About Cultural Link Gearwurkingswurkromte

Cultural Link is in gearwurkingswurkromte ûntworpen foar arsjitekten en ynterieurûntwerpers yn Manama, Bahrein. It kompleks fan 888 fjouwerkante meter ferbynt tradisjonele Bahreinske ûntwerpprinsipes mei hjoeddeiske meubels en keunstwurken. Aparte gebouwen jouwe romte oan private kantoaren, co-working-gebieten, in kofjeshop en in materiaalbibleteek. Grutte finsters ferbine de dielde romten, wylst lûddempjende materialen stil wurk stypje. Der wurdt gebrûk makke fan lokale materialen lykas kalkstien, klaai en palmhout, wêrmei't regionaal fakmanskip earre wurdt en duorsumens stipe wurdt.
