A 7000 square meters consists of a restaurant, a concept store, bars, and outdoor attractions, incorporating man-made nature into its structure. Tons of planted real trees and plants give an experience of open air architecture.
The goal of providing a new experience of restaurant and bar by incorporating tropical nature idea into its spaces define the architecture idea to harmonize the desired man-made tropical nature. Located near Pantai Marina in Semarang, the original structure was a gokart arena which majorly redesigned and rebuild for OPENAIRE Restaurant and Bar. It aims to be a new land mark to the nearby area, evoking the area to be more livable where residential is mostly built.

The 7000 sqm offers a variety of typologies: a restaurant, a concept store, bars and outdoor attractions (man-made pond and gardens). These typologies are integrated in OPENAIRE where the sense of experiencing nature are highly provided. Therefore OPENAIRE gives a strong connection between the the nature and indivuals experiencing a bunch of activities.
