About Blue Tandoor Muundo wa Ndani wa Mkahawa

Blue Tandoor ni muundo wa ndani wa mkahawa ulioko Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, wenye eneo la takribani futi za mraba 3,500. Mawimbi ya dari yaliyopindika yanakumbusha kuba la Taj Mahal na kuipa nafasi hiyo tabia ya kifahari. Matao ya kijiometri, kazi za wavu (lattice) na kuta zenye umbile la ndani hurejelea mitindo ya Asia Kusini na Mashariki ya Kati. Taa za ukigo ulioshonwa, nyuso za mbao ngumu na miguso ya shaba huongeza hali ya joto. Rangi za buluu iliyokoza hukumbusha utulivu wa mwanga wa mwezi. Usanifu unaosaidiwa na kompyuta ulitumika kupanga mifumo ya matao pamoja na mpangilio wa nafasi. Muundo wa ndani unaunganisha marejeleo ya kimapokeo na starehe ya kisasa ya kulia chakula.
