RAD+ar punctures arched facade to protect office building from jakarta's humid climate
Briefly

RAD+ar's Sagehaus Office Garden in West Jakarta integrates innovative design features to mitigate the humid heat of the city. This athletic sportswear brand headquarters spans 2,000 square meters, offering flexible workspaces and a rooftop garden gym. The core design element, the Dome for Wind, facilitates airflow while the arched facade minimizes solar gain. By utilizing thick thermal mass, breezeways, and strategic staircases, the building fosters a naturally cool environment, promoting wellness and energy efficiency. The layout features three distinct zones: social spaces, controlled offices, and a recreational rooftop, maintaining functionality without compromising the building's aesthetics.
The building's design incorporates thick thermal mass and large openings to create a comfortable environment without heavy reliance on mechanical cooling systems, emphasizing wellness.
Strategic staircases encourage walking over elevators, and breezeways enhance airflow, showcasing RAD+ar's commitment to energy efficiency and creating a pleasant workspace.
