Site zoning transforms two elements of Sumatran philosophy, the macrocosm and the microcosm.

Macrocosm concept

is applied through the arrangement of vegetation as a blanket for the site and the buildings in it. Arrangement of vegetation can create better air quality, reduce temperature and remove air pollutants.

Microcosm concept

is applied to building zoning where the front zone is used as the main entrance of the building, the middle zone is used as a public area and the water element as a relationship between humans, buildings and nature.

In order to create better air quality, landscape concepet apply several methods, such as:

- Reduce the temperature of the area by arranging vegetation on the side of the site and inner area of the site.

- Increasing air quality with dense tree cover

- Using vegetation types that can absorb emissions and CO2.

The vegetation that used on the site to absorb emission, pollutant, carbon monoxide and CO2 such as:

- Pohon trembesi/ ki hujan (Samanea saman)

- Pohon flamboyan (Delonix regia)
