NOMBERONE
This project involves the adaptive reuse and renovation of an aging structure located in the vibrant Nimmanhaemin district of Chiang Mai, transforming it into a contemporary milk café. The architectural approach emphasizes openness and permeability, employing expansive glass panels and a fully open ground floor to create seamless spatial continuity between interior and exterior, while enhancing natural light pe*******on throughout the space.
The entry sequence is articulated through a broad, gently cascading staircase that not only facilitates smooth pedestrian access but also functions as informal outdoor seating, integrating architecture with urban street life.
At the building's front, the reception zone is designed with a double-volume ceiling, reinforcing a sense of vertical openness and visual invitation from the street.
The spatial program is organized into three distinct zones—indoor, semi-outdoor, and outdoor—to offer users a range of atmospheres and experiential variety tailored to different modes of use and climatic conditions.
Material selection emphasizes tactility and authenticity, with exposed brick, natural wood, and textured finishes, contrasted with carefully placed warm color accents to articulate the café’s identity and establish a welcoming, recognizable presence within the urban fabric.
