Currently under construction in the heart of Jakarta, the Sequis Centre Tower is designed as a reinterpretation of the city’s typical glass tower. It will feature ample amounts of office space, along with restaurants, health facilities, retail space, and more. From the architect: Situated in the heart of the Jakarta Capital Region and adjacent to the existing Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex, the new Sudirman CBD has become one of city’s most important new urban developments. The design of the Sequis Centre Tower, which is derived from its site’s environmental, cultural and social patterns, is a reinterpretation of the typical Jakarta office tower, as well as a new urban paradigm for the district. As a response to Jakarta’s conventional allglass rectilinear office building, the project, in the spirit of the local Banyan tree, “organically rises from the ground as a series of finely scaled elements, culminating in a richly detailed and shaded tower above” in the words of KPF Design Principal Robert Whitlock, AIA. The tower is comprised of multiple programs that complement one another, as well as the surrounding community, including office space, executive zones, trading floors, boutique retail, restaurants, conference centers, heath facilities, and concealed parking that fully supports the project. In response to the diverse program, the building’s massing “recomposes an extruded tower into four bundled and deflected supertubes that, in the spirit of the local landscape, emerge naturally from the site,” explains Senior Designer and KPF Director Jeffrey Kenoff, AIA. “These volumes generate unique office types, inherently increase the vertical presence of the tower, and create greater structural stability in an active seismic zone.” At the top of the tower, the tubes vary in height to form multiple grand skygardens overlooking the city, while at the podium they extend outward to support larger office floors and increase pedestrian porosity through the site. In contrast to the standard Jakarta CBD model, in which traffic and parking govern pedestrian connectivity, the tower’s vehicular infrastructure is submerged and onsite traffic circulation is located below ground. This configuration frees up the ground plane for green area and pedestrian circulation where adjacent sites are linked by a densely landscaped pedestrian street, which also mends the seam between the new Sequis Centre Tower and the existing Sequis Centre. Adds Kenoff, “The parking deck hovers above the public space, facilitating porosity and active program at several pedestrian levels.” The hovering deck not only eliminates blank walls from pedestrian zones, it also increases building security through transparency and use—a significant challenge for an office building in Jakarta. Cantilevered over the pedestrian path at grade, the deck forms an outdoor public room shielded from the intense equatorial sun and seasonal rain. Lastly, the roof of the deck connects to inner public spaces, forming an elevated park that expands the public, World 31 DEC 2013 by Karissa Rosenfield Office Buildings Offices Skyscrapers Indonesia Jakarta Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) KPF 17 Like Tweet 30 0 125 31843 POSTS 391274 COMMENTS SEARCH ARCHDAILY Home Projects News Articles Interviews Software Venice Biennale More Materials CATALOG
