Form.3 Architects has taken a historic building located in Bangladesh, and converted it into a modern cafe and boutique. Instead of creating the average coffee shop, the designers behind the idea went with a jungle-themed motif instead.
The cafe is made up of various levels, with long, jungle-like branches hanging down on all sides. No matter where you are sitting, it feels as if you are in the middle of a rainforest, enjoying a nice hot latte. At night the lighting is dimmed too, adding to this closed-in effect that happens with the dense forestry found in the rainforest. A water garden was even put in place to add to the jungle-inspired look of the place.
