The shop house facilities will be refreshed, regenerated from the previous function, namely fashion retail. The design approach elevates the relationship between traditional and modern culture. In fact, now the current generation openly considers traditional values or localities ancient and outdated.

However, some time ago, the oldest retail center in Jakarta, the Sarinah Thamrin Building, underwent a revitalization and brought back history & locality in the capital. This is the starting point for design. “Tenun” or woven fabrics is specifically highlighted because it continues to grow and become popular, especially in the world of fashion and lifestyle, while also contributing to the existence of local culture & economy.

The zoning layout is arranged based on a study of the function of a fashion retail store and the intention of space experience. Visitors are invited to experience a sequence from seeing traditional weaving, towards modern processed weaving, and finally the souvenir shop. Space requirements are regulated according to the openness of space (public, semi-public, semi-private, and private) and the relationship between spaces.
