Redesign of Metro Atom Pasar Baru
Location : Pasar Baru, Central Jakarta
Year : 2023

This project is a redesign for the Metro Atom Pasar Baru building with the project owner being PD
Pasar Jaya. The current condition of the building is not maintained and is not suitable to be used
as a urban tourist destination. The aim of the redesign project is to improve the market’s image
so that it can become an urban tourist destination for Jakarta. The target visitors can come from
residents in the city, outside the city, or foreign tourists. In order to accommodate both shoppers
and tourists, the market redesign must combine the daily market functions and tourism functions.

Design Issue

Pasar Baru was founded in 1820 as the main

commercial area of Weltevreden, New Batavia
(now Jakarta). It holds an important history of
Jakarta and has been a melting pot for vari-
ous ethnic groups, including Chinese, Indian,
Pakistani, Japanese, European and indigenous
people from various regions in Indonesia.

Unfortunately, the growth of the tourism in-

dustry in the Pasar Baru area has seen a de-
cline in the number of visitors compared to
the 1970s to early 2000s. The main problem
originating from external factors is the loss of
the glory of traditional shopping markets such
as Pasar Baru with the development of mod-
ern shopping centers in Jakarta. Apart from
this, there are also internal factors such as in-
adequate market facilities for the comfort and
safety of visitors. This makes visitors prefer a
more adequate place. Therefore, it is neces-
sary for the government and local residents to
immediately take steps to improve Pasar Baru
so that the historical and cultural heritage in it
is not lost and can be preserved.

The Central Jakarta Tourism Agency has made

a plan to develop Pasar Baru as an tourist des-
tination. There are several locations that has
been mentioned as the focus of this plan, one
of which is the Metro Atom Market.

The temporary trading area is used for street vendors and can also be used as a plaza. The pres-
ence of street vendors along pedestrian access is expected to attract visitors to walk from one
point to another. Trade space zoning was designed by considering the similarity of targeted buyer
of each merchant, with wet market located in the north building’s 1st floor and food court located
in 4th floor.

The Twin Student Housing
Location : Cirebon, West Java
Year : 2022
Team : Nina Gabriella Simarmata, Christy Immanuela Roulina, Ketut Dipta Pramana,
Rizni Fisyadina Saragih, Naufal Aprija

The Twin Student Housing is a 4-story residence that functions as a dormitory to accommodate
the housing needs of ITB Cirebon campus students. This project was motivated by the need from
the ITB Cirebon campus for simple flats (rusunawa) for single first year students. The increasingly
high availability and price of residential land in urban areas is also the background for this project
to provide vertical housing that is both comfortable and energy efficient.

The Twin Student Housing building implements the concept of energy efficient buildings through
sun path, embodied energy, and solar radiation analysis. The results of the analysis can be seen in
the orientation of the building which aligns the movement of the sun and wind as well as the use
of horizontal shading devices (louvers) to reduce glare in the room.

This building consists of 4 floors and 2 building masses that embrace each other. The mass con-
figuration of this building was formed in response to the results of the site analysis. Apart from
that, this building also uses wire mesh elements on the facade to add aesthetics to the building.

Energy Efficiency Concept

Embodied Energy Analysis

Based on the graph that has been obtained, the

amount of Embodied Energy (EE) contained in
this building is around 49,734,096.91 MJ. Most
of the EE is in the wall category with coverage
of around 29.5% of the total building EE.

26 Portfolio
Vertical Shading Device

Natural lighting control is implemented by op-

timally entering light through glass openings
with Low E Glass material and equipped with
louvre shading. Sunpath analysis was carried
out to determine the optimal shading angle
relative to the opening orientation, with the
result obtained being a reflection angle of 60
degrees. These shading materials and compo-
nents allow sunlight to enter indirectly and re-
duce the risk of overheating and glare effects in
the room during the day.

Court by the Lake
Location : Pluit Reservoir Park, Pluit, North Jakarta
Year : 2021
Team : Nina Gabriella Simarmata, Marcellinus Savio, Salma Azzahra

The name “Court by the Lake” came from the idea of a basketball court surrounded by a food
court. Considering the importance of exercising during a pandemic, a basketball court was built
to increase the spirit of exercising and replace sports facilities at the project site that had been
damaged. The food court was created with full visibility access overlooking the basketball court to
create placemaking innovations where the atmosphere is more lively and fun to exercise while on
the other hand consumers are entertained from watching basketball games.

Site Analysis

A
ILLEGAL HOUSING
Despite the relocation of residents living in
A illegal housing during the 2013 revitalization,
B until now there are still residents living in the
northern area of the reservoir (area A).

B
RESERVOIR CLEANING AREA
The condition of the northwest reservoir af-
C ter the revitalization has been getting worse
due to the lack of attention from residents
and the presence of illegal housing.

C
PLUIT RESERVOIR PARK
It is the location of Pluit Reservoir Park. The
park has been empty of visitors since before
D the pandemic because the facilities provided
were not maintained, including shops owned
by local residents.

D RESIDENTIAL AREA
The southern end of the park is connected
to the highway and residential areas, with
a portal as a barrier. The southern area has
better view of the reservoir but is far from
the meeting point in the middle of the park.

Green Design and Better
Sanitation
The strategic placement of the
project, the provision of trash
cans, and the addition of vege-
tation elements keep the park
clean. The level of sanitation is
also improved by having clean
public toilets.
Modular Design
Modular massing that can be
dismantled, converted, or add-
ed as needed are a response to
the pandemic situation. Con-
tainer material is used because
of its modular nature and easy
access due to the location not
far from the port.

URBANE Apartment
Location : Bandung, West Java
Year : 2022

URBANE Apartment is an apartment located on Jakarta Street, Bandung. Because the apartment is
located in a dense area and is intended for the middle class residents, the apartment is designed
to maximize the number of room units and the use of the ground floor for commercial areas. The
apartment design is also focused on the effectiveness of utility systems and fire safety systems,
with the facade also designed to meet these needs.

Facade Detail

Limestone facades have many functions for

both aesthetics and safety. On the balcony
side, the canopy part of the facade protects
the balcony from rain and also hides the AC
machine in each unit from outside visuals. The
lower part of the facade on the balcony is a
railing as well as a planter box, where in this
planter box residents are free to plant plants if
they wish. Apart from being an aesthetic func-
tion, the main function of the shape of the fa-
cade and the choice of Limestone material is
Limestone Facade because the facade functions as a fire barrier
in the event of a fire so that the fire does not
spread to the upper floor through the window.

Location : Bandung, West Java
Year : 2021

This building takes a basic shape like the letter G and has a sloping green roof on it. The exis-
tence of this sloping roof accompanied by an elevator makes human circulation in and around
the building able to continue both vertically and horizontally. The client is an alumni of Institut
Teknologi Bandung and this building is located on Ganesha Street, so the shape of the letter G is
used to make the building unique and monumental.
