Finolhu’s opens Art Lab and Teens Hut designed by Muza Lab

Designed to inspire creativity and connection, the Art Lab and Teens Hut reflect Muza Lab’s signature style of weaving culture, colour, and storytelling into spaces. The two buildings harmoniously merge modern aesthetics with Maldivian heritage.

Muza Lab chose bamboo as the main material for both structures as it is environmentally friendly and easy to manipulate, ensuring the interiors’ colourful decorations truly stand out against natural bamboo tones. The spaces have been fitted with a variety of textures and colours to stimulate the mind and body and allow creativity to flow freely.

The Art Lab

The new Art Lab invites guests of all ages to unleash their creativity. Tucked in dense greenery, the studio offers guided workshops in painting and pottery. The bespoke design fosters a creative environment, featuring bamboo structures, bright open spaces, and Maldivian touches. For Muza Lab it was important for guest to be able to feel relaxed with their toes in the sand while working on their next creative art piece.

The Teens Hut

Catering to the resort’s younger guests, the Teens Hut is a dynamic space that blends fun with relaxation. Designed for teenagers aged 12 to 17, the club features cutting-edge gaming zones, a bar embellished with shells and sea glass, = as well as enjoy a movie lounge, an outdoor games area and a music haven on the second floor, with a stage, a variety of instruments and a karaoke machine.

Muza Lab focused on fitting the space with furniture that would be appealing to the “TikTok-able” or “Instagramable” generation. However, it was also essential to Muza Lab and Finolhu to provide enough activities and amenities to bring teens away from their digital devices and enjoy the space around them and each other.

“I believe these spaces were created to be more inclusive and are designed to be used by guests. They aren’t just something to look at. It also provides opportunity for workshops and meetings as well as community by interacting with other guests in a collaborative environment.” says Inge Moore, Founder of Muza Lab.
