The Octospider

— November 15, 2008 — Art & Design
What a great building to put over a body of water! What a great company cafeteria! The Octospider was designed by the owner of Satin Textiles and Exposure Architects.

The employees of Satin Textiles, a Thai company, eat in the Octospider, a most unique dining hall. The Octospider is 8 meters above the ground and has excellent views of the grounds and surrounding landscape. Employees walk up a ramp that arches from the textile factory--a great momentary escape from their work.
