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).
