The Design
About Cultural Link Samarbejdende arbejdsplads
Cultural Link er en samarbejdende arbejdsplads designet til arkitekter og interiørdesignere i Manama, Bahrain. Komplekset på 888 kvadratmeter kombinerer traditionelle bahrainske designprincipper med nutidige møbler og kunstværker. Separate bygninger definerer private kontorer, co-working-områder, en kaffebar og et materialebibliotek. Store vinduer forbinder de fælles arealer, mens lydabsorberende materialer understøtter roligt arbejde. Der er anvendt lokale materialer såsom kalksten, ler og palmetræ, hvilket hylder regionalt håndværk og fremmer bæredygtighed.
