PROJECT DETAILS: THE DESIGN OF THE EMBASSY IS INSPIRED FROM THE VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE FOUND IN INDONESIA. IT HAS DIFFERENT MASSES THAT ARE COVERED WITH DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOUVERS OR SCREENS, WHICH CREATES A SENSE OF SECURITY AND PLAYFUL LIGHT & SHADOWS ON THE ELEVATIONS.
THE PODIUM IS DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE A STRONG BASE FOR THE ELEVATED MASSES, AND IT’S TOPPED WITH A ROOF GARDEN THAT CAN BE USED BY THE STAFF WHEN NEEDED.
IN ADDITION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, THE LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS WERE CHOSEN TO REPRESENT INDONESIA AS WELL. A LOT OF TREES AND SHRUBS WERE IMPORTED DIRECTLY FROM INDONESIA, AND SOME WATER FEATURES ARE ADDED TO CREATE A BITTER FEEL OF THE PLACE.
