This project, named LUNA (Living in Urban with Nature), repurposes an old Paragon warehouse in Jakarta into a sustainable community space. Focused on inclusive green areas, eco-friendly practices, and diverse activities, LUNA transforms the space into a vibrant hub supporting local businesses. With plans for culinary events, sales training, and shared kitchen experiences, LUNA aims to boost the Agricultural Hub brand through effective marketing and social campaigns. The project seeks to diversify revenue streams with co-working spaces and retail sales, ensuring sustained success and community enrichment. In summary, LUNA is an architectural initiative aligned with local needs, transforming an underutilized space into an environmentally conscious haven.

Design Framework

Activities

The facility meets community needs with spaces for sports, cultivation, sightseeing, and gatherings. It offers areas for play, work, study, and shopping. The Badminton Court hosts sports, and the Park serves as a venue for community gatherings. The Shared Kitchen features monthly programs like ‘cooking with a chef.’ In summary, it’s a compact and accessible hub for diverse activities.

Participatory Design

Participatory design guides our use of recycled materials in the Playground, Community Hall, Pavilion, and Canteen & Shared Kitchen, employing sustainable elements like polycarbonate, particle board, perforated floor, and reused steel for an eco-friendly approach. This commitment aligns with our vision for a sustainable, community-centric environment.
