Reclaimed wood fashioned into panels covers this small cafe designed by CUP Scale Studio in the centre of Nakhon Sawan, Thailand.
Called Boobun Pocket Cafe, the compact building comprises a coffee bar on the ground floor and seating areas on its upper storeys that are formed from interlocking wooden platforms.

CUP Scale Studio 设计的建筑坐落在一块 10 X10 米的地块上，位于两栋私人房产后面，面向北南浦区一条繁忙的道路。
CUP Scale Studio designed the building to slot into a 10-metre-by-10-metre plot, which is nestled behind two private properties fronting a busy road in the Pak Nam Pho district.
The cafe is raised above the ground on a small plinth and open at its base. This creates an open public space and entrance to the building that helps reduce internal temperatures.

工作室成员说：“建筑下的高架空间是一个连接活动的公共空间。”
“抬高地面将可用区域分隔开来，在狭小的空间内实现最大化利用。”
"The raised space under the building is a public space to connect activities," the studio told Dezeen.
"Elevating the floor creates a separation of usable areas for maximum use in a small space."

Boobun Pocket咖啡馆的外墙由店主收集的回收热带硬木板材制成。这些板材属于 Teng 和 Mai Daeng 硬木品种，具有独特的红色。
外墙呈网格状，带有独特的弧形拐角和窗台，让光线能够进入上层座位区。
Boobun Pocket Cafe's facades are made from panels of recycled tropical hardwood collected by the owner. These are of the Teng and Mai Daeng hardwood varieties, which have a distinctive reddish hue.
The facade is gridded, with distinctive curved corners and clerestory windows to bring light into the upper seating areas.

红钢工字梁支撑着楼层和外墙。四根主立柱嵌入立面，贯穿整座建筑。

木制楼梯通向错落有致的半落地窗和座位区的壁龛，工作室称其为咖啡馆的“客厅”。
室内的一个焦点是一个采光空间，它有助于照亮座位区。
Red-steel I-beams support the floors and the facade. The four primary columns are inset from the elevation and rise up through the building.
On entering Boobun Pocket Cafe, a coffee counter and bakery shelves line the back wall of the open ground floor. Landscaped borders define the perimeter.
Wooden stairs lead to staggered half-landings and niches in the seating areas, described by the studio as a "living room", for visitors to the cafe.
A focal point of the interior is a lightwell that helps to illuminate the seating areas.

咖啡馆凸起的形式借鉴了泰国本土建筑技术，风从建筑下方穿过，有助于降低内部温度。
抬高建筑还能够最大限度地减少会导致木材收缩的湿气，并防止白蚁破坏外墙。
The raised form of the cafe is informed by Thai vernacular architectural techniques, in which wind passes under the building to help reduce internal temperatures.
Raising the building also helps to minimise the moisture that would cause the wood to shrink and prevents termites from damaging the facades.
