D-associates, established in 2001, is a Jakarta based architectural practice directed by Gregorius Supie Yolodi and Maria Rosantina. The practice has emerged a consistent figure within the architectural scenes of Indonesia through the first decade of the 21st century as demonstrated through a range of carefully detailed material experimentations and meticulously executed architectural projects. A wide range of recognitions of their architectural trajectories is evidenced in a number of prestigious architectural awards and design accolades they received consecutively between 2008 and 2012 and the selection of their works as representations of the dynamic of Indonesia’s architectural scenes in key international publications on the topic of contemporary Asian architecture.
Key projects that help position d-associates as one of the leading architectural practices in Indonesia are Rest Area KM 19, one of the first architecturally designed public facility strategically positioned on the Jakarta-Cikampek highway which connects the capital city and important regional towns on the island of Java and the Papilion Building, a mixed-use commercial building iconic for its adaptation of a double glass façade for the tropical climate of Jakarta.
