Description
The project Loom Shade for
Amber Denim took its inspiration from the vernacular
architecture of Bangladesh while it is modern in stylistic expression.
The humble structure with modern amenities inside is fabricated with the
locally available materials both natural and crafted. The lily pond and
vegetation around the loom shade reflects sense of place in the truest sense.
“Keeping the project cost low was a challenge which was worked out throughout its completion. As for running expenses the introduction of watrebody, bamboo screen, high ceiling and other vernacular elements substantially reduces electricity cost by eliminating the need for air conditioning and artificial lighting and makes the space cool and comfortable to work in. The main intention is ease of use and comfort.” – Archeground (quoted from the presentation panel).
