The shop is located in Chiangmai province. Originally, the site was semi-outdoor has steel structure with metal sheet roof and, has a large tree in the middle. Half of the site is divided into noodle shop. which was previously completed. The other half is reserved for a bakery shop. The area under the tree makes circulation between 2 shops and also used this area for a common area between them.

“Inside out-Outside in” is the design concept of this building to bring nature, light, and wind from the outside into the building meanwhile when stay inside the building can still feel nature outside.

The zone of the bakery shop is divided into outdoor parts, which is a semi-outdoor area with a seating area in front of the shop. and the area under the big tree. The interior of the store is divided into 2 rooms: a bar area, seating area, and a grocery shelf. Another room is the kitchen and a storage room, the kitchen has a large window designed for Show Kitchen so you can see the possibilities in the kitchen. This room is the main kitchen so the size of this room is half of the store. Position of the kitchen is connected to the back of the bar for ease of use and to let the fragrance of the bakery when it’s freshly baked float into the store

The Interior is designed to connect the outside area overlooking the green garden through the noodle shop and can look out to the front of the store you can see people walking around. The bar designed on top of the counter is all flat. Embedded glass cabinet for displaying bakery that is freshly baked every day. The front of the bar is decorated with cream-colored terracotta tiles interspersed with wooden trim. The upper ceiling is decorated with a grid of woven wood, like a croffle, seat, and shelf. choose to use wood material for a natural feeling, warm and livable like stay at home. Because it is a homemade bakery brand so the character of the shop is warm and inviting, like at home. Earth tones color is selected for the building such as white, cream, and brown color, using natural materials such as cement, wood, and terracotta tiles. The surrounding area is arranged with a garden emphasizing trees with green color. The shape of the building was designed with curved & round corners like the shape of a bakery, and the surface of the wall with an irregular texture, like having many layers, was inspired by the surface of the bakery as well.
