Design details
Batavia PIK’s design is inspired by the city of Batavia (now Jakarta), which served as a hub for commerce during the Dutch colonial era and was known as the Queen of the East. The concepts of maritime trade, travel and journey were used to design the complex, along with inspiration from buildings of the colonial era.
The complex features a wide entrance plaza, colonial-style windows and arches that seamlessly blend with rattan weaves and local building materials to create a tropical vernacular design. It is characterised by its crisscrossed bridges and expansive esplanades that flank both sides of the canal.
Natural ventilation has been incorporated into the complex through strategically placed openings.
