About Cultural Link Ühistöökeskkond

Cultural Link on koostööle suunatud töökeskkond, mis on loodud arhitektidele ja sisearhitektidele Manamas, Bahreinis. 888-ruutmeetrine kompleks ühendab traditsioonilisi Bahreini disainipõhimõtteid kaasaegse mööbli ja kunstiteostega. Eraldiseisvad hooned eristavad privaatseid kontoreid, ühistöökeskusi, kohvikut ja materjaliraamatukogu. Suured aknad ühendavad ühiskasutatavaid alasid, samal ajal kui helisummutavad materjalid toetavad rahulikku töötamist. Kasutatud on kohalikke materjale nagu lubjakivi, savi ja palmipuit, austades piirkondlikku käsitööoskust ja toetades jätkusuutlikkust.
