Renovation project, an old building reconditioning into a cocktails bar in Suphanburi,Thailand (agricultural province in north west from Bangkok)
An old shop house re-painted in black to blend in darkness at night and contrast with lightings creates dimensions from outside and the entrance where destination is.
Façade made with metal sheets and perforated metal sheets that also perform as the capital letter of the shop name. M stands for Madam and N stands for Neing. The entrance designed into a tunnel that leads from outside-in creates continuity between two spaces and reduce space from high ceiling alter the experience to be more cozy and lower down the eyesight to maintain focus with the bar. 6 meters long L shaped bar serves as main stage for customers to exchange knowledge and information about cocktails with bartenders.
The interior decorated into steampunk theme with utilization of copper pipes, steel frames and obsoleted agricultural tools such as reels and turbines. Sidewall decorated with steel pipes staged in pattern. In the backend, curved wooden wall with arch doorway accommodate the mood and introduce coziness by reducing rawness of steel structure.
