Architect's Design Narratives:

The Casablanca apartment development was conceived as a residential oasis within Jakarta's dense urban center. This concept was eventually realized and now provides residents with a generously proportioned series of western-style apartments set amongst beautifully landscaped pools and lagoons. This vision of a residential oasis, coupled with the projects extremely convenient location within the city's Golden Triangle, creates a development unmatched within the upper-middle income market the development has targeted.

The two towers are carefully sited to maximize usable ground space, allowing for the creation of extensively landscaped pools and gardens. The towers are linked at grade level by a glass-enclosed gallery that overlooks waterfalls, fountains, reflecting pools, and a swimming pool with its own sand beach. The towers reflect the Art Deco history of Indonesian architecture that was prevalent earlier this century by the use of carefully detailed pre-cast concrete cladding that reflect the moderne style of that period. The façade and window proportions also emphasize the vertical proportions of the tower, and detailing and color selection was also carefully selected to reflect this period of Jakarta's past, but in a more updated interpretation. The entire complex was constructed in one phase and completed in 1996, and immediately became one of the most popular residential developments in the city.
