Description

“Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important, the dynamic of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition. -John Portman”

Information

PS-26 Office

Situated on a corner in midtown Jakarta, PS-26 is an office building which houses four different ventures, built on 1300 sqm site just across railways. The idea is to lift to the main functions of the building to hide the sight of the busy neighborhood and allow natural air and light to pour in by inserting a void open space between two main masses which are covered by brick.

Landscape elements are essential for adding a tropical mood. The preserved existing trees which penetrate the water feature casually act as a buffer against the surrounding urban environment as well as providing a relaxing atmosphere. The plants dangling from the glass roof soften the interior composition.
