The Garuda Palace (Indonesian: Istana Garuda) is one of seven presidential palaces in Indonesia, situated atop a hill facing southwest to Plaza Seremoni (Ceremony Plaza) and Bukit Bendera (Flag Hill) in Nusantara, the future capital city of Indonesia.[1] The 2,400 m2 (26,000 sq ft) palace was built by the Joko Widodo administration and placed in one complex with the State Palace (Istana Negara, situated beneath the Garuda Palace), the Presidential Secretariat Office, and four coordinating ministries.[2]
The architectural design is based on the Garuda design created by Nyoman Nuarta, a renowned sculptor. The design was approved by President Joko Widodo in 2022. The palace is part of the 55.7 hectare Nusantara Presidential Complex.[3]
As a landmark and a point of interest of Nusantara, the palace is enclosed with a Garuda sheath. The Garuda sheath is 77 m (253 ft) in height and 177 m (581 ft) in wingspan. The sheath consisted of 4,650 copper bars, each weighing 300 kg (660 lb), arranged in the shape of a flying Garuda. The palace is considered an architectural and construction marvel exhibiting Indonesian capability in art, science, and technology.[2][4] Garuda Palace is the second Indonesian presidential palace to be built after the Proclamation of Independence in 1945, after the Tampaksiring Palace in Bali.
