AGROPARK

Surrounding by rice fields, the building is like "staccato" in music, a distinct breaks between notes. It becomes "accent on the green." The contrast approach is applied on this project to create the focus object among the greenery surrounding.


The Agropark concept of elevating the main floor on top of the ground is reminiscent of Indonesian grandstand vernacular house called 'rumah panggung'. This vision turns out become a symbolic way to anticipate natural disaster of mud flooding near that area. This project was actually designed before the catastrophe happens as a proof of sustainable architecture.


Tropical sustainability are maintained to maximize shade, cross ventilation, natural green surrounding, absorption by plants and bridge channelling. The indoor comfort can be achieved since the project located on high elevation of the hill side.


The architecture exists as an entity within itself. If there is a theme which links together, it is the integration of music and architecture. The architect's interest as a musician, composer and arranger influence the design process in creating architecture like song compositions. The music is "jazz" and the intention is to address "improvisation" on the architecture. The central conviction is about the power of culture and artistic creativity to enchance the quality of life.
