Ady Putra “Stacking Blocks on the Ground in Semarang” as a Attractive Commercial Building

The blocks arranged in 'random' rows appear to flow above this commercial building, designed by Ady Putra, in Semarang, Indonesia. The building is called 'One Nest' and serves multiple functions as a charming commercial building on the main road leading to the highway. 

As a commercial building, it has functions such as a restaurant and a salon. On the first floor, there is a restaurant with an Asian Cuisine menu. Visitors can continue their journey on the next floor with a ramp placed lengthwise as an interesting architectural element. On the second floor, a salon is directly framed by the large glass in front of it, and the garden view is framed to add a sense of relaxation. Then, on the third floor, there is a restaurant with an Italian menu.

Visually, the building looks like stacked stone blocks floating above the ground, giving the space the experience of immersing visitors into the surrounding landscape. The design of this building truly unites the building with the surrounding landscape so that there seems to be no boundary between nature and the building, visitors can enjoy it freely. 

The spatial experience of the building and nature is impressively shady, far from the heat that characterizes the city of Semarang. Although it looks 'dark' due to the black color covering the entire building, it is beautiful and stands out from its surroundings, fitting in well with its dense and entire landscape.
