The strong historical background makes PG Colomadu (Colomadu Sugar Cane Mill) plants in Karanganyar, Central Java, a cultural heritage. After stopping operation for about two decades, the plant was abandoned, and the building was degraded since there were no industrial activities. This prompted Kementrian BUMN (the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises) to revitalize the building by rebranding it to be “De Tjolomadoe”.

Nowadays, cafes have become a part of the everyday for almost everyone. Apart from gathering and eating, it is a place to indulge in social media activities or just to take a break from one’s daily routine. In a city like Jakarta, cafes are also a spot to escape from the heat. Therefore, café designs in the city place greater priority on spacious and comfortable air-conditioned indoors with little outdoor space.

Instead of a minaret or a dome, this building is distinguished by the two-coloured stacked porous façade, topped with a massive vessel-shaped roof. This mosque is located within a university complex, serving as a place of worship and a community centre for the campus’ communities and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
