“Octospider” by Exposure Architects
Octospider was designed by Exposure Architects, a duo formed by Dorit Mizrahi and Oliviero Godi, based in Bergamo. This is where the employees of Satin Textiles, a Thai furnishing textile company, dine.
The cafeteria is raised 8 meters from the ground, overlooks the buildings around it and the landscape.
A ramp springs from the main pedestrian path, reaches the cafeteria and arches down to the weaving factory. It is supported by thin steel pipes, very dense, to blend with the surrounding vegetation that borders the pond.
Two curved ramps rise to meet the bars, angled structure playfully contrasting the regularity of the latter’s structure.
The exterior walkways and cooling effects of the water are appropriate for the Bangkok climate, while adjustable louvres help to control the sunlight penetrating into the dining areas.
