South Quarter, Jakarta, Indonesia
Highly sustainable mixed use complex in Indonesia presented by Atkins Global
The concept design of this mixed-use project by Atkins took inspiration from natural Indonesia and elements of architecture are reduced to minimal shapes and geometry creating harmony between buildings and landscape in a natural environment. The organic layout blends forms into each other producing a fluid combination of internal and external spaces promoting a healthy living and working environment. Sustainability was central throughout the design approach, as was the development’s contribution to South Jakarta’s public realm.
