"Meshek by Yellow Architects is the adaptive of a former storage fridge into a contemporary hospitality space. The project reinterprets the existing industrial structure through a restrained material palette and precise architectural interventions, balancing references to the building's original function with updated spatial requirements. Corrugated metal wall cladding is introduced as a direct reference to the former refrigeration units, preserving the industrial character of the space. This is complemented by exposed lighting systems and polished flooring, which reinforce the utilitarian logic of the original structure."
"A centrally positioned dining organizes the interior and establishes the space as a site for gathering and social exchange. Rather than erasing the building's past, the design retains and reinterprets its material and spatial identity, allowing the former storage facility to operate as a contemporary hospitality environment while remaining legible as an industrial structure adapted for new use. The intervention prioritizes minimal structural alteration, allowing the existing building to remain the primary spatial framework."
Meshek converts a former cold-storage vegetable fridge into a contemporary hospitality space by retaining the industrial character while meeting new functional needs. Corrugated metal cladding, exposed lighting, and polished flooring reference the former refrigeration function and reinforce the utilitarian logic of the space. Natural light and a centrally positioned dining area temper material hardness and organize the interior for gathering and social exchange. Minimal structural alterations keep the existing building as the primary spatial framework, while selectively introduced new elements are clearly distinguished from the original frame. Reuse and continuity remain central strategies.
