This church was designed by offering a new typology for a tropical batak church with a high and large roof which useful to anticipate the climate and environmental conditions. In general, the typology of ethnic communities Batak church is kind of like a church building in the German countryside (derived from the missionaries who spread Christianity in Batak communities), which has a high roof and bell tower on the front side. This typology is now applied in the whole HKBP church building in Indonesia, both in urban and rural areas, nor cool highland and humid seaside areas.
The church design typology tries to criticize it and make design based on ‘dialogue’ with the environment and the Batak communities. The churches in the city generally has a complex space which is suitable for heterogeneous and pluralistic society in the city. The church is expected to be a good public space for the community without compromising privacy that society. Architecture of rumah panggung shaped like a ship. This is the main idea of the relationship of the main building and courtyard. Outer space and garden areas were designed to be a space of social interaction, such as in the traditional village of Batak Toba.
