The colors and materials have been chosen in a subtle earth-tone gradient that echoes archaeological sites in central Thailand. The linear bench corresponding to the volume of the ceiling seems to have been shaped directly in the natural reliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5432-X-_WEB-320x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16684\" width=\"1424\" height=\"2135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5432-X-_WEB-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5432-X-_WEB-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5432-X-_WEB.jpg 667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1424px) 100vw, 1424px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering the small area of the site, the designers imagined Ethai Caf\u00e9 as a relaxation space that allows you to take a break and escape the hustle and bustle of city life. To achieve this, &#8220;the project adopts the directional concept of an enveloping geometry&#8221;,&nbsp;specify the architects. The limit with the public space is marked by the lowered ceiling and the bench which unrolls like a ribbon from the inside of the restaurant to form a low wall on the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ethai_layout-679x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16686\" width=\"1167\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ethai_layout-679x480.jpg 679w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ethai_layout-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ethai_layout-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ethai_layout.jpg 1414w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1167px) 100vw, 1167px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5309-X-_WEB-720x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5309-X-_WEB-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5309-X-_WEB-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5309-X-_WEB-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5309-X-_WEB-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5309-X-_WEB-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5309-X-_WEB-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5309-X-_WEB-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5309-X-_WEB.jpg 1501w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>An inviting&nbsp;entrance naturally guides guests into the restaurant. The slightly staggered tables and seats reinforce this sense of &#8220;space within space&#8221;. This arrangement provides&nbsp;customers a&nbsp;certain level of privacy, while remaining connected to the public space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ceiling is designed as a wooden grid, which conceals the lighting of the restaurant. This slightly vaulted structure defines an intimate and friendly space, like a contemporary interpretation of the primitive cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5447-X-_WEB-320x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16690\" width=\"905\" height=\"1358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5447-X-_WEB-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5447-X-_WEB-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5447-X-_WEB.jpg 667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 905px) 100vw, 905px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The selection of materials reinforces the sobriety and tranquility of the place with a palette rich in earthy tones and an alternation between rough and smooth textures. A gradient of rammed earth at the entrance and a coarse terrazzo floor guide customers into the heart of the restaurant. The walls are covered with curved white tiles. Vegetation and wooden furniture reinforce the natural side of the environment. Artwork brings a traditional Thai touch to this coffee shop with contemporary architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5393-X-_WEB-320x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16692\" width=\"1274\" height=\"1911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5393-X-_WEB-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5393-X-_WEB-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DWP5393-X-_WEB.jpg 667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1274px) 100vw, 1274px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photo credit: Dirk Weiblen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Architects: Quarta&amp; Armando<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nestled in the heart of a bustling shopping center in Shanghai, Ethai Caf\u00e9 offers simple and light traditional Thai dishes made with fresh&nbsp;products.
