BBWORKSPACE's café extension known as The Facets, located in Chiang Mai, uses vibrant, iridescent panels that dynamically reflect colors with light changes throughout the day. This architectural intervention, situated within a gemstone trade district, encapsulates the beauty and tactile qualities of gemstones, translating them into a sensory experience. The original structure, preserved and enhanced with glass blocks, contrasts with a new addition featuring dichroic acrylic panels. Inside, textured surfaces and polished elements recreate the journey of gemstones from their natural state to fine jewelry, offering patrons a one-of-a-kind environment.
The design echoes the structured clarity of a cut gem, creating an immersive experience that reflects the optical and tactile properties of gemstones.
The dual volumes of the café create an interplay between preserved historical structure and a new, vibrant extension that changes color with the sunlight.
