Coco Buono is the restaurant and coffee shop for Baan Pan-Tai resort at Cha-am, Thailand. We built the new building in the existing site and still keep trees surrounding that the flower from trees call locally - Pan Tai - as the name of the resort.
Because of the old coffee shop was decorated with wood and the owner wants the new one to be fresh look and up-to-date. So we decided to choose the material , white tile , checker board floor, that quite urban-image to wash the old look away but still keep some wood on the ceiling thet relate to the garden. And light it up in the evening to attract passing people on the road.
