The furniture concept was developed with a Thai architect, doing an internship with the Royal Government of Bhutan. Amm Bong and our office have combined individually produced furniture items like wardrobes, bunk beds, comfortable chairs with an industrially produced school programm from German company VS Moebel, who were pricewise well comparable with regional offers from Thailand and India. the individual furniture was produced as full wood items from pinewood, which gives the student hostel a warm and friendly athmosphere.
The bankett hall is equipped with stackable chairs and desks, the equal type of desks being used also in the classroom areas making them well combinable. The white/black colour concept is designwise suitable for a school but with tablecloth and nice glasses and cutlery can easily be converted into an elegant seated dinner area.
The professional kitchen including a training kitchen unit was procured from Germany also and may easily be the most modern professional kitchen in Bhutan.
The whole project is a joint venture project between Royal government of Bhutan and the Austrian development Agency.
