Tangerang – Ammaia Ecoforest, an innovative housing project developed by Astra Land Indonesia, has captured attention as a real example of sustainable living amidst the bustling city.
Located in Cikupa, Tangerang, this project embraces the concept of green living, harmoniously combining natural surroundings with modern lifestyles.
One distinctive feature of Ammaia Ecoforest is the incorporation of a Green Open Space (GOS) covering 30 percent of the total land area. GOS is not merely a green area; it serves as a space for social interaction, recreation, and relaxation for residents. Children's play areas, food gardens, and jogging tracks provide opportunities for a healthy and active lifestyle.
GOS is a crucial element of open space, functioning as a place for social interaction, reconnecting people with nature, others, and themselves. "The role of GOS is vital," says Iben Yuzenho Ismarson, Founder of Sebumi.
The concept of an ecoforest within this area creates a cool and calming atmosphere, reducing the urban hustle and bustle. Additionally, the project has implemented effective rainwater management, reducing flood risks and supporting water availability.
"Living near nature can reduce stress levels, allowing us to maintain stable moods and emotions. This enables us to have a more positive relationship with ourselves and enhance positive relationships with others," explains clinical psychologist Tara De Thours.
Ammaia Ecoforest is not just a place of residence; it's a community that cares about the environment. ALI has achieved the Gold rating from the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) for the sustainability of this housing project. The concept of green living and the integration of nature create an environment that supports a better quality of life.
"To achieve this, we present the concept of green living in Ammaia Ecoforest, as an effort to accommodate the current lifestyles and urban communities that seek serene and comfortable living spaces, enhancing the quality of life for its residents," says Tony Soetanto, Project Director of Ammaia Ecoforest.
