The design brief for the Fen Cafe in Dubai’s neighbouring emirate, Sharjah called for a fully functioning cafe/restaurant in an existing historical building facing the Sharjah Art Museum to serve artists and visitors for the globally acclaimed Sharjah Art Biennial.
Built as home for Emirati residents, these traditional buildings they presented a challenge that was multi-fold. The scale of the spaces (particularly the entrance) was not designed at a ‘public’ scale and the buildings turned inwards with blind niches decorating the otherwise monotonous facades.
