A very exciting –to say the least- mixed use luxury building is on the verge of being constructed in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The project, designed by the dutch firm MVRDV along with other consultants, combines an 8 storey commercial podium at the base, with a mix of apartments, hotels and offices, as well as shops, cinemas, a mosque and an amphitheatre accessed by outdoor elevators. A restaurant overlooking the city is placed at the top. Each of the spaces has its own garden roof, playgrounds, swimming pools, etc. which are available to the inhabitants and office employees.

This 88 storey mini city’s main objective is combining Jakarta´s need for more green spaces with the need for densification.
Although the project is up for approval by the local authorities, it’s expected to obtain a green light to be built, hence becoming one of the most interesting buildings ever produced.
