Chonburi Sila House is located in an industrial city of Chonburi just right on a couple of highways connecting most of the country’s factories to the country’s capital. Being surrounded by a number of quarries, factories, warehouses and heavy duty highways, Chonburi Sila House faced with some design challenges where living condition is not an ideal. Given the rigid nature of the house’s context, the northern, eastern and western faces of the house have to be mostly shielded from a heavy amount of dust and traffic pollution from the highways while also blocking the occupants from a view of a neighboring industrial junkyard and industrial trucks that run the highways 24 hours a day leaving only the southern face free to be open. Fortunately, the south facing side is a residence and is green enough for us to take advantage from.
