“The consciousness of architectural boundary definition”
Boonma is a renovate program of cafe building originally located on a hill land .The 6 meters high of existing building is blend with a massively private forest and the atmosphere of the disordered natural landscape.
We very conscious to start with design an ordinary element likes external wall system to use as basic element that determines the boundary of architecture and landscape but in the same time creates blur and dilution plane to link between inside and outside area,too.
Sher Maker created 6-meter exterior curtain high as the original building. Run follow the curve using the radius of the original building to determine the shape Insert between the original landscape and hang materials like opaque plastic curtains to disguise the building from the entrance.
The main entrance surface is covered with a mirror to dissolve the image of existing buildings by borrowing landscape context to mapping on building as new elevation.
This mirror effect created an encircles from for exterior curtain by the reflection.
Exterior Curtain has two functions. The first is to create a new boundary for the architecture and landscape. And another function is an Interactive tangible wall for people can touch and open the curtain by themselves to entering the building. It is another simple way to create interaction between people and space they will entering.
Due to the context, shady and full of trees. Interior is designed to use dark at reflect finishing in cafe area and wrap some opening with light filter material, The black agriculture mesh use for reducing the light that entering the building. All interior mood mainly to give the most prominent view of the people inside is brightness and landscapes from the external terrace.
