What makes it unique hostel?

Each cube supports privacy as it is stacked in different angles and facing different direc-tions. The communal spaces in one side of building provide some shared zone for inter-action between different region people. It can be used for any function for example, re-ligious meeting room. The void just in front of main entrance is an open outdoor area where people can gather and communicate while sitting in a nice sunshine. It also creates friendly environment and makes them com-fortable as if they are in their hometown.

Feature

The cubes are twisted around in each level which makes it the interesting shape. It has both aesthetic and functional intention. More importantly, the symbolic meaning behind the simple geometrical shape ‘square’ is from Is-lamic art. Islamic art is partly distinctive; they like to use simple geometric shapes such as circles and squares, plants and letters of the alphabets. In order to depict Islamic inputs, two interlocking squares are used which sym-bolise order and harmony. Also unsymmetri-cal cubes itself represent the diverse culture and background within different religions.
