Project Summary

Located in the large commercial/residential district, Nana Coffee Roasters Bangna introduces a cafe design alternative that blurs the boundary between architecture and lush landscape, drawing visitors away from the buzzing Bangna-Trad motorway, redirecting their focus onto the coffee-drinking experience.

Through this concept, the boundaries between three practices, architecture, interior and landscape are blurred. This ‘blurred’ space create undefined areas where Instagram-opportunities is much less important than the visitor’s experience of indulging a high-quality cup of coffee within surrounding nature.

A series of landscape layers helps create micro environment for both human and animals in the area. First, lush greenery protects the property from noises, dusts, pollution, and even vibrations from heavy traffics outside. All existing trees are kept to provide micro climate, reducing overall temperature by a few degrees, compared to the surrounding highways and concrete masses. At certain areas, green landscape got into the interior space, while some furniture extended from interior to each garden terrace, creating illusion of blending interior and exterior space altogether.

At the same time, this urban sanctuary does not only serve human users but also create biodiversity, with many blooming plant species, providing homes and food for local birds and insects, especially bees and stingless bees.
