Two rotating towers, with a building footprint of 28,200sq.m (303,500sq.ft), designed to capture and enjoy the stunning views while straddling the dense mangrove forests of Jakarta, is a collaborative project from a group of Indonesian architects and designers.
The Agung Sedayu Center public access building, created by Agung Mahaputra, Andika Priya Utama, Arief Aditya Putra, Dely Hamzah, Nidia Safiana, and Rahadi Utomo, is also engineered to maximize the use of natural light while minimizing electric air conditioning. By creating a circular corridor snaking around each building, the barrier acts as an insulator between the buildings and the workplaces, resulting in a natural barrier from the sun’s heat and humidity. The rotating towers also follow the sun; ensuring natural light use is maximized during the day.
The Mangrove Towers are only accessible by bike and/or on foot, and will offer a mix of retail and commercial facilities, with the roof floor designed to offer access to the magnificent views of the forest.
