This mixed-use development in central Senayan incorporates an eight-storey, 120,000sqm shopping podium with three connected hotel, office and residential towers, forming a fully integrated complex for people to work, live and play. At its heart is a monumental civic space, a seven-storey retail atrium where shops and the movements of shoppers can be viewed at every level. Smaller scale design such as a sunken plaza, the first of its kind in Jakarta, counters urban congestion and introduces natural elements like a timber boardwalk and water features to filter noises of the city. Other meaningful features include a massive red high-heeled shoe designed to re-figure a column base supporting an escalator in the main atrium, now a recognisable element in the mall around which people gather. This project was significant in highlighting DP Architects’ context-driven and people-centric design solutions for the Indonesian community.
