About Cultural Link Zajednički radni prostor

Cultural Link je zajednički radni prostor namenjen arhitektama i dizajnerima enterijera u Manami, na Bahreinu. Kompleks površine 888 kvadratnih metara spaja tradicionalne bahreinske principe dizajna sa savremenim nameštajem i umetničkim delima. Odvojeni objekti definišu privatne kancelarije, prostore za zajednički rad, kafe i biblioteku materijala. Velike prozorske površine povezuju zajedničke prostore, dok materijali koji apsorbuju zvuk omogućavaju miran rad. Korišćeni su lokalni materijali poput krečnjaka, gline i palminog drveta, čime se odaje počast regionalnom zanatstvu i podržava održivost.
