Glodok is considered as the biggest Chinatown in Indonesia and one of the most highly dense areas of Jakarta since colonial times. The project resides on an irregular narrow lot of land between the dense of urban fabric, surrounded by residential, commercial programs and a busy day market at the entrance of the lot. How do we create an urban volume and release the stress of density at the same time?

We proposed permeable volumes which channels wind current from north or south. Using the basic typology of residential, where living space and corridors can act as the wind device. We composed tilting units on the northern side to the south side units. Doing such allows wind to circulate and channels through every program of the building, while maintains a good circulatory to flow of macro wind to the environment.

The project undergo with a collaboration with YKK AP Indonesia from the early stage of design to conjure the massing intention.
