The Multifunction of Sentosa Senayan Building, Jakarta

edited by canva

Hi Architecture+Design fellows..

Jakarta never lacks aesthetic places to hang out. Not only is the place comfortable, but the view behind it is also no less beautiful, inviting young people to visit the place continuously. I will periodically show you hangout places that are like hidden gems in Jakarta, places that are widely disseminated through social media because of the aesthetics of the place and the view.

But this time I want to show you one of the parking buildings that also functions as a restaurant in the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium area. This building does look like most parking buildings, but if you walk along it, you will find a hangout place that will make you feel at home.

Sentosa Senayan
_{A Multifunction Building}

Sentosa Senayan has 4 floors, 3 floors are used as parking spaces, and another room is used as a restaurant. In the basement, there is a fast food restaurant, while next to it there is a space for the Indonesian motorcycle community. While the rest is for car and motorcycle parking.

There is nothing special about this parking lot. It has a cement floor and is supported by sturdy metal pillars. Almost all of the floors used for parking are cement floors, while those used for restaurants are gray marble floors.

But I love this view, which is from a 3rd-floor window and shows the entire building. It looks cinematic.

Let's see the restaurant on the 4th floor. It's on the rooftop, where you can see the view of tall buildings from here. In addition, many people come here to enjoy the sunset. Some others also enjoy the sunset while having a barbecue behind their cars.

Although located on the rooftop of a parking building, Sentosa Senayan Restaurant is a middle-class restaurant with a minimalist feel. This can be seen from the selection of furniture made of wood and brown. The whole thing is brown. I found many large-scale worker groups choosing Sentosa Senayan as their lunch spot.

From this open area, you can see the tall buildings towering. When I was there, the weather was cloudy so it didn't look good from the photos. But in fact, when you are there, the buildings will look very beautiful. Some people and their groups were seen taking pictures with the buildings in the background.

Besides, there is also toilet and prayer room in this building. All are available on this rooftop so you can comfortably chat with your friends without having to forget your worship and business in the toilet.

I like their toilet concept. The women's and men's cubicles are separated while the sinks are made the same. What's unique about this sink is the mirror that is made parallel to the faucet, so for a mini body like me, I can see clearly without having to look up or stand on tiptoe.

Behind the toilet, there is a prayer room, so it makes it easier for anyone who has cleaned themselves to go to this prayer room.

Overall, the Sentosa Senayan Building is simple in style using common materials. They emphasize more on the function of this building as a safe and comfortable place to spend time with family or friends. However, a little critic and advice to the management of this building must pay more attention to the maintenance of this building because on some sides the walls and floors are starting to get moldy. They also need to be more serious about maintaining the green space in this building so that they can balance the air that is starting to be polluted by smokers. Or, just make this building one of the buildings that is free from cigarette smoke.
