Peruri 88: MVRDV-Jerde-Arup reveal 360.000m2 green mix use project in Jakarta, Indonesia
(Jakarta, November 19th, 2012) An international design team made up of MVRDV of Rotterdam (overall design), The Jerde Partnership (commercial podium) of Los Angeles, and ARUP Dublin, together with developer Wijaya Karya ? Benhil Property, have collaborated to create Peruri 88 ? a new landmark icon for Jakarta. Peruri 88 will be a vertical city in one building combining Jakarta´s need for more green spaces with the need for densification. The tower is a 400 meter tall mix use project with retail, offices, housing, a luxury hotel, four levels of parking, a wedding house, a mosque, ima x theatres and an outdoor amphitheatre. The team presented the plans to city and site owner Peruri as part of a developer?s bid competition for the prominent site at Jl. Palatehan 4 Jakarta.
Peruri 88 combines Jakarta´s need for green space with Jakarta´s need for higher densities whilst respecting the typologies of the current urban fabric. The site, which is owned by the Peruri, is located at Jl. Palatehan 4 Jakarta, a block formerly used as the Mint which sits right next to a future metro station.
The mix use project offers a great variety of office and housing typologies, from large office surfaces to living/working units, from lofts to townhouses, from terraced houses to patio living. Each of these stacked urban blocks comes with a semi-public roof park, an abundance of gardens, playgrounds, spas, gym?s, outdoor restaurants and swimming pools available to the inhabitants and office employees. The tall trees on these decks will provide extra shade whilst the height of the parks allows for a cooling breeze.The high rise, a luxury hotel from the 44th floor to the 86th floor, r ises from a platform with park, swimming pool and the marriage house. On top of the hotel a panoramic restaurant and viewing platform complete the structure at the 88th floor.
“Peruri 88 is vertical Jakarta, it represents a new, denser, social, green mini-city ? a monument to the development of Jakarta as a modern icon literally raised from its own city fabric,? says Winy Maas, MVRDV co-founder.
The commercial podium which is located from levels B2 to the 7th floor is designed by Jerde Partnership with MVRDV. Its most characteristic feature is the central plaza, sheltered by the stacked volumes of the mid-rise it offers multiple outdoor layers of restaurants and shadow and natural ventilation. A series of escalators connects the shopping and retail centre to the parks of the mid-rise.
The Peruri 88 commercial podium reflects the city?s historic islands with reflective bodies of water and landscape traversing the public street levels, while integrating a sunken garden plaza. ?Our inspiration for the commercial podium and public spaces was Java?s natural setting — lush jungle and stone surrounded by expansive ocean,? says David Rogers, FAIA, Jerde Design Director.
The buildings structure is with only five cores less complex than visually apparent. Four traditional constructed tall towers rise up among which bridging floors will be constructed. Arup signs for the efficient and financially viable structure.
A number of international hotel, retail and apartment operators have shown interest in the building and if the team wins construction will start swiftly.
