Publichood Roastery Pejaten / Arti Design Studio

The site lies in the center of Jakarta, sandwiched between buildings in the middle of a dense neighborhood. It's a gem so hidden that you can only reach it via a secret entrance to a private residence. Surrounded by concrete jungle in the tropical city, the location is heavily affected by the urban heat island effect. This unbearable heat also increases year by year due to global warming. With these problems in mind, the architects designed a solution that works with the climate. An environmentally friendly yet comfortable haven, built using local materials with simple techniques by local hands.
