MVRDV has unveiled the new design for a new landmark tower, Peruri 88, in Jakarta, Indonesia. According to Winy Maas, MVRDV co-founder, 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. The design is a collaboration of MVRDV (overall design), The Jerde Partnership (commercial podium), and ARUP, together with developer Wijaya Karya – Benhil Property. More details about the project come from MVRDV after the jump.
Project Description from MVRDV:
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, Imax theatres, and an outdoor amphitheater. 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 Peruri, is located at Jl. Palatehan 4 Jakarta, a block formerly used as 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, rises from a platform with a park, swimming pool, and the marriage house. On top of the hotel, a panoramic restaurant and viewing platform complete the structure on the 88th floor. 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 center to the parks of the mid-rise.
