The
specialty of this building is the shape and the location that unusual
on the shoreline. To display a shipping company, the architects explore
and work as an artist in creating a sculpture. Futuristic building
concept with heavy-light consideration on the building shape, it is an
initial idea of the ship space that landed on the rocks beach.

Generally,
when people build functional building such as offices are usually not
so concerned with aesthetic. Moreover, the location is adjacent to the
sea. Because the owner appreciate the artwork, then the architects
proposed a unique design. Actually this building is like a lighthouse
that easily recognizable from long distance. The sailors will know the
location to be addressed, so they will not be stray because this
building can be a clue. Moreover, many ships will be docked for loading
and unloading.

This
office was not large only 300 m². The company is involved in
shipbuilding, stone, and sand. “I try to combine these three into
corporate identity,” said the architects. Ship shape is not inspired
ship shape today but future-oriented, futuristic, like a spacecraft.
Because the company is involved in rock and sand sector, then shape
taken as meteorite. The corporate identity is very clear. The building
shape blend with the nature. Environment around the building is
longitudinal rocks beach. The building context wanted to be a clue and
landmark.

Shape
on the top using double construction with the outer skin of glass fiber
reinforced cement (GRC) material. GRC is designed and printed one by
one because each panels has different size. Meanwhile inside, the wall
is simple. This system is used because the natural condition in Location
very hot, exactly at the beach. To reduce the heat, then used double
skin, so hot inside has been reduced.

Large
building shape at the top makes under building getting shadow so if the
heat is not felt when the window opened. Heat from the top has been
avoided with double skin so it does not sink to the bottom. Then the
room felt comfortable and when the wind was blowing fresh enough then at
the bottom is cool, although not using AC. The building concept is
designed eco-friendly, because space is not so great, then as divider
used of sandblast glass partition. Spaces in the middle are not dark
because the sunlight penetrating to the middle of building. Transparency
and contemporary modernity are also visible. Materials used looks
light. All materials are anti-corrosion.

The
building part that made unique is building facade on the top that blend
with the roof. Irregular roof is an architect’s innovative thinking in
the design exploration along with precision and careful calculation in
design. The entire building is like a big rock in the stretch of rocky
breakwaters.

Space
inside is designed with room function adjusted with predetermined
shape. Iridescence on the interior gives cool nuance into the building.
The colors are calm and cool, like gray and white, combined with the
cheerful colors like light green and blue light, making space in the
building felt more cheerful. Harmonious combination between exterior and
interior of the building is the thinking result and solution that
produce an architecture work that explorative and innovative. On the top
painted with colors of gray brown like a rock so low maintenance and
will never looks dirty. When this building was completed and operated,
the existing buildings in the neighborhood began to clean themselves.
This is a positive social impact of the presence of this building.
Existing office buildings in the vicinity began to repainting, the roof
addition, or the new building addition.
