TOTO Indonesia HQ
Indonesia
Challenge in the developing Jakarta TOTO Indonesia HQ was constructed in the center of Jakarta, the midst of the intense light and noise of the rapidly growing city.
Our objective of this project was “to create a place reminiscent of abundant everyday-life experiences produced by clear water.” The “light from water reflecting the city” at the entrance gives an impression of TOTO’s corporate identity color, blue. The “light from flowing water” is expressed on the escalator wal ls that connect showroom floors, and the “light from a quiet pond” in the showrooms. TOTO Indonesia is not an overseas branch of the Japanese company TOTO. It is a joint venture between TOTO and a local enterprise, and all design decisions were made in Indonesia.By patiently implementing a robust and flexible concept, our designs connected the different cultures of Indonesia and Japan, the different building technologies and materials, and different minds of the client and contractors.
The GDP of Indonesia is demonstrating rapid economic growth and is predicted to be the fourth largest in the world in 2050, overtaking Japan, the current fourth largest, which will drop to seventh.
We believe that this project experience will connect Japan and Jakarta, leading to innovations through intercultural exchanges.
