Mitte Oblique Garden: RAD+ar Reclaims Human Scale in Hyperdense Jakarta

Mitte Oblique Garden, a commercial architecture project spanning 1,100 m² in Jakarta, Indonesia, is being developed by RAD+ar and is slated for completion in 2026. This initiative seeks to reintroduce a human scale within Jakarta's dense environment by blurring the lines between the building, landscape, and climate, thereby presenting a fresh architectural vision for Asian megacities. The design team features Lucas Dharma Sourice, Yusron, and Winston Goey, with principal architects Daniel Susanto and Antonius Richard Rusli. The project was photographed by Ernest Theofilus, while Miwa Negoro curated its presentation. This approach tackles Jakarta's hyperdensity by viewing building, landscape, and climate as an interconnected whole, suggesting a new paradigm for vertical urban growth in Southeast Asia's burgeoning cities.
