Entry DescriptionTaman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), a 147-hectare cultural park in Jakarta, celebrates the spirit of Indonesia by bringing together 33 provincial pavilions, 7 houses of worship, 17 museums, and a central lake adorned with a miniature representation of the Indonesian archipelago. Designed to represent the country’s motto of unity in diversity, TMII serves as both a cultural showcase and a beloved public space.
The renewed lighting design reimagines TMII as a luminous nighttime destination, transforming pathways, landmarks, and water features into a cohesive visual narrative. Inspired by the warmth of Indonesian hospitality, lighting is used not only for clarity and orientation but to gently reveal architecture, celebrate heritage, and spark emotional connection.
Subtle ambient glows guide circulation, decorative accents breathe life into facades, and the miniature archipelago becomes a radiant symbol at the heart of the park. Light is placed with care—never overpowering, continually enhancing the space’s character and story.
Each fixture is selected not only for its performance but also for its ability to evoke atmosphere, memory, and cultural meaning. TMII’s lighting scheme is more than a technical solution; it is a curated experience—where architecture, nature, and identity converge under a thoughtful, contemporary nightscape.
Sustainability ApproachSustainability is a key part of the lighting design for TMII. All lights use energy-saving LED technology and are controlled by timers and zones, ensuring they only operate when needed—based on visitor traffic, events, and natural sunlight.
At night or during quiet hours, lighting levels are lowered to conserve energy while still maintaining a safe and comfortable environment. Lights are placed carefully to avoid glare, minimize light pollution, and protect sensitive areas, such as historic buildings and natural zones.
In heritage zones, no damage is done to the original buildings. Wires are concealed, and lights are seamlessly integrated into the surroundings. The system is also designed to last a long time, with low maintenance requirements and the option to upgrade in the future.
This thoughtful approach helps TMII stay beautiful, safe, and environmentally friendly for years to come.
