About Cultural Link Kollaborativer Arbeitsraum

Cultural Link ist ein kollaborativer Arbeitsraum, der für Architekten und Innenarchitekten in Manama, Bahrain, gestaltet wurde. Der 888 Quadratmeter große Komplex verbindet traditionelle bahrainische Gestaltungsprinzipien mit zeitgenössischen Möbeln und Kunstwerken. Separate Baukörper beherbergen Einzelbüros, Coworking-Bereiche, ein Café und eine Materialbibliothek. Große Fenster verbinden die Gemeinschaftsbereiche, während schallabsorbierende Materialien konzentriertes, ruhiges Arbeiten unterstützen. Lokale Materialien wie Kalkstein, Lehm und Palmenholz kommen zum Einsatz und würdigen so das regionale Handwerk, während sie zugleich die Nachhaltigkeit fördern.
