Sabai Today 位於台中永安市場內，一樓是泰國生活選物店，二樓則結合品牌辦公空間。對我們來說，這個案子的有趣之處，在於如何把大家熟悉的「泰國印象」重新轉譯，讓它保有文化辨識度，同時更貼近日常生活。

我們沒有直接複製傳統泰式元素，而是從色彩、材質、光線與生活感出發，以帶有幽默感的方式，重新組合屬於 Sabai Today 的泰式氛圍。

一樓騎樓左側的大面櫥窗，是品牌與街道之間最直接的視覺介面。我們以編織地毯、木百葉與溫潤木質作為背景，讓選品自然成為畫面的主角；整體空間則以帶有奶茶感的橘棕色為主調，搭配米色、木色與局部深色細節，形成一種溫暖、輕鬆，又帶點異國氣息的層次。

這些色彩並不刻意追求濃烈，而是更接近泰國日常裡的溫度：陽光、木頭、織品、植物，以及午後慢慢流動的時間感。希望客人一走進店裡，就能感受到一點熟悉，又有一點離開台中的錯覺。

二樓辦公空間延續一樓的色彩語彙，但在使用上更加自由。我們加入更豐富的色彩與家具配置，讓工作環境保有品牌本身的個性，也避免辦公空間過度制式。

原有陽台則重新退縮整理，放大戶外使用範圍，再加入大量熱帶植栽，讓室內工作區與戶外綠意產生連結。工作到一半可以走出去曬曬太陽、看看植物，或只是短暫放空一下，對需要持續創作的團隊來說，這些片刻其實很重要。

Sabai Today 想傳達的「Sabai」，本來就是一種舒服自在、放鬆的狀態。

Located inside Yong’an Market in Taichung, Sabai Today combines a Thai lifestyle concept store on the ground floor with a brand office on the second floor. For us, the most interesting part of this project was exploring how familiar impressions of Thailand could be reinterpreted into a space that feels culturally recognizable, yet still closely connected to everyday life.

Rather than directly reproducing traditional Thai motifs, we began with color, material, light, and atmosphere, using a subtle sense of humor to reshape the visual language of Thailand into something uniquely Sabai Today.

The large storefront window along the arcade becomes the most direct interface between the brand and the street. Woven rugs, timber blinds, and warm wood textures form a quiet backdrop, allowing the curated products to take center stage. The overall palette is built around a Thai milk-tea-inspired orange-brown tone, complemented by beige, natural wood, and darker accents to create a warm, relaxed, and slightly exotic atmosphere.

The colors are intentionally restrained. They reflect the warmth of everyday Thailand through sunlight, timber, textiles, greenery, and the slow rhythm of an afternoon. We wanted visitors to feel something familiar when they enter, while also experiencing a subtle sense of having momentarily stepped away from Taichung.

The second-floor office continues the color language of the retail space while allowing for greater freedom in its composition. A richer mix of colors and furniture gives the workspace a stronger sense of character and prevents it from feeling overly conventional.

The original balcony was also reconfigured and enlarged to create a more generous outdoor area, filled with tropical plants that visually connect the workspace with greenery. Stepping outside for a little sunlight, looking at the plants, or simply taking a short pause becomes part of the working rhythm—something especially valuable for a team that relies on continuous creativity.
