Naidi Community Hall / CAUKIN Studio

Naidi village, located on Vanua Levu in Fiji, had been without a community hall for 7 years when their previous community hall fell into disrepair and was deemed unsafe for use. In the wake of this, the project came to fruition when a local NGO, the Naqaqa Giving Foundation approached CAUKIN Studio. Serving a village of 400 people and 75 households, the hall’s main function was to provide a space for the community to come together for meetings, celebrations, funerals, and weddings. In Fijian culture, the community hall is the cultural and operational heart of a village.
