Yet where some people might see setbacks to development, PDW Architects\u2014one of the country\u2019s most questing design practices\u2014sees something more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Jakarta, there was never any real city planning. It\u2019s a bit of a mess, which means it\u2019s hard to navigate existing buildings,\u201d says Mohammad Archica Danisworo, design director at PDW Architects. \u201cThat\u2019s the challenge, but it\u2019s also an opportunity to have a substantial impact. We see the existing buildings and lack of infrastructure to create something unique.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Jakarta races to improve its mass transit system and overall quality of life, Danisworo believes he and his team can make a difference in the city for generations to come. From Hong Kong to Beijing, many of Asia\u2019s most significant metropolises have undergone startling transformations in relatively little time. These building booms are thrilling for ambitious architects and urban planners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe urban fabrics are so intertwined in a developing city like Jakarta. It aspires to be the next Tokyo or Shanghai or New York,\u201d Danisworo says. \u201cIt still has a lot of energy because it\u2019s still not built up yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He believes in channelling that momentum to create something great. \u201cFrom that urban energy, we try to create a very enriching environment, not just for our clients, but for the city residents as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When helping to lay the groundwork for Indonesia\u2019s future, Danisworo is careful to steer clear of tired tropes and clich\u00e9s. Ever since he was a small child sketching out rocket ships and futuristic cities in his notepads, he\u2019s been drawn to designs that stand out from the milieu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of design philosophy, deep down, since I was little, I always tried to be anti-mainstream, a little against the grain,\u201d he says. \u201cI always tried to find something unique in every aspect of life and ways to differentiate myself from others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That maverick approach to design has served Danisworo well throughout his career. While many architectural firms in developing markets strive to emulate pre-existing successful designs in other cities, PDW Architects strives to bring a touch of its distinctive flair to every single client brief.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a client selects you, they don\u2019t expect a cookie-cutter approach,\u201d Danisworo says. \u201cThey expect something unique.\u201d Since the firm\u2019s launch nearly two decades ago, PDW Architects has built up a reputation for providing exactly that. Part of that stems from the fact that Danisworo encourages his team to think outside the box.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhenever there\u2019s a new brief coming in, we just throw wild ideas around and see what sticks,\u201d he says. \u201cThey don\u2019t always work, but it gets the creative juices flowing and we can show this process to the client later. To me, design is about the process, not just the product.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He acknowledges somewhat ruefully that it would be much easier to stick to tired clich\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In terms of design philosophy, deep down, since I was little, I always tried to be anti-mainstream, a little against the grain. I always tried to find something unique in every aspect of life and ways to differentiate myself from others<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like self-torture in a way,\u201d he says with a laugh. \u201cWe could take the easy way out and take that cookie-cutter approach, but there\u2019s no fun in that, there\u2019s no challenge in that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At PDW Architects, Danisworo is particularly conscious of both his and the firm\u2019s Indonesian heritage. With more than 700 distinct languages and thousands of years of history, the islands have incomparable cultural depth. Danisworo draws on architectural techniques and knowledge from around the world, but he is especially proud to represent his homeland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndonesia has over 17,000 islands. We always try to extract something out of that rich culture and diversity,\u201d he says. This decision to draw on Indonesia\u2019s heritage has profound practical implications, particularly when it comes to sustainability. \u201cI think as an Indonesian architect, we have that in our genes to always be mindful of nature and create designs that are sustainable and conserve energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Danisworo\u2019s ancestors may not have had the phrase \u201cpassive design,\u201d but thanks to centuries\u2019 worth of generational wisdom, they developed building techniques that helped keep their homes cool without the use of electricity. From building windows away from the powerful, mid-afternoon sunlight to encouraging natural airflows and ventilation, there are all sorts of tried-and-tested techniques that PDW Architects relies on today to create greener buildings for the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ancestors were always taking to nature in dictating how they lived and adapted to their surroundings,\u201d he says. \u201cDeep inside, our culture has always had this knack of living well in nature. I think from that simple design there are a lot of deep practical solutions about how to live in a tropical setting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it is that combination of experimental, unconventional thinking combined with meticulous research and a reverence for time-tested traditions that makes PDW Architects\u2019 designs stand out. As Indonesia reimagines what the future of its cities looks like, it\u2019s big ideas and bold approaches like these that will reshape its skylines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gran Rubina<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32027\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gran-Rubina-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gran-Rubina-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gran-Rubina-2-400x336.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gran-Rubina-2-600x504.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gran-Rubina-2-768x645.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gran-Rubina-2-1536x1291.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gran-Rubina-2-2048x1721.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cJakarta has a lot of glass-box buildings. They\u2019re efficient, but you see them on every corner. We wanted to add our distinctive touch,\u201d says Danisworo. To make Gran Rubina pop against a sea of black, white, and grey concrete, they enrobed the building in an architectural skin. \u201cThis building has a different personality depending on which direction you look at it from, since no two sides are the same.\u201d Not only is the architectural skin visually striking, but it also helps reduce sunlight during the hottest parts of the day, reducing the need for air-conditioning. \u201cWe\u2019re quite proud of this building,\u201d he adds. \u201cWe were able to create a unique look, pattern, and shape while conserving energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Federal Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Federal-Oil-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Federal-Oil-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Federal-Oil-1-400x243.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Federal-Oil-1-600x364.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Federal-Oil-1-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Federal-Oil-1-1536x933.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Federal-Oil-1-2048x1244.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This project for Federal Oil represents a change of pace from the commercial high-rises that PDW Architects often designs. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to limit ourselves. This was a change of scale, which we appreciated very much,\u201d says Danisworo. Several subtle decorative touches enliven the overall design here. \u201cThe texture that you see on the wall is the petrol oil symbol that we extracted and turned into a random pattern.\u201d Because all the windows face north and south, the building naturally reduces heat intake during the day. \u201cThere are also slits of light from the top of the atrium, so we\u2019re deflecting the heat, but we\u2019re allowing light to enter directly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>JHL Solitaire Hotel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/JHL-Solitaire-Hotel-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/JHL-Solitaire-Hotel-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/JHL-Solitaire-Hotel-400x397.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/JHL-Solitaire-Hotel-600x596.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/JHL-Solitaire-Hotel-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/JHL-Solitaire-Hotel-768x763.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/JHL-Solitaire-Hotel-1536x1525.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While most clients err on the budget-conscious side, this one was more interested in creating something truly unique than in keeping costs low. \u201cThis client said to me, \u2018Build me something new, something fresh, no limits,\u2019\u201d Danisworo remembers. The resulting circular hotel is enveloped in an architectural skin. \u201cIt\u2019s now one of the top-performing hotels in the area,\u201d says Danisworo. \u201cThe iconic shape helps promote this property. It\u2019s easily identifiable and it creates good word of mouth. Good design can create good business for the client.

We want to break down that stigma and increase walkability. So we raised the building on the ground floor to make it open.\u201d Public artwork and restaurants encourage gatherings in the space. \u201cWe created parks where there were no parks before, so the benefit to the city will be considerable once it\u2019s completed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Masterplan for MRTJ Duka Atas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32030\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/0q1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/0q1.jpg 1931w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/0q1-400x296.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/0q1-600x444.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/0q1-768x568.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/0q1-1536x1136.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cJakarta was very late to this mass transportation party,\u201d Danisworo says. \u201cThe Duka Atas is quite important because it\u2019s the largest transportation hub in Jakarta and it also happens to be the place where different modes of transportation meet.\u201d By creating pedestrian walkways, this masterplan offered the opportunity to completely revolutionise one of the most crucial connecting points in the developing city. Danisworo hopes that his work will help realise the vision of a more liveable Jakarta in the future. \u201cIt\u2019s something to provide a more integrated design approach to that area, which didn\u2019t exist before,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s baby steps, but I\u2019m looking forward to Jakarta having a mass transportation system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tanjung Uma Masterplan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32032\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MasterplanEkamasBatamV03_FinalRev3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MasterplanEkamasBatamV03_FinalRev3-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MasterplanEkamasBatamV03_FinalRev3-400x192.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MasterplanEkamasBatamV03_FinalRev3-600x288.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MasterplanEkamasBatamV03_FinalRev3-768x369.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MasterplanEkamasBatamV03_FinalRev3-1536x737.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MasterplanEkamasBatamV03_FinalRev3-2048x983.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Developers have high hopes for Batam Island, a Special economic zone hoping to entice Singaporean investors with its beautiful coastline and comparatively affordable property prices. \u201cIt\u2019s great for Singaporeans who want a quick getaway or even another home because our real estate prices are cheaper,\u201d Danisworo explains. To make sure the space lives up to its potential, however, it needed a more focused vision. \u201cIt was sprawling without a proper city design,\u201d he says. \u201cThe developer here wanted to create a landmark that would be visible from Singapore.\u201d PDW Architects proposed using a small natural island as the focal point of essentially a new township, complete with a state-of-the-art harbour to welcome arrivals from the Lion City.<\/p>\n<p><em>The original version of this article appeared in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/propertygurupropertyreport\/docs\/pr_no.174\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Issue No. 174<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/propertygurupropertyreport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PropertyGuru Property Report Magazine<\/a>.
