The Arume restaurant and bar located in Jakarta has been completed by the team at RAD+ar, which also stands for Research Artistic Design + architecture. The structure is defined by its wave-like rooftop made with concrete along the terrace in a swept form. It is nestled in the city's Kemang district and is designed to join the restaurant chain of various nature-filled areas.
The principal of Research Artistic Design + architecture (RAD+ar) Antonius Richard, shares the design thought process with Dezeen. "The core concept was to explore the potential of split-level design in creating distinct zones, while integrating nature within a compact footprint. The project engages with its site by blending contemporary design elements with the tropical surroundings of the commercial area."
