Tree Leaf Tavern + Cosmos Cinema
Experiential Design / Hospitality / Spatial Systems
Role: Founder, Creative Lead, Spatial Designer, Builder, Operator
Scope: Concept, spatial design, construction coordination, branding, AV systems, launch operations
Tree Leaf Tavern + Cosmos Cinema was a multi-level hospitality, entertainment, and remote-work / media venue conceived, designed, built, branded, and operated in Cambodia. I led the project from spatial concept through construction, infrastructure, interior experience, signage, AV systems, and launch operations—combining brand thinking with hands-on physical execution.
CONCEPT + SPATIAL SYSTEM
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
I conceived Tree Leaf Tavern + Cosmos Cinema as an integrated brand, spatial and operating system rather than simply an interior-design project. Beginning with the existing structure and site constraints, I developed the multi-level program, circulation, guest environments and visual identity through architectural visualization and iterative spatial planning.
FROM CONCEPT TO CONSTRUCTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I carried the concept from spatial design and visualization into real-world construction, developing technical drawings, fabrication details and building-system documentation while coordinating directly with local trades and fabricators.
INTERIOR EXPERIENCE + ATMOSPHERE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The finished environment was designed as a premium social venue: part lounge, part cinema, part creative work hub. Lighting, materials, custom steelwork, seating, signage, and media systems were developed as one cohesive guest experience.
LAUNCH + GUEST EXPERIENCE
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
After returning to Cambodia, I completed the finishing work, installed the media systems, developed the brand and signage, launched the bar and entertainment programming, and operated the venue day to day. The result was one of the most distinctive hospitality environments in Otres Beach—built for travelers, digital nomads, cinema, games, karaoke, and social connection.
The completed venue brought together cinema, lounge, bar, media systems, lighting, signage, and social programming into a single branded hospitality experience.
