The Design

About Cultural Link Espace de travail collaboratif

Cultural Link est un espace de travail collaboratif conçu pour les architectes et les architectes d'intérieur à Manama, à Bahreïn. Ce complexe de 888 mètres carrés associe les principes du design bahreïnien traditionnel à du mobilier et des œuvres d'art contemporains. Des bâtiments distincts délimitent les bureaux privatifs, les espaces de coworking, un café et une matériauthèque. De grandes baies vitrées relient les espaces partagés, tandis que des matériaux absorbants favorisent le travail au calme. Des matériaux locaux tels que la pierre calcaire, l'argile et le bois de palmier sont mis en œuvre, rendant hommage à l'artisanat régional et soutenant la démarche de durabilité.
