Located in West Jakarta, RuBIK (Rumah Budaya Indonesia Kaya) office is the home of a cultural foundation. The four-storey, renovated building is an example of adaptive reuse in a city where demolition and replacement are common. Rather than erasing the past, the project reworks an existing 1990s office building, retaining its primary structure while adding a new roof and lift to extend its life and capacity. In the context of Jakarta’s rapid urban transformation, this approach combines a pragmatic architectural strategy with the conservation of embodied energy, while allowing new cultural programs to take root.
The spatial reconfiguration reflects the foundation’s dual role as a creative workplace and a platform for artistic production. The first and second floors are entirely assigned to the foundation’s offices, arranged in a series of bright work areas, offices, lounges, meeting rooms, a lunchroom, and an audiovisual room. The interiors are intentionally light, open, and youthful, fostering the dynamic pace of a modern creative organization and promoting informal interactions among team members.
The third and fourth floors have been redesigned to host artists-in-residence, managed by the foundation to support performing artists from across Indonesia. These levels feature a multifunctional auditorium, short-term dormitories, and a semi-outdoor terrace, creating a layered space where living, working, and relaxing blend together. The terraces blur the distinction between interior and exterior, offering moments of pause and reflection amid the dense urban fabric.
The building is wrapped in a lush green façade of climbing Thunbergia, creating a living envelope that softens its presence and emphasises vegetation as the building’s primary architectural expression. This enhances microclimate comfort and signals the institution's welcoming nature. More than a standalone project, the office marks the first completed phase of a larger cultural development by the same team: a performing arts center scheduled to open in 2027, pioneering the neighborhood as an emerging creative and cultural hub in Jakarta.
