‘Reconnecting Urban Life with Nature Through A Flowing Shopping Experience’.
The sheer size of Megabangna shopping complex is as large as a small town. Its central building is perceived as a downtown, whereas Foodwalk zone on the east wing is portrayed as countryside with more green areas and canals. The new extension of retail zone located on the eastern periphery beyond the existing zone could then be conceptualized as a ‘Valley’, one of the most pleasant natural topography in which its intimate central space is enclosed by continuous frontage of lushly mountains.
The architectural concept of the new extension, ‘The Valley’, therefore derives from the geographic character of its metaphor. To create similar atmosphere to a natural valley, the layout of the new open-air mall is composed around a central courtyard space, in which a sunken plaza with an amphitheatre down below acts as a customers’ main social space for gathering and holding all kinds of events.
The project is in Latkrabang district, only fifteen minutes away from Suvarnabhumi Airport by car. Since the main airport moved from northern Bangkok, Don Mueang, to this southern suburb ten years ago, this medium-sized, semi-industrial communities and residential areas have significantly been transformed into a new phase.
These conditions and factors encourage the construction of this project in order to support urban growth. On the plot of 313 square wah land on Latkrabang Road where the front faces 6 lanes on the south, the 3,377 square-meter utility space consists of 68 rooms in 7 patterns.
The project is located on Srinakarin Road, one of the main roads of Southern Bangkok not far from Suvarnabhumi Airport with connection to the airport rail link. It targets at both travelers who stay within this semi-suburban area and who would make a journey further to the central. Lining in a row on the narrow plot of land, this 7-storey hotel with rooftop is divided into two buildings, connecting by a hotel lobby. The second floor consists of a dining area and a service counter while 92 guest rooms are on the upper floors. On the rooftop of the front building is a place for a control room but the rooftop of the back building provides space for meeting and banquet. The overall utility space is 5,365 square meters.
Located at Mapthraputh district, Rayong province which most of the area are factory site. By having industrial estate and divided out into external land. Exion Workshops is the factory located at outside of industrial estate by the surrounding environment is clear, consist of some agriculture zones and residences.
The architect received a task from project owner to do a Layout. The project want to determine the size of factory building or operation building which consist of 24 meters width and 48 meters depth. It is the standard of factory to reduce construction cost and is the most suitable size for the operation. The architect then select to fit as much building as possible which will use to build in near future. The plan area, architect placed 3 operation buildings by leaving the front area for parking lot and office and prepare the backside of the project for the accommodation of some workers.
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.
Dersyn Studio major values in design arise from 2 words “design + synchronization” which demonstrated in the design outcomes of our office. Detail design are key methodologies which used to deliver our main values and also play an important role in any project done by Dersyn Studio, especially in space and area design. Z9 Resort, one of our famous project, could be the appropriate example for our major values implementation and also show the relationship between construction details and architectural space.
What should be considered as the main actor in resort designing? Resort buildings themselves or natural context, in term of their surroundings? The building might be considered as the main actor of resort designing based upon most designer opinion. However Dersyn Studio strongly believes that the natural context should play the most important role in resort designing and resort buildings should be just a supporting actors. The relationship between natural contexts and resort buildings, based on Dersyn’s point of view, is like the relationship of the most famous painting (natural contexts) and its frame (resort building). Similarly, good detail design as well as good planning will frame nice and live able architectural space like the common area at Z9 Resort. Due to the shading from existing big tree, guess from any age can use this area and spend their times together. The elderly can enjoy their “Tai Chi” while their descendant can enjoy reading and running at this common area. These activities are also the real meaning of live able architectural space.
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 client, a couple with four children and their grandmother, wanted a property suitable for accommodating all three generations under one roof. The challenge was to design a home in which the family could enjoy each other’s company without having to compromise freedom, differing needs and privacy.
As well as privacy, the maximization of views from every room and low energy consumption were the main aims. These priorities were achieved by providing cross ventilation throughout the house to reduce the reliance on air-conditioning; adding a double-sided wall with air gap in between to reduce heat gain on both the east and west side; and solar panels to provide hot water for the whole house.
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.
