Located at Wacharapol Soi 3, Chonchop-Thantawat Village. The client has been living in this village with parents since he was young. When the family extended, he wanted to build new house on a new land. This house was larger than before for accommodating and supporting new family members.
Located on Soi Prasert Manukitch 25, Bangkok. The project’s surrounding land use is mostly wasteland and dwelling area. The opposite land is a Body Repair & Maintenance Car Garage. Adjacent to the site are cement plant and wasteland. The land plot has two deeds, with one being a square shape and the other a trapezoid shape. The frontage faces towards the west. With Thailand’s tropical climate, design challenge may derive especially with glass or translucent materials.
The Project owner required usable area of approximately 4,000 square meters consisting office and reception lounge. The materials of this project are simple and easy to maintain.
Chiang Mai is a town in the north of Thailand with strong traditions of arts and handicrafts that have been passed down for generations. Brick was a common construction material for the city’s numerous ancient temples and historic buildings but is often neglected in the current architectural design. In addition to the unique Lanna style of Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is also a vibrant contemporary city, with young artistic communities and art galleries.
Located in Chiang Mai, the overall layout of Foothill House takes inspiration from the spatial arrangement of traditional Thai houses where kitchen and services, living room, guest bedrooms, and owner’s bedroom are separated into several units, resulting in a group of buildings connected via an outdoor communal area.
The project initiated from the need to have prominent clubhouse acting as a front gateway of the master plan immediately from main road. The form of this building was designed as sculpture which reflect the dynamic and smooth elements.
According to the owner’s requirement, it is intended to have one and a half floor and serve multipurpose functions easily accessible from the hall including sale office, swimming pool, and fitness on the upper mezzanine floor. The architect pushes two corners of the building in order to create dynamic and smooth space and the form of this building is a direct result of the pushing process. In addition, the building was mirrored to create gateway and attract the interest from outside. To make it easy to construct, the building was cut into each 25-centimeter, comprising of 121 sections altogether. Every section is straight line and it is line up consecutively to create smooth curve. Its main roof structure is a simple steel structure connected with 121 pieces of steel fin which function as the wall and ceiling of the building as well.
KIDO Headquarters is the combination of renovated + newly built project, situated in Bangkok, Thailand from ASWA (Architectural Studio of Work – Aholic). Converting the famous bar into the new headquarters of KIDO, Thailand childcare center chains is the real twist of the architectural program. The design retained the main structure but simplify the visual of the building and cladding with the sustainable material, wood plastic composite.
The building serves as the sale gallery for a condominium project in Bangkok. Due to its proximity to a competitor’s sale gallery, one of the requirements from the Client was that the building must disconnect itself from the competitor. Leaving a generous gap was not an option for functional reasons so the design team decided to angle the building’s orientation away from the main road to create distinction. Aside from achieving the main purpose, the solution provides not only a visual break on a dense urban fabric but also a greenery for the passersby. In line with a large green space provided at the main condominium development as a strong selling point, the sale gallery sets aside some of its land along the street to become a pocket park in a bustling urban area. A simple box was then placed facing the incoming traffic to create a focal point and to balance out the whole architectural composition.
Intelligent Innovation, a leader in telecommunication engineering, wished to build a new office to accommodate more employees, from the current number of 40 people to 85 people in the near future. The company, therefore, purchased a 1,300 SQM of land in Khlong Lam Chiak district. On this plot of land were some old structures such as a large warehouse for keeping second hand car parts on the main road, and a 500 SQM, 3-floor reinforced concrete house at the back of the land. Seeing that the warehouse had quite a strong structure, the project owner wished to convert it to a parking lot. The house would also be brought down to the structure and transformed into an office with an extension added to the front part.

We received only a simple brief from the owners who gave us “a boundless freedom to design a unique house as if it were our own.” Liberated from external constraints, we were free to study and develop a style of architecture that we were personally interested in. Over the last 5-10 years, we have seen that a certain architectural language, in which the external wall and the ceiling converge into an oblique angle, is becoming popular, especially in commercial buildings of real estate projects. However, apart from being on the exterior, this architectural language never appears in the interior of those buildings which are still mostly dominated by an ordinary perpendicular and parallel layout. That being the case, we are curious to see if it is possible to apply this language to other design aspects rather than just for a decorative purpose. From our perspective, to make an architecture express the language as clearly as possible, we have to start from the plan design and the structure. Once the language has been successfully integrated into these two areas, the other elements such as the floor, the wall, the roof, the exterior, and the interior will naturally conform in unison to the style.
ReGEN House – a house where every generation can live together.
Beginning
After living with his parents till the time he has his own family, our client moved out to his own house located opposite his parents’. The very first intention of our client was to renovate the existing house to be suitable for his first-born daughter – Meena. However, after the completion of architectural drawing, our client changed his mind. From his experience, it is not pleasing when it comes to living apart from his parents. Being a new parent makes our client become truly thoughtful about his daughter and her future. Therefore, he bought another land opposite his house and next to his parent’s house, with an effort to create a place where he can live with his child Meena till the time when she has her own family.
