Lost in Phnom Penh

Location: Basac Lane (Phnom Penh)
Status: Completed in 2025
Scope: Designed & Built
Project Overview: From Coffee to Cocktails
Located in the heart of Bassac Lane, Core-Elements was tasked with transforming an initial concept into a fully functional, dual-purpose space. Our scope was to refine the design to ensure it serves as a bright, welcoming coffee shop by day and a sophisticated bar by night, all while staying within the client's budget.
Design Vision
We envisioned a sleek, high-tech aesthetic that reflects a premium brand identity. The goal was to create a space that feels modern, innovative, and adaptable.
Key Design Elements
-
Materials & Color: A bold black palette paired with mirrored panels and stone accents for a luxurious, modern feel.
-
Adaptive Lighting: Neon signs and light panels highlight the menu by day and create a vibrant, moody atmosphere for the evening bar.
-
Bar Counter: A clean, functional counter design that keeps the focus on the coffee machine and display cases.
