Baan Thai Canteen, counter and illuminated canopy

Light as
architecture.

Baan Thai Canteen translates the archetype of the Thai stilt house into a compact street-food interior. Developed within Imagina Studio from an art direction by Céline Chung, the reference is abstracted into a system of timber frames, stained panels and an illuminated canopy.

A continuous counter organizes service and circulation, while the canopy acts as light source, landmark and sign. Together, the two elements give the compact volume a clear identity from the street and a direct material language inside.
