Wuhan Park 360° Observatory:
melting architecture into a regenerative design

Design is our study on dissolving architecture into a rich, subtropical topography of landscape and waterscape. Designed for ultimate 360 degree visual connectivity, creating unparalleled spatial permeability and multi-tiered sightlines.

Engineering a selfless inclusive ecological performance, the structure features a 100% rainwater catchment system and biophilic facades—acting as a living extension of the topography to give its entire footprint back to the land.

In pursuit of a Parametric Vernacular:
Supercharging the Genius of the Primitive Loci.

How can adjusting the tectonic variables of vernacular architecture actively alter the thermal and experiential performance of a space? The answer lies in forging a new identity—a definitive character for Asian Futurism.

Design was to look to the past to decode the Tropical Machine. By studying designs where traditional craftsmen acted as proto-parametric engineers, we can see how they responded directly and intuitively to thermodynamic data.

How can our discipline act as a bridge between two narrative extremes? We are caught between the stark simplicity of Western modernism in our urban metropolises, and the romanticized "primitive hut" of the Eastern tropical villa.

The pursue to merge both are the foundation of our daily discipline

Can a space acted as a temporary refuge within the dense urban fabric ?

By deploying a singular, expansive roof plane, the design generates an autonomous microclimate, shifting the paradigm from architecture-as-monument to architecture-as-topography.

It acts as a civic ground where ordinary moments are elevated through spatial clarity. Users activate the space, defining their own narratives within a communal threshold that quietly fosters community life.

How do we rethink modernity in our discipline?

Modernity is a simple word for an increasingly complex world. We design to bridge the gap between localized environmental impact and industrial globalization.

mitte oblique garden

A work in progress: an intersection between a commercial hub and a 1-hectare ridged garden.

Hovering above is a giant slanted canopy that dictates both the visual horizon and the site's microclimate, the Oblique Garden serves as a highly permeable framework.

It is engineered to create unlimited permutations of inclusive spaces within urban commercial garden in Jakarta

Best Young Firm of 2026 🏆
Architizer Awards

Our humble studio is deeply honored to take home the Award

RAD+ar was built from a small shared dream: to decentralize inclusive architecture, driven by a collective of young, idealistic minds from the archipelagic nation of Indonesia. This acknowledgment fuels our passion to push boundaries even further and cements our commitment to architectural experimentation to move one step closer to the dream.

Installation driven by empathy eliminates material redundancy.

What if an installation could transcend its role as a mere showcase to find a second life rooted in inclusivity?

Design inverted the conventional thinking process. Rather than starting with a temporary installation, we began by conceptualizing an inclusive prayer hall. We then reconfigured this core idea, constructing a zero-waste installation along the way.

Architectural displays should not exist for purely hedonistic purposes. Instead, they must act as catalysts-ones that inspire practitioners and academics alike to demonstrate sustainability in pragmatic, tangible ways.

We were honored to collaborate on Tatalogam's booth at ARCH:ID 2026 .id.indonesia Driven by the brand's material innovation, the pavilion explores how steel can be transformed into a dynamic and highly inclusive environment.

Positioned directly in front of the alun-alun, the pavilion deliberately adopts an attitude of humility. Its façade acts as a civic stage, offering public seating while extending the visual axis toward the space beyond.

Rather than isolating itself, the architecture frames and amplifies the life of the public realm. Pushing the boundaries of steel's flexibility, the inclusive roofscape emerges as the project's central statement. The structure simultaneously acts as floor, roof, and façade-functioning as shelter, circulation, and a piece of contemporary artwork in one continuous gesture.

What if an installation could be more than just a showcase? What if it could find a second life as an optimized, inclusive space?

We flipped the design process. Rather than starting with a temporary installation, we began by designing an inclusive prayer room. We then deconstructed it, reconfigured the components, and built a zero-waste installation along the way.

Architectural displays should not be reduced to fleeting spectacles. We believe they must act as catalysts-inspiring both practitioners and academics to demonstrate sustainability in a pragmatic and tangible way.

We were honored to collaborate on Tatalogam's booth at ARCH:ID 2026 .id.indonesia . Inspired by their material innovation, the pavilion explores how steel can transform into something dynamic, sculptural, and welcoming for all.

Positioned directly in front of the alun-alun, the pavilion deliberately adopts a posture of humility. The façade acts as a civic stage-offering public seating and extending the visual axis toward the area beyond.

Rather than standing apart, the architecture frames and amplifies the life of the public realm. Pushing the boundaries of steel's flexibility, the inclusive roofscape emerges as the central statement. In one continuous gesture, the structure simultaneously becomes floor, roof, and façade-functioning as shelter, circulation, and contemporary artwork.

Rethinking tropical canopy architecture. Habitat Garden

This project connects multi-level commercial spaces through a low-carbon architectural footprint, seamlessly integrating them into a lush urban garden.
The design demonstrates the efficiency of treating the facade, roof, and ceiling as a single, cohesive envelope. It is carefully engineered to optimize natural daylight and cross-ventilation during the day, while utilizing high-performance interior lighting to activate the facade at night-redefining energy efficiency in urban commercial buildings.
