គម្រោងកែលម្អហាងម៉ាតឆា និងកាហ្វេ | Nomi: Renewing Space Through Material and Identity
The renovation of Nomi focuses on redefining the café's identity through a series of architectural and interior interventions. While the existing store functioned well, the façade and interior offered an opportunity to better communicate the brand and create a warmer, more engaging environment. The design emphasizes a clearer visual identity, improved materiality, and a more comfortable customer experience without altering the overall footprint.
A new curved Alucobond façade, supported by exposed steel framing, establishes a stronger architectural expression while introducing Nomi's signature matcha green as the primary brand element. The entrance is redesigned to feel more inviting, complemented by illuminated signage that enhances visibility from the street. Inside, warm lighting replaces the existing cool-toned ambience, while pendant fixtures, timber flooring, and integrated branding create a cohesive material palette. Merchandise displays and feature walls are incorporated to strengthen the relationship between the space and the brand.
The upper floor is replanned with distinct seating zones to support different patterns of use, from casual gatherings to working and studying. Furniture layouts are refined to improve circulation and spatial balance, while updated lighting and branded elements provide continuity across both levels. Together, these interventions create a café that feels cohesive, recognizable, and better aligned with Nomi's identity.
