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.

Located at the tip of the Java island, Banyuwangi recently has developed into a destination for local and international tourists. Set amid the mountains on the west side, and the sea on the east which directly borders Bali island, this regency relies on the natural beauty of Java island which is not yet popular to public. To date, the development of Banyuwangi is supported by a number of national architects who were involved in the construction of tourist facilities as well as a variety of well-organized city and public spaces. A well-designed environment can be experienced even at the moment tourists set their foot for the first time when using the airlines.

Public space, as we know it, is a designated area in a governed human settlement that is accessible to everyone. As it is named, public space functions as a place for public gathering—one of the earliest examples is the square in ancient Greek metropolis and similar space that other cities built through the span of the last millennium. The more recent takes on public spaces include parks, pedestrian path as well as other accessible infrastructure, and sometimes, institutional buildings. Public space then functions more than as a place to gather, but also to relax, spend time doing almost anything, up to being a deliberate pause in a dense urban design, and as an ecological element, for instance, an area of water reserve or for nature to thrive.

When finished in 2018, Tanjong Pagar Centre was built to be one of the superlatives in Singapore. Standing at 290 meters above the street level, this mixed-used development is named as the tallest building in Singapore at the moment. With its position, flanked by the heritage rows of shophouses in Tanjong Pagar, this skyscraper stands as a prominent landmark on an urban scale. On a human scale, the extensive green open space of Tanjong Pagar Centre also marked itself as a landmark while being in the proximity of Tanjong Pagar MRT Station.

Sitting on a housing cluster in one corner of Greater Jakarta, Compartment House showcases a unique example of how a residence is transformed into a mixed-use space. Designed and owned by Studio Sae’s principal, the house has seen multiple development and renovation since 2013 before the latest major revamp happened in 2017. Since then, there are at least three main functions carried by this house—living, working and interacting, as three connected compartments.

Two years ago, when MRT Jakarta and many of the now-opened public spaces in the city had not yet existed, the idea of hanging out and strolling in some parks were deemed peculiar. With most of the public parks in Jakarta being gated, rarely maintained and poorly lit in the evening, parks were not the place of choice for people to spend their time. Parks, like those surrounding Monumen Nasional, were only popular on weekends or holidays, and people preferred to be in an air-conditioned mall, whiling their time away.
