Riffa Views, Bahrain 2015

 

A spatially-flipped concept "interning outside". 

​

The design starts with a streetscape taking us through a traditional Bahraini alley with its elements and urban features: The baker (khabbaz), Juice shop, and doors to houses with traces of life spilling onto the alley (satellite dish, Aerial, water tank tank, clothes line on the roof,...)

​

The design extends to engage an extra sense, with a soundtrack of alley noise during the day, and another one with night atmosphere...
