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.
