DTC

Depok, Jawa Barat, Indonesia
2010

Depok Town Center was a commercial center located in a residential area in Depok, western part of Java. Being among dense residential area, DTC was a crowded commercial center. But due to its lack of organized space and old appearance, it was flocked by lower market crowd.

The renovation of this commercial center is intended to create a modern and fresh appearance. The solid existing facade was replaced by a light transparent facade that exposed its new lobby atrium-creating an inviting appearance. The lighter and wider entrance appearance also achieved by suspended planes. The bold red lines also highlight the new modern ambiance.
