It all started with a simple belief: every structure we build should serve a greater purpose. When we founded CV Rinjani Multi Contractor in 2016, we entered the industry thinking we were just another construction firm. We built, we designed, we delivered. But something was missing.

Then, we found ourselves working on industrial projects that kept businesses running, but what about the people who had no access to the most basic infrastructure?

While factories kept their machines running, children in rural villages still studied under broken roofs, with no proper desks, no electricity, no future. The realization hit hard: we were solving problems for industries but not for humanity.

The question kept echoing in our minds: what if we used architecture to change lives instead of just completing projects?

In 2017, we rebranded into PT Adivia Karya Konstruksi, marking the beginning of a transformation that would shape our future. That same year, we secured a project with Kalbe Group, one of Indonesia’s largest pharmaceutical companies. It was here that we saw, for the first time, how the right infrastructure could save lives.

Then came the COVID-19 pandemic.

We watched how Kalbe Group mobilized its resources to fight the crisis—hospitals were overwhelmed, medicines were in high demand, and communities needed support. We saw the urgency of well-planned infrastructure, the need for spaces that could heal and protect.

And yet, outside the corporate world, thousands of schools remained neglected. Rural communities lacked clean water. Villages had no access to sustainable energy.

The thought haunted us: why weren’t we using our skills to solve these problems?

The pandemic wasn’t just a global crisis—it was a moment of reckoning. We knew we had to shift our focus.

By 2021, we had grown beyond a conventional architecture and construction company. We no longer wanted to just design spaces—we wanted to redesign the way architecture serves humanity.

That year, we rebranded as PT Tata Ruang Kota, later evolving into Tarakota. The name, inspired by Terracotta, symbolized a strong foundation, a timeless material that has shaped civilizations. But more than that, it represented our commitment to building not just walls, but futures.

This was the beginning of something bigger. Sociotecture was no longer just an idea, it was a necessity.

We asked ourselves :
- What if every school we built could last for generations, ensuring education for thousands of children?
- What if architecture wasn’t just about aesthetics, but about accessibility, sustainability, and social equity?
- What if, instead of waiting for change, we became the change?

The answer was clear. We had to act.

While our hands were still deep in architecture and design, our hearts had already shifted towards a greater mission.

Throughout 2023, we worked tirelessly behind the scenes, building networks, forming partnerships, and securing collaborations that would allow us to pivot into Sociotecture at full scale.

We forged connections with universities, NGOs, corporations, and government agencies, both in Indonesia and internationally. We reached out to high-net-worth individuals, impact- driven investors, and philanthropic organizations who shared our vision.

We weren’t just planning projects. We were laying the groundwork for a movement.

By 2024, the pieces started falling into place.

We had built a strong foundation of partners, from leading educational institutions to corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs of major companies. We had spent years understanding what it truly takes to build sustainable, long-lasting schools that don’t just provide education but transform entire communities.

We weren’t just thinking about building classrooms, we were designing ecosystems where education, clean water, and renewable energy could co-exist sustainably.

This was the year we solidified our plan. 2025 was going to be the year of execution.

Now, the wait is over. The time for action has arrived.

In 2025, we are focusing on Eastern Indonesia, where the need for proper education facilities is most urgent. Our first mission: building five fully sustainable schools that will serve as a model for future Sociotecture projects.

Each school will not just be a learning space.
- It will be powered by solar energy, ensuring that even the most remote communities can have access to electricity.
- It will have its own water filtration system, because no child should have to walk miles just for clean drinking water.
- It will be designed for resilience, built to withstand extreme weather, ensuring safety for generations to come.

This is just the beginning. We won’t stop at five schools.

We are building the blueprint for a movement.

But we can’t do this alone.

This is your chance to be part of something greater. Every donation, every partnership, every voice that joins our cause brings us closer to the world we dream of.
- We are not just designing buildings. We are designing hope.
- We are not just architects. We are changemakers.
- We are Tarakota. And we invite you to build the future with us.

Are you ready?
