crowded environment.
