LOOMI BUSINESS & RESIDENCE
02
A Navajo inspired business + residence made up of three shipping containers. In this project we explored extreme design requirements that were to be met. There was a focus on sustainability, space requirements, as well as Covid-19 measures and ties back to personal heritage.
Natural lighting to save on energy
Living room
RESIDENTIAL
The client wanted a serene oasis away from the business that reflected the heritage of the Navajo people. They wanted to create a space that would house at least one guest while still maintaining sustainable practices.
