Diversity is a potential and a challenge for Indonesia. Kab. Pasaman and Pasaman Barat, which have ethnic diversity, have faced ethnic conflicts between Minang and Mandailing. Problems that slowly disappear without a clear solution can potentially arise in the future. Kab. Pasaman Government assisted by the Kab. Pasaman Barat Government and CSR want to solve this phenomenon with a public space with about 6700 m2 land area consisting of commercial, educational, and spiritual functions. The facility functions as a reconciliation space that seeks to restore and improve good relations between the community. The project is located on Lintas Sumatra Street in Kec. Lubuk Sikaping, Kab. Pasaman. The main users of the facility are the commons from various ethnicities. In addition, users are grouped into students, communities, employees/management, and others (tourists). One of the approaches used to achieve reconciliation is placemaking. The main design problem is divided into sociability, uses & activity, access & linkage, and comfort & image. In addition, special conditions on the land are the presence of rivers on some sides of the site. The main concept in design is sociability which is also a design problem. The lack of interaction in society that led to segregation was an important factor that led to conflicts in the past. In addition, the design support concept is neutral and flexible. Social areas are located at various points in the facility as an answer to the main concept of sociability. The spaces in the facilities both outside and inside the facility can be used for various things depending on the user. Access flexibility is also realized by the presence of ramps and disabled toilets. In addition, to prevent jealousy or new problems, the image of the facility is made neutral by using the materials, composition, and scale of the roof in the vernacular architecture.
