Singha
“Warm amber colour lighting applied to form a second skin of light. The result is to have the whole building levitating, fighting against gravity. The idea of weightlessness in architecture, as a deeply meditative and contemplative experience”
The site, located by the ChaoPhraYa River, is an old factory of Thai craft beer under the brand name Singha. It is owned by Boonrawd Brewery group and has been located on this site since 1967, which currently intends to develop the site into a museum about the history of the brand. The main element of the building is the brass facade and its angular design. The brass facade has a copper-gold colour akin to the colour of beer, one of the starting points for Matteo to work on artfully illuminating the architecture of the site.
Matteo Messervy has collaborated on this project with MPD Studio, who worked on the architecture for the museum. Matteo is also involved in the interior design and landscape lighting design of the museum.
