Site Area: 90,53 ha

Period: August - December 2021

Indonesia is building a new capital city from the scratch. It is a huge challenge but also a rare opportunity to build an ideal city with the best practice standards of urban design. This project is in the phase of making urban design guidelines for one of the earliest precincts to be built, which is the residential precinct for government officials and their families. The aim is to guide the design and construction of each district, block and parcel will correspond with the ultimate vision of the IKN Nusantara master plan, which is Inclusive, Sustainable, Smart & Resilient Capital City Residential Areas. Thus, the guideline will bring the living transformation of the Indonesian people which focuses on developing quality housing that is inclusive, smart, collaborative, compact and based on the 10-minutes city concept, which also respects the natural condition of the site.

MRT Jakarta Phase 2B

This following project is a unique opportunity to transform the densely populated urban area in North Jakarta to be redeveloped as a new transit-oriented development with the advent of the new MRT line and stations. This project comprises three distinct urban design guidelines for three stations, which are Mangga Dua, Marina Ancol and Ancol Barat Final Station. But, in this portfolio, only one station is featured, which is Ancol Barat which also serves as a train depot. The site is unique because it is a compilation of a former industrial ditrict, dense ‘kampung’, private residential development and also a ‘prime’ waterfront. So the vision of this project is to create a lively, resilient and sustainable seaside transit-oriented development with ample public open space in the waterfront area to reconnect Jakartans with their precious natural surrounding, the Java Sea.

Regional Context Diagram

Key Issues

• Granville is located in the south east of Parramatta. In the recent council amalgamation, the precinct is divided into two councils. The northern part of the railway is included in the City of Parramatta Council, while the Southern part belongs to the Cumberland Council. This becomes a constraint for formulating an integrated plan for the whole precinct because each council has its own plan.

• The location makes Granville the first precinct that is included in the Parramatta Road Corridor Plan.

• There are four major destinations surrounding Granville which could potentially attract people to visit or live in Granville, which are the Parramatta CBD, Sydney Olympic Park, Auburn Botanic Garden and Merryland Town Centre.

Granville has a big problem. It is divided by a major railway, LGA borders and unconnected plans on both sides of the railway. So the brief is to make an integrated precinct with one unifying vision for Granville that balances the future needs for growth and the preservation of local heritage and unique low-rise suburban character of the precinct. The design approach includes urban densification, mixed-use integrated transport oriented development, maintaining fine urban grain, preserving the urban heritage and upgrading the local park into a regional park with greater amenities for a better quality of life.

Lack of Shades

Oxford Street is one of the unique streets in Sydney with distinct characters and charms. One factor that contributes to its liveliness is the mix land use that could generate diversity from the commercial, cultural and residential area. Nevertheless, there are some discernable problems such as vehicle domination, lack of green space and lack of shades to protect people from the weather condition. Therefore, the vision is to enhance the vibrancy and liveliness of the whole Oxford Street by integrating Oxford Street as one ‘Shared Space’, adding more green space area and applying urban art as shades. The shared space may claim the street from vehicle domination to pedestrians which would unite the street as a place and thus make people move around from one part to another more easily. Adding more green space area would enhance the liveliness and aesthetic of the street as well as providing the shades from sun heat. Applying urban art as shades in the squares would also activate it in unfriendly weather condition, thus inviting people to spend more time in this place, rather than just passing by.

Vision Statement

To enhance the vibrancy and liveliness of the whole Oxford Street at the various times of day by these three key objectives:

2. Adding More Green Space Area

1. Integrating the Oxford Street from Crown St. to Comber St. as one ‘Shared Space’

3. Applying Urban Art as Shades

Site Area: 100 ha

Period: January - December 2017

This is a new integrated residential development in the outskirt of Cirebon. This new complex will host subsidized housing as well as commercial housing for middle-class families along with its public facilities. The city of Cirebon is growing and drawing more people from the surroundings. There is a significant demand for landed houses. A progressive developer in Cirebon wants to meet those demands and has an ambitious vision to acquire up to 100 hectares of land to develop a new residential complex with a unique concept. Located just beneath the mountain, the site has challenging contour. There is a grand entry statement at the front to welcome the visitors before they see a stunning farm and hill scenery. The masterplan will be fulfilled by lavish greenery to create a resort ambience.

Project Type: National Competition

Organiser: South Kalimantan Government

Award: 4th Prize

Location: Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Indonesia

Site Area: 904.04 m2

Period: October - December 2017

This is a national competition to design a landmark in the centre of Banjarmasin city that was the location of the old governor office building. This venue is intended to become a new landmark to attract more tourists to the city. The old governor office which sits on the site will be preserved as a heritage building. The site is near the Martapura river which has great potential to be integrated with the design, but a busy street separates the site with the river. In the larger context of Banjarmasin, the city lacks attractive tourism venue, so it is a great potential to design something stunning for the city which will make the citizen proud of their hometown. The design proposes a monumental design concept in a sculptural form of a sleek tower rising from the water 80 meters into the sky. The form symbolises the five historic rivers that formed Banjarmasin in the beginning. A viewing platform in the sky so people will be able to see the city edges as the city grows. This venue will integrate the old governor office as a museum, as well as add a new amphitheatre for cultural performance, a culinary centre, and the biggest urban park in the city. It will be an amazing public space for the people of Banjarmasin.

NODES & LANDMARK

DISTRICT EDGES

This is an urban design project for the revitalisation of a riverbank to create a new urban centre for vibrant public space, thriving commercial area, and centre of art and culture. Urban life in greater Jakarta area is now concentrated mostly in the shopping malls. Consequently, malls are becoming too crowded especially on weekend. This project aims to offer an alternative of a safe and interesting public space for mingling, socialising and trading. In 32 ha area, a masterplan of waterfront complex is designed with a waterfront dining district, landed townhouses, high-rise condominiums, offices, shophouses, luxury houses and a grand convention hotel.

NODES 5

1st SKETCH

The long frontline of the waterfront with identical shophouses can cause boredom and dissorientation. People could have difficulty to locate where they are. To solve this, some nodes are created, which are a Marina, an Amphitheater, a Skateboard Track, a Floating Restaurant, a Pedestrian Circle Walk and a Perfomance Stage.

Marina simplified and refined

Some greeneries are generated in the middle of the plaza based on the pattern line to place some trees as natural shades and some benches for the people to rest

TWISTED LINEAR ARRANGEMENT

The twisted shophouse arrangement intends to respond to the site and surrounding nodes and also serves as visual effect on the joint of the twisted building blocks.

The Skateboard Track is omitted in the second skecth because it blocks view from the shophouses to the river

Standart linear shophouses arrangement

Pedestrian bridge to the mainstreet

Initially the parking lots are planned in front of the shophouses. But, when the arrangement is changed to organic curve, the number of the parking lots decreases because of the irregular form. The solution is making a basement for parking so that the gound floor could be utilized for outdoor cafes

This shophouse block is parted by the pedestrian bridge so it is omitted in the next phase of the draft

The Skateboarding Track is provided again with larger site so there will be more tracks. This place functions as public facilities for youngsters from the neighbourhood to play and socialize

ORGANIC CURVE ARRANGEMENT

The street form corresponds to the organic shophouse arrangement

Stiff linear arrangement will look not resounding the form of the river as the site. So the masterplan is composed in an organic shape. It is intended to be more communicative with its surrounding and smoothly blending with other elements of this masterplan.
