The Amber Denim Loom Shed is a new design that employs a traditional Bangladeshi residential architecture with contemporary elements that give it a modern twist. The building has a simple layout comprising a large open space to accommodate the loom machines, a buyers? lounge, a dining space for workers, a prayer area and washrooms.

The whole structure is erected on an artificial waterbody and supported by upcycled gas pipes that act as steel columns.

The high ceiling, bamboo screen-walls and open space design allow natural light and ventilation, thereby eliminating the need for artificial air-conditioning or lighting.
