WORKSHOP FOR LEATHERWORKERS

by Fatima Al-Gersani

My clients for this project were leatherworkers. I decided to create a space for them to produce and sell leather products as well as a residential space. I divided my site into two different buildings. This was to separate the clients personal life from their professional.The larger building is the commercial building which consists of 3 floors. The ground floor is a shop that sells leather products and the first floor is a workshop where the products are produced. The second floor is a break room that has a kitchen and toilets. The second building is the residential building for my clients. This also consists of 3 floors. The ground floor has a living room and kitchen. The first floor has 2 bedrooms and a bathroom and the second floor has an office and a roof garden.
