Working alongside Decoration One’s craftspeople, a materiality driven approach created the concept of a flexible retail store that embraces craft and low carbon materials. Re-imagining the role of the Mashrabiyya, a bio based concrete Mashrabiyya not only functions as a sun shade to protect from the harsh south sun in Aqaba, but also extends spatially into the boutique to drive the retail experience. As a means of locking the sequestered carbon of the shells of oysters, mussels, and clams from the waste of seafood restaurants in Aqaba, the shells were crushed, and used as aggregate to create the bio based, low carbon concrete Mashrabiyya. The lime plastered walls and native plant species contribute to creating a healthy indoor environment.
