Austrian Embassy in Jakarta - Indonesia
The historical, villa style building fabric surrounding the site is reinterpreted in the horizontal layering of the design. The boundary walls, necessary for security reasons, are arranged in harmony with the existing streetscape; different entrance situations are clearly accentuated. The overall concept also encompasses the outdoor spaces creating a high-quality series of spaces and circulation routes. The building serves as a symbol of Austrian-European building culture.
A clear and functional arrangement makes for concise circulation routes and effortless orientation within the building. The location and design of the conference area allows for a mixture of uses, and offers a high-quality environment for cultural events. The building structure and overall construction concept makes it unproblematic to alter room sizes and sequences, and adapt the building to changing needs.
