The Peak Twin Towers
Encyclopedia
The Peak is the tallest twin tower apartment complex in the world, and 4th tallest building in Jakarta
. Located within the Jl. Jend. Sudirman business district of Jakarta, Indonesia, The Peak was designed by DP Architects. The Peak has become an icon of Jakarta due to its height and symmetry.
Standing at approximately 265 m (including the antenna spire above the crown), The Peak comprises four towers, two sets of twin towers with 35 and 55 storeys. The Peak was launched and started construction in 2003. Completion was due in June 2006 however the hand-over eventually took place in 2007 with some minor construction still occurring until early 2008.
Facilities available to owners and tenants include an Olympic size swimming pool, hot tubs and plunge pools, saunas, steam rooms, tennis, squash and basketball courts, gymnasium, and massage rooms. The penthouses are located on the 46th to 55th floors with panoramic views of Jakarta
.
The complex is featured by Images Publishing Australia
in its book "The World's 50 Best Apartments", published in 2006, way before the apartment itself was fully constructed.

The lateral resisting system for this very slender building is RC core and outrigger system, located at 10th-12th floors, 21st-23rd floors, 32nd-34th floors floors. These outriggers transfer the core bending moment into axial forces in the outrigger columns, thereby making the structure much stiffer and more efficient. This system makes use the whole width of the building to overcome the overturning moment from earthquake or wind, and makes the building more stable. The fundamental period of the structure is 4.536 seconds. The Peak has been designed to withstand 500-year earthquake based on the New Indonesian Seismic Resistant Design Code for Buildings SNI 03-1726-2002 and 100-year wind. It used the facility at the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory Canada to predict the behavior of the building under strong wind, and proved that it will response satisfactorily. The top floor acceleration during 10-year wind is 9.6 mg, well below the international criteria of 15 mg, to ensure occupant's comfort. The wind engineers for the project is RWDI, Canada.
