Nestled in one of the greenest urban environments in the southern part of the capital, Savyavasa apartment offers ample space that redefines an unparalleled, sumptuous living experience.
The word “Savya” in Sanskrit means south and “Vasa” means living. And the concept behind “Savyavasa” refers to a state of being on balance. It emphasises the ability to stop time and live in the moment. It’s a way of life that focuses on the real you, regardless of flaws, and that gives you the freedom to live out your dreams and lead of life of purpose that is true to who you are.
It is a perfect method of describing the creation of Savyavasa, a luxury residential development headed by two international developers, Swire Properties in Indonesia and JSI Group. The property consists of three towers set in a three-hectare lush landscape located in the prestigious Dharmawangsa area of South Jakarta.
The location of this luxury apartment is key to this Sanksrit-inspired approach. It is one of the greenest urban surroundings in all of Jakarta where your eyes are feasted on the area that is almost a natural forest. The property is something that other apartment developments typically don’t have. As a result, you get to enjoy a lifestyle experience than you would in other parts of the city.
Everywhere you go within the buildings that make up Savyavasa apartment, you can see this natural landscape around you. The man-made buildings are designed to effortlessly blend in with the local nature. Indeed, the seamlessness between bricks, mortar and the green was one of the key design briefs given to all the minds involved in the creation of this ambitious residence, a team that also includes Singapore-based architecture firm SCDA, Bali-based landscape architect Intaran Design, Toronto-based global design consultancy Yabu Pushelberg (working on the larger units of the residence) and New York-based design firm Richardson Sadeki (working on the smaller units).
These accomplished organisations all worked together to create a luxury residence that organically blended the natural with the man-made. This meant that the landscape had to be preserved as much as possible and not over-designed in a completely ornate way that residents couldn’t experience, enjoy or make use of any of the surrounding nature. It had to appear as fresh and natural as possible.
In order to keep things natural, things also had to be timeless. Towards this end, the interior designs were given a contemporary feel that will still be just as relevant 10 or even 20 years from now as they are today. Naturalism also meant that the three towers and the range of apartments that make up Savyavasa allow for a range of different customer types, with sizes ranging from a 130 square two-bedroom apartment to a 485 square meter four-bedroom apartment.
To further maintain the natural feel, ceilings for the larger units were built with double the height. The goal was to make it so that residents never felt like they were actually walking into an apartment, but rather like walking into their private home. The double-height of the units also allows for higher amounts of natural light penetration, making for an environment that feels all the more cozy and comfortable. The private bedrooms and bathroom, of course, still maintain regular three-meter ceiling heights. Want to blend in with the community and socialize? You got it. Want to go private? Just a few steps away. It’s the best of both worlds.
The three-hectare land that makes up the development site allows for a wide array of recreational possibilities. Of the three hectares, some two of them are comprised of green areas. The residence also has three pools, a very large gym (alongside a private gym for the residents of Tower 1), a medical clinic, onsite food-and-beverage outlets, a spa, meeting areas both indoor and outdoor, colonnades connecting the tower, and a one-kilometer jogging track that goes through the natural green forest, all in one property that allows residents to seamlessly blend work, socialisation and nature all in one package.
In all, these residences aren’t just mere luxury apartments to purchase but rather a place where one can truly live together with others in nature. This approach that allows for easy transitions to and from personal and public life is especially important in this changing and evolving era of working from home. It’s a place perfectly designed to both keep up with the times and also stay rooted in nature.
