Norea RiverLight — a riverside food destination in Norea City

Set along the waterfront with expansive views of the Mekong, RiverLight brings multiple dining experiences into one clear, monolithic structure. The architecture follows a Brutalist-minimal direction, where the building’s concrete, structure, and details are shown as they are—no decorative layers, just form, proportion, and craft.

Recessed frames and deep voids create shade and a steady rhythm of light and shadow throughout the day. Up close, the roughness of concrete and sharp structural joins reinforce the idea of restraint. From the riverfront edge to the upper levels, the building shifts from grounded and civic to open and panoramic—ready for the energy of the brands it holds.

BROWN IB KPS sits on a concealed hillside near Independence Beach Hotel, screened by mature trees and thick vegetation. In context and intent, the project renews an overlooked pocket of land into a cozy place for communal gathering—guided by sea air, hillside solidity, and lush vegetation.

In architecture and experience, two horizontal concrete slabs emerge from the terrain and are enclosed by fully transparent walls, dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior. A linear concrete plane marks arrival as a quiet emergence from the hillside. The balcony becomes a mediating threshold to the landscape, with built-in concrete bench seating that carries a familiar, domestic comfort.

In the interior–exterior relationship, a ceiling feature shaped by the hillside’s contour lines gradually lowers toward the counter, drawing visitors inward and creating intimacy. Light, greenery, mature trees, and distant sea views permeate the space—so movement unfolds through openness and layered transparency.

Brown GDT Tower (General Department of Taxation) | The Wooden Interlocking Pavilion That Connects

ទ្រនំឈើស្នៀត Pavilion—a standalone structure of interlocked wooden pieces, a pavilion built on connection. In modern office environments, cafés aren't just coffee stops. They're extensions of meeting grounds, spaces that shift atmosphere, nurture productivity, and encourage ideas to flow.

Respecting of space and need, our design reflects the spirit of Khmer wooden joinery. Each wooden piece slides into place, locked by wedges, forming a self-supported pavilion. Within GDT's glass corporate landscape, the warm wooden pavilion invites people to gather and connect over coffee.

Project Type: F&B
Client: Brown Coffee
Location: GDT Tower, OCIC Satellite City, Chroy Changvar
Completion: 2026

បណ្ណាល័យស្ថាបត្យកម្មក្នុងផ្ទះលោកតា វណ្ណ ម៉ូលីវណ្ណ

We transformed a room in Vann Molyvann House into a library to preserve knowledge and support Cambodia’s emerging architects and students. The bookshelf reinterprets the home’s brise-soleil façade as a modular shelving system, using vertical steel pipes painted to match the original cream-toned windows and local hardwood shelves (បញ្ឆិតបញ្ឈរ) to bring warmth to the space and Vann Molyvann’s original chair has been reimagined as a reading chair.

We are honored to contribute this space in kind as the first program of Living Structures 2026—an effort to give back through education, conversation, and shared access to architectural knowledge. Dedicated to លោកតា វណ្ណ ម៉ូលីវណ្ណ, the library welcomes students, practitioners, researchers, and the public to learn and exchange ideas within the house that carries his legacy.

A place to learn from the past, and shape what comes next.

Opening hours:
📅 Wednesday – Sunday
⏰ 9:00 AM - 12 PM, 1 PM - 6:00 PM
📍 Brown Coffee, Mao Tse Toung, Vann Molyvann House, Phnom Penh
