Eau (read : ō), this word is come from French language means
water. We named this building “Eau” because it was originally inspired by the
character of the water, especially its waves and reflectivity of water. Waves
that was created on the surface of the water is always never the same. In
addition, water also reflect the objects from its surrounding so it become not dominant
thing but has its own charm. Both of these points are very interesting and
inspiring for our team to design the form of Eau Building. In the other hand,
HMP Architects explored other character of water which can lower the
temperature. So the design team applied it character to this building with cool
color of reflective façade that can make a different facade among others

Eau Building was designed
to become an iconic building among others in Serpong area. This building was
built to fulfill the function as a skin care clinic. The location of this
building is very strategic which is on the crossroad of Serpong main street.
HMP Architects utilize the possibility of its area to design a building that
has a ‘supple’ form. HMP Architects designed this building with aim to break a
row of buildings which has a similar based form. Eau Building appears to be
different with it shape and the reflective façade make the building blend with
it surrounding environment. Eau building appears with
feminine character which showed from its curve. The smoothness of its curve
become a strong point for the façade. This building has a faceless façade
because of it form. It has no sharp angle for façade. This building stand
without showing any bold character.HMP Architects designed a
façade with dominant reflective glass to optimize the sunlight because this
building is facing to the east. Before decided
to use big reflective glass for its façade, the design team analyzed clinic’s
habit which starts their optimum activities at 10 AM so the east side of this
building is no longer has strong sunlight in the morning but still can give
enough natural light. For the west side, HMP Architects designed a solid form
to avoid the strong sunlight in the evening. Moreover, the solid form of this
building also designed to facilitate utilities area to support all the clinic’s
activities.If we observe this
building, we can see an open area as the terrace along the façade. The terrace is
designed with aim to break the solid mass of this four-storey building. In
other hand, HMP Architects designed the terrace to facilitate outdoor space for
clinic visitors, so they can enjoy the environment while waiting for clinic
services. Furthermore, the garden was
created surround this building. The large garden especially the garden behind
the building is used as an outdoor seating area for visitors who may enjoy the
environment. A large basement area under the garden is also created to
facilitate optimum parking area for visitors.
