bamboo shop @ tribes india

transformed the IITF 2009, NMBA exhibit into a bamboo store, was challenging but interesting exercise. giving volume and surface area to an open structure wasn't very easy but interesting enough.

bamboo shop located at 9, mahadev road, new delhi, with Tribes India, where bamboo based tribal products would be displayed and sold, encouraging tribal to keep following their tradition.

measuring 565 sft, walls were erected using bamboo slat faced walling panels, which are 16mm thick, which gave a very elegant finish. these boards are very sturdy as well as heavy, but super strong. flooring is again bamboo flooring parquets.

the shop interiors, which includes lighting fixtures and display stands were fabricated by TBDC, Ahmedabad.

the overall experience has been very good, though the project got deeelayed for some or other reason.
