The Indonesia Design District is a unique outdoor shopping center concept that aims to bring together an array of furniture and design brands servicing both the home and office markets in a manner that combines the advantages of traditional strip malls with the benefits of modern architecture.
Located in north Jakarta, the Indonesia Design District clearly takes inspiration from strip malls in the fact that stores can all be accessed from the outside, while thoughtful architecture allows all the spaces to be flooded by daylight. Shoppers can enjoy walking from one shop to the other through a green lawn and a central plaza and make use of amenities such as cafes, rather than ambling from store to store on a dusty sidewalk while evading cars as is often the case in conventional strip malls.
What's more, this design provides each of the stores to enjoy high visibility among shoppers. Shops will be grouped under categories such as home, kitchen, office and building materials, ensuring shoppers can quickly access the products they need.
