Studio Hinge creates library spaces beneath tree-like wooden columns
Indian practice Studio Hinge has completed Forest of Knowledge, a library in Mumbai that sits beneath a tree-like canopy of latticed wood.
The library was designed for the Cricket Club of India, a member’s club dating back to the 1930s that is housed in an art deco building in southern Mumbai.
Adapting the third floor of this building, Studio Hinge looked to recreate the feeling of “sitting under a tree with a book“ by reimagining the structure’s concrete columns as tree trunks.
Alongside, a former Zumba studio has been updated to be used as a flexible space for book clubs, film screenings and workshops.
