The firm ensured to create of a co-living space that provides a cozy working environment to the people while also allowing them to expand their network.
Bamboo- The Chief Protagonist
With the idea of creating an eco-friendly co-living space, the design firm used bamboo as the central material. The bamboo along with giving an aesthetical value to the space offers sturdiness and durability to the structure.
The sweeping restyling also sees a double-level communal area with long wooden benches for collaboration and working, capped by a bamboo roof that echoes the surrounding beauty. The complex bamboo formation depicts the sensitive response taken toward the existing environmental issues.
Four Major Materials
The structure is bound using four natural materials, such as bamboo, coffee branches, a hammock, and natural hard stones.
The system carries the principles of sustainability and ecology, concentrating on using the local material palette and reducing the permanent construction. That is why the firm renovated the existing building yet to maintain an iconic architectural design.
