Article source: CUP.scale studio What were the inspirations and key concepts for the development of the project? As I am interested in Thai vernacular architecture that usually feature a wooden structure such as Thai house and barn. I would like to preserve local memory and culture by complementing each other functionally and environmentally. “Boonbun Pocket” is witness of a past era and living examples of specific constructive techniques, styles and materials from other time, especially a wooden structure.which the owner also has a passion for the reuse of wood material in building. Maintaining them is therefore essential in making local communities feel a sense of belonging and shared history, especially if the building is a meeting place in itself and a wide range of activities.

I have to realize the public and the private, minimize the impact of the new building on its surroundings in term of shadows and privacy. So it is elevated from the natural ground level of the site. To make the fluid and flexible activities and circulations are placed in the space with natural air in between. As a limited area of a small building, I designed the building without cantilevers. In total there are 3 areas of the welcome hall, baking kitchen and living room. The specified range of floors and walls by wood sheet which size “1 sok” (50-60cm.) to function as seat, shelf or counter bar. Moreover it was essential to choose size and different types of wooden structure.

To surrounding buildings as the detail below, Span of the column 3×3 m. (width x length) Cantilever 1.5 m. Slab 6×6 m. (width x length) The techniques for the wall structure, placing a window between split walls size 0.5×1.0 m. (width x length) with mixed scrap wood. In addition, because most of wood has already been used once before. Wood become stronger with less moisture in it. This is part of sustainable architecture by material efficiency. Explain briefly: spatial configuration and main reasons. How was it accomplished? Boonbun Pocket is a carefully crafted to express a sense of simple vernacular architecture by both designing a multi-function space and multi-activity area. Meanwhile a proportion of a building determined the perception such as elevation, fenestration, building approach and coordination with woodworkers about the reuse of wood.
