New Gold “Landmark” for Jakarta Skyline

Jakarta, Indonesia, has a striking new addition to its skyline: headquarters for telecommunications company Telkom featuring a 48-story, 219-m-tall gold tower designed by Woods Bagot, SkyRise Cities reported. In addition to Telkom Landmark Tower, which brings to mind origami, the central business district development includes a 20-story office building, a six-story podium and “revitalized” 16-story building. Woods Bagot Principal Patrick Daly observed features such as a podium bridge and multifloor atriums “reinforce [the idea of] a cohesive culture and connected campus.” The tower’s façade blends form and function, with metal screens inspired by Indonesian textiles and sunshades that reduce heat gain and filter sunlight.
