Tanatap Wall Garden, A Space Born from Essential Architecture

March 14, 2024

In the middle of dense trees, three twirling white walls dance beautifully on its site as a place to gather, chat, and enjoy the sweet aroma of coffee flowing in the air. It is Tanatap Wall Garden which was born from RAD+ar’s innovative idea to unite the surrounding dense trees with three twirling white walls to create a beautiful space for gathering.

Tanatap Wall Garden s an example of the architects' creative ideas in building architecture from simple forms. In designing this palace, the idea was an answer to the architect’s question of could a commercial space be crafted only from walls. Three simple lines were drawn at the heart of the site which then birthed a unique structure that seamlessly blends with the dense trees.

These three twirling walls were arranged specifically to create open spaces that mimic a labyrinth. Through these walls, every customer can experience a unique walk between human creation, the walls, and God’s beautiful creation, the dense trees. The entrance, backyard, and amphitheater are all connected through existing trees which then create a sense of closure to nature.

Not only its beautiful design, Tanatap Wall Garden also features the commitment to creating a sustainable environment. It is evidenced through the existence of the 800sqm water pond that appears as a striking feature at the entrance. It returns all processed water and harvested rainwater back to the ground to enhance the building's sustainability and have a positive impact on the surrounding site.

Moreover, this place also serves as a welcoming public space for the locals and a perfect destination for everyone who has a high interest in music and performance. It is a place where creativity and curiosity can be expressed openly and invite every customer to mingle with the beautiful dense trees.
