Design

The Wisma 46 and surrounding buildings in 2008

This building has a modern design and also a unique appearance, which is curved shaped like a pen and fully covered by square patterned glass facade. On either side of the tower, the glass facade is covered by a hollow concrete wall that is also square shaped.[6] Because of its uniqueness, this skyscraper is one of the icons of Jakarta after Monas.[7]

This building appears in the 2004 video game Need For Speed: Underground 2, located in Bayview City Centre.[8]
