HQuarters: A New Forward-Thinking SOHO in the Heart of Bandung’s CBD
This prestigious award-winning development in the heart of the city is the first mid-rise SOHO (Small Office Home Office) in the vicinity. Due to be completed in the middle of 2022, it will consist of 21 floors + 3 basements, F&B at ground and upper ground floor, gym and multi-function rooms at level 20 with a 360-degree view of Bandung, swimming pool, and fine dining at level 21, and 31 layers of automated car parking tower attached to the side of the main building.
Flexibility is a key design concept of the building. It can be used as an office, home office, or residence. All of the units are open plan with only the toilet and pantry provided. This concept not only creates freedom for the occupants but also challenges the design to accommodate all possible layout outcomes. The building is also divided vertically into three zones. Zone 1: L3 – 7 are designated for offices, zone 2: L8 – 16 for home office, and zone 3: L17 – 19 are left for potential tenants who need a certain amount of larger space. In total, there are about 175 units of SOHO, and 32 units of residence. All units’ size range from 53,68m2 to 119,27m2.
The façade is mostly composed of precast panels with window walls and low E glass which reduces the energy consumption of the building. The beacon of light on top of the building at 80 m above ground will be the highest structure in the area and will be seen from all angles of Bandung all the way from the mountainside to the north and down the city to the south. Standing tall in this unique strategic location, the site boasts the building intention to be the icon of the city of Bandung.
The project name “HQuarters” is derived from the location of the site where the “H” stands for History and Heritage. As one of the earliest and most historical roads, Jalan Asia Afrika has stood the test of time and witnessed the establishment and development of Bandung as a modern city. It was on Jalan Asia Afrika that the city of Bandung was founded, marked by the establishment of the 0 kilometre point of Bandung in 1810 as part of the “De Grote Postweg” or “The Great Post Road” built by the Dutch which connects Anyer and Panarukan for 1,000 Km. On April 24th, 1955 the road was renamed Jalan Asia Afrika after the historical Asian-African Conference. Over the years, Jalan Asia Afrika has maintained its prestige and significance and gradually developed into an important Central Financial and Business District (CBD) area with a distinct mix of architecturally art deco and modern buildings.
