SALTANAT HIGHWAY RESTAURANT
STUDIO MANIFOLD
STATUS: ONGOING
Saltanat is located in the suburb of Kashiani, Gopalganj. This project was conceived using affordable materials and parts of an existing building to Saltanat is a highway restaurant and venue space created for people to rest, eat, and relax middle of their long tiring journey. This group of clients comes from various backgrounds throughout the country including foreigners. The idea is that everything is connected, but the spaces remain fragmented for intimacy. In any space in the restaurant you might hear or smell things that give a sense of the adjacent spaces, but it isn’t completely open. The design defines distinct spatial volumes yet allows you to move through them with the freedom of an open plan. The restaurant is separated into 7 zones which consist of a playground and relaxation space, main dining area, luxurious coffee shop, super shop, dining courtyard, event space, and kitchen. The open floor plans are organized by a structural grid of 10 meters for efficiency with a void in the middle for the coffee shop and vertical circulation with operable skylight above. From the exterior, the triangular cutout windows and entry open the facade to the street, meeting the life of the sidewalk and revealing the life within the restaurant. This project’s indoor-outdoor continuity is intentional but presents a challenge in Bogotá, where the weather is perennial spring or fall and can be cold, chilly, or wet. In this case, we wanted to be sure that you could always feel the presence of what’s being made here, and that the space remained open to itself and to the street, and inviting you to dine in.
OASIS CORNER SHOP
STUDIO MANIFOLD
STATUS: ONGOING
A corner shop and office building for rent located on a quiet street in Jolshiri project. This project aspired to create a building that can maximize the performance of natural lighting without being affected by the negative impact of direct sunlight. The main façade, which is directly in contact with the street, gives a strong identity to the building and deals with its constraints. It is made of double-layered wire mesh. The density of the mesh allows for sunlight to be guided throughout the building and offers more privacy to the office space. This layer is a protection from the noise of the street; it creates efficient natural ventilation and protects the building from the rain. The back facade, which has to deal with a completely different context, is made of successions of windows and loggias which create a grid able to manage the extreme proximity of the next-door building. The loggias act as interior gardens; they offer a real “release” for the user, bringing the outside inside and providing natural ventilation to the office space.
CHUTI HOTEL EXTENSION, PURBACHAL
STUDIO MANIFOLD
STATUS: ONGOING
The hotel project is located in Purbachal, a suburban town about 17 kilometers Northeast of Dhaka City. Purbachal is one of the provinces that holds the most green area near Dhaka, an area characterized by fertile rice fields and rich forests. The project is a boutique hotel with about 50 rooms, targeting tourists and tour groups that want disconnection from the everyday. The client wanted the hotel to be low-cost and as open and natural as possible. The site is long and narrow, 28m wide and 91m deep, and although it is located in a in demoted position relative to a forest and borders an Army picnic site, it offers a glimpse of the beautiful coconut forests of Purbachal as it goes deeper into the site. However, the building is very long and narrow due to the need to provide a pathway for emergency vehicles on the site, resulting in a very long circulation. We thought the key point of the design was how to invite guests to the rear of the building without boring them. The hotel design is the “Design of Experience”. In this project, we studied how to design a unique hotel for Purbachal, where people can experience the richness of nature despite the disadvantages of the site.
NIKETAN HOTEL & RESORTS
STUDIO MANIFOLD
STATUS: ONGOING
Nestled in the mountains of Chittagong, the Niketan Five-Star Hotel sits serenely in a forest, a popular retreat destination. The original plan was designed in the 90’s along with the completion of shore piling, then construction of the project was postponed due to various natural disadvantages. Studio Manifold was appointed to do architecture and interiors and redesign the visual identity of the old site line. The redesign process aimed to best utilize the natural slope formed by the landscape, while taking full advantage of the spectacular mountain views. The building itself is closely connected to the surroundings through the usual language of architecture, creating a common dialogue between the landscape and the building, a perfect symbiosis of both, including the surroundings within the building itself which flow through the central atrium void. The project was divided into three zone, public zone with hall and restaurant, reception building with an atrium and hotel building. The pure geometric shape, where white predominates as a whole, makes the building an integral part of the surroundings as if emerging from the ground and following the gentle contours of the surrounding mountains and at the same time increasing the visitor’s emotions while observing the building, space and surrounding landscape.
A HOME TO RETURN
STUDIO MANIFOLD
STATUS: PROPOSED
The site is situated in the rural area of Chittagong, Bangladesh. The request was to design for a family of three brothers and their families, in their paternal land where their ancestral mud house was demolished. The family (house) transforms from a place of residence to a place to live, a place to gather, a place to study, a place to communicate, a place to grow crops, and a place to entertain. For children, adults, and families...the house becomes very important because most of the basic activities and human lifetime take place in the home space. The key concept of the project was rooted in traditional Bengali mud architecture. The core idea of this built environment is to preserve the essence of the simplicity our ancestors once had back in their times and transcend some of that to the next generations through contemporary design approaches that recognize regional context, culture, and vernacular strategies.
HOUSE 4X4
STUDIO MANIFOLD
STATUS: PROPOSED
The residence for Mr. Mehedi is built on land of 668 sqm and is in the Jolshiri project of Purbachal in Dhaka. The client is a real estate developer working on various residential and commercial projects in Dhaka. Their brief for us was to design a house for their family consisting of his three sons and their respective families with formal living & meeting, office, outdoor living/ party space, family living dining, kitchen, entertainment room, movie room, rooftop pool & garden, and private 4BHK apartments for each son and himself. They have an adjacent plot of 668 sqm which will be left for a lawn and future expansion for extended family. Beyond the functional requirements, they were keen to build a house with open-to-sky courtyards, which could become integral to the living areas. The idea is to create spaces that serve as a celebration of life within the home. adopts a holistic architectural approach, integrating the building with nature’s rhythms. It aims for a living space in sync with natural elements, focusing on light, shadow, and spatial flow. The house is designed based on plot size, sun trajectory, family needs, and climate; the architecture harmonizes plant life, water, sky, construction, and human interaction. The structure’s sections are interlocked, optimizing space functionality for a cohesive entity.
