The starting point of this project is when owner wants to convert their house to be a Cafe & Coffee shop. The location its own are unique with deadened road and its located near Chiang Mai international airport.
By designing to catch first impression, Designer created an interesting Facade to be a very outstanding and linked the inner space, Bring natural lights from both direct and indirect to help improvise space inside.The site give an idea of transferring from one place to another, just like airport and its become a design theme of a transit space which later to be a coffee shop name “ Transit no.8 ”
Having Facade as a gateway to welcome guest before bringing them to the high ceiling coffee bar area, using most recognized items to be part of functional design such as, railing, from a huge escalator which we normally see in the airport / Cabin and boarding area as a seating area.
