A08 COFFEE SHOP

The small coffee shop in Ubon Ratchathani is conceived as the giant banyan tree appreciation device. The structure “opens” itself up towards the tree offering a beautiful view multiplied by reflective pond located in the middle of the project. Geometric structure references the branches and organizes the table layout inside. Heavy backwall of the project integrates all the supporting functions and provides solid enclosure of the project clearly dividing surrounding and the “under the tree” area. Water, wood and concrete are only applied materials, each in their respective natural form.
