Bahrain-based Green Corner Building has been named as one of the ten best architectural projects of 2021 by Domus, an international architecture and design magazine.

Green Corner Building, located in Muharraq, was opened in January last year with the support of the UAE to commemorate the Year of Zayed and to promote cultural cooperation between the UAE and Bahrain.

The project is operated under the auspices of Sheikh Ibrahim Centre for Culture and Research. It aims to preserve the historical heritage and cultural assets of the two countries and strengthen their bilateral ties.

The Green Corner project is being transformed into a library housing an archive of art in  Bahrain. It will also be a site for the restoration of artistic documents and the preservation of old books and paintings. The building was designed by the Dutch Architectural firm Studio Ann Holtrup, and the interior design of the building was the work of Ammar Basheir Creative Studio.

The four floors of the building were made by the open casting of concrete. One full floor has been dedicated to the restoration of paintings and old books and manuscripts, another floor is being used for cultural promotion.
