Nana Central Westville branch is a cafe of Nana Coffee Roasters, a well known cafe brand in Thailand. Situated as a stand-alone building on the same site as Central Westville, a shopping center in the outskirts of Bangkok, the main challenge was to create a remarkable space infused with the story of Nana brand within the limited space of 150 square meters.
The concept of this cafe was based on the conversation with the owner during an interview, where he talked about the origin story of Nana and the metaphors of “seeing the light at the end of the tunnel” as his business started to become more stable. This conversation led to the discussion about caves and the limitation of space that comes with this brief. Despite the size, we wanted to create a remarkable architecture, hence, we tried to create “space within space” with various volumes to imitate the interior of a cave. The “negative spaces” are then filled with the interlocking structure in the form of the “waffle grid” made from “High Moisture Resistance Boards” (HMR) to define the space and highlight the volumes of the interior. Lightings are designed to fit within these grids that are in dark gray with slightly rough texture to represent the natural rock surfaces inside of caves.
In terms of layout, visitors enter the cafe into the main volume which is the largest, this volume is interconnected to other smaller volumes deeper into the building. A mezzanine is added for additional seating but to also create a sense of privacy and a space to explore for the visitors. This project combines the architecture and interior design into one entirety with the essence of surprise in the interior volumes which could not be imagined from the exterior. We intended for the facade to be quite enclosed to create an element of surprise as guests enter into the interior spaces but additionally, so that lighting can be controlled. The building is wrapped with real stone veneer that has been curved to create interesting shadows on the facade. Overall this gives the impression of the building as a large solid rock which sparks a sense of curiosity for the visitors and urges them to explore further into the interior.
The white zone on the mezzanine is designed to be a meeting zone for groups, it can also be used for other activities such as Cupping etc. There is a wall mural in this zone illustrating the journey of the Nana Coffee Roasters brand from its beginning till today which is inspired by ancient cave paintings. Metaphorically, this area represents the start of civilization and the development of culture. We decided to make this area in white to illustrate the contrast between the birth of civilization and the darker naturalistic zone of the natural cave.
We designed all of the architecture, interior and the signage for this cafe, therefore the delivery of concept into the actual built project is quite prominent, similar to our works in the other branches. In terms of furniture arrangements we created different groupings of large and small to fit with the various volumes of the interior. The furniture used are also rounded or with round forms to emphasize on the organic theme but to also help to define space, creating different zones within the interior.
