The brief for this project situated in the high-end shopping district of Jalan Raya Darmo in Surabaya called for a premium luxury condominium block catering to the rising affluent population.
With a choice of two and three bedroom apartments as well as three and three plus one loft and double volume penthouse apartments, One Darmo introduces loft-style living, the first of its kind, to Surabaya.
Since the residences only begin on the eighth floor, all units are guaranteed a panoramic view of the city, elevated from the surrounding low-rise, possibly substandard housing as well as the neighbouring canal.
Its clean elevation with vertical mullions contrast dramatically with the raking columns in the podium that houses four levels of car parking facilities. The randomness of the columns add an interesting sequence as one drives through the entrance.
Separating the podium and the residential component are the recreational facilities housed on the seventh floor. Here residents of the 97 units can enjoy the infinity pool, gymnasium, function room as well as a café whilst appreciating the unobstructed views of the city.
