The LAM cafe in Nha Trang, Vietnam designed by A21 Studio is a bustling bistro that’s not only fascinating because of the simmering cups of coffee that are served to its local guests and tourists, but also because of its design. LAM, which means louvers in English, represents the overall structure of this cafe and it’s architectural concept. The building’s louvers were made to act as load-bearing components as well as timber posts.
