Sri Varthinii | Coastal Essence Layers of Coconut

An Interior Architecture student exploring retail and experiential design, with a strong interest in nature-inspired spatial narratives.

The project, Coastal Essence Layers of Coconut investigates the translation of natural material layering into interior space creating a spatial experience that responds to product identity and local context. Inspired by the structure of a coconut husk, shell, flesh, and water the design integrates contrasts in texture, transparency, and enclosure to create a journey from protection to nourishment.

Set within Kota Lama Duyung the project reinterprets coastal and tropical elements into a warm, calm, and organic retail environment. Through this work, the student demonstrates the ability to combine conceptual clarity material exploration, and spatial storytelling into a cohesive and immersive design outcome.
