As I am interested in Thai vernacular architecture that usually feature a wooden structure such as Thai house and barn. I would like to preserve local memory and culture by complementing each other functionally and environmentally. “Boonbun Pocket” is witness of a past era and living examples of specific constructive techniques, styles and materials from other time, especially a wooden structure.which the owner also has a passion for the reuse of wood material in building. Maintaining them is therefore essential in making local communities feel a sense of belonging and shared history, especially if the building is a meeting place in itself and a wide range of activities.

Sugar Fox is a neighborhood ice cream shop and bakery that offers a warm and fun atmosphere with pops of color and moments of whimsy. The owners of Little Red Fox collaborated with CORE to deliver a design that pays special attention to intuitive customer flow and efficient workspaces.

The service counter translates into a compact and functional workspace, offering guests several flavors of ice cream, soft serve, and cakes, along with a variety of cone, cup, and sprinkle accessories. The menu signage is visible from all angles and ice cream toppings and cones in vertical dispensers are on display right below.

The existing building consisted of adobe walls and a timber roof with byzantine tiles as covers.
