Sunseeker Bar & Rest
—

The Sunseeker Restaurant, formerly known as Krua Poi, has undergone a remarkable metamorphosis. The client's vision was to transform the existing local traditional seafood restaurant into an upbeat bar and restaurant that celebrated the surfing tiki beach life culture. The redesign's focal point is a wave pattern that flows through the stepping wooden ceiling design, reminiscent of the ocean's majestic waves. This design element encapsulates the essence of the surfing tiki beach life culture and pays homage to Krua Poi's heritage.

The material palette utilized for the design reflects the simplicity of the tiki culture, emphasizing nature's beauty. White polished concrete and plaster form the base tones, representing the vastness of the ocean, while the natural local wood injects warmth and charm, providing an organic feel to the space. The deep blue color is used to accentuate the bar area, bringing to mind the endless possibilities of the sea. The glossy deep blue terracotta clay tiles used for the bar design create a lighting play, illuminating the bar's offerings, much like the sun and its reflections on the waves.
