SALADAENG ONE

“Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it. I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” - Michelangelo -

SALADAENG ONE

The key words Elegance and Timelessness inspire to use the impression of white Marble, the classic stone that has been well known around the World as a timeless symbol of luxury in architecture and design. To apply such concept for the architecture of this modern time, Simplicity becomes inevitable. The overall massing concept starts from local building guideline. The result is a simple, stepping, block of marble, with multiple terrains, overlooking skyline sceneries at different levels. After that, marble carving, sculpting process begins.

06 The concept of Tropical High Rise is then applied to the design. The first tropical feature is unique horizontal shading fins. They help to reduce glare and shield large windows from rain. Gradient of fins thickness create a dynamic touch to the overall composition and a refreshing touch to the skyline.

Gradient of Fins thickness

Angled bay window is another feature that responds directly to complexity of urban surroundings, residential preference and tropical orientation. In simple words, all windows tilt and turn individually towards the best view, away from obstructing neighbors and excessive Sunlight. The result is a complex texture on the façade, reflecting sky colors from different angles inserted between horizontal fins. This also creates Angles Bay Window space which is surprisingly functional and very unique from inside residential units.

Complex combinations of Horizontal shading fins, and Angled Bay Windows inserted in between create a fine contrast to the overall architectural composition. This also reflects complexity in spirits of residential high-rise. Above all, these elements make this building an Energy Efficient Architecture. As windows and terraces are protected from glare, excessive Sunlight and rain, it also helps to reduce the energy for air conditioning. Large windows can remain open without blinds or curtain, allowing Sunlight to fuse into the space during the day, reducing the energy for internal lighting.

WOODSMITH Museum is an extended part of Vanachai Headquarters Office Project that OPNBX has completed for almost a decade. The new program to turn an existing warehouse into a company’s museum and shop front. The important part of the brief is to create an Identity design for new retail brand for construction materials.

Pattern of forest

WOODSMITH

Layout

The original philosophy of “The Victory in saving forest” that roots deeply, begin to resonate again, but with fresher, younger appearances. As existing structures, and the regulations post many limitations, it is ironic that ‘the more the limitations, the easier it gets to design’. Fated or co-incident, this was also how Vanachai Headquarters Office Architecture came about, by letting limitations shape the architecture. The brief was for OPNBX to fully utilize the Architecture, Landscape, and Interior design to create a commercial compound behind the the existing head quarters office. All aspects of design work must represent the same core identity. The idea to renovate the existing warehouse into a live museum with an integrated shop and warehouse was the first programatic solution, and the start of the project.

“WOODSMITH” the new artificial wood brand from Vanachai.

Shape, Form, Materiality The first impression of the architecture start with a familiar sharp angle forms, symbolising the form of timber wedged in the old lumber days. The external materials are mostly in metal cladding, and standard size trellis section in a few shades of timber brown colours. Even the entrance grand staircase is all in steel, creating the industrial impression of factories and productions. It is ironic that industrial metallic based materials could come together with the right use of shapes, forms and colours, to form an undeniable identity and impression of timber business.

Senior Living is growing into a new development type, as Thailand and many ASEAN countries are moving into the age of Senior Living. OPNBX has been asked to join this project team as a residential architecture expert among related expertises, such as senior living consultant, medical equipment consultant, hospital experts, and facility management team.

JIN WELLBEING COUNTY

Phase 1 - low-rise residences condominiums, medical clinic, clubhouses, sports and rehabilitation facilities, Phase 2 - Mid-rise apartments, senior day care and medical facilities, Phase 3 - High-rise commercial facilities, full scale hospital, and community mall.

JIN WELLBEING COUNTY

The project scale could be great benefit in many ways. First is by focussing on the variety of facilities, functions and people that is possible only at this scale. This would also make the project feels more rounded, almost like a sustainable, small town. Second is by focussing on shared open space that is becoming very important in current urban living. The first key idea was to provide 50% green area, which should be so large, it would feel like a large public park with a few residential buildings hidden inside.

Natural and Functional Landscape With so much landscape, Jin Wellbeing County becomes a green development with cleaner air, better environment, and great outdoor space residence to live outside, where may activities were planned and embedded among the trees and landscape space for residences to explore. Development for LIFE After a few design discussion, we realised that the design created for specific functions and certain demographics is Western. Developments in East prefer flexibilities in functions and target groups, because mixed use concept for developments go way back in history. Not room unit but it’s a small house

Naturally, human and nature both have various conflict within themselves and towards each other. It may be viewed negatively, however, within the confrontation, there is beauty more than meets the eyes. Therefore, the word “Irony” is a main part of the conceptual design. It is a method to architecturally bring excitement beyond expectation, while still maintaining its overall aesthetic. The key aesthetic element in the project was inspired from the concept of “Feminism”. Once the gentleness is explored, there is more value than meets the eyes. Similar to the idea a tattooed lady in a dress, it is the contradiction that is attractive and brings out the urge to explore.

The pavilion which is being used as a Co-Working Space. The facade of the pavilion consists of expanded metal to resemblance of a light fabric.To enhance the concept, the expanded metal is altered from a naturally straight sheet into a dynamic curve to indicate the gentleness of a pavilion.It is a way to dematerialized its natural form of a material.By doing so, it is a way to challenge our perception and idea of how the material can do apart from its natural state.As an result, it is a way to create visual irony, which relates back to the main concept of the project.

After being discovered by Christopher Columbus, Spain colonized Cuba from 1511until the beginning of the 20th Century, when they were able to gain independence from Fidel Castro and Che Guevara with the aid from the United States.With the support from the States, the influence completely dominated Cuba’s economic, social, and political systems. Cuban culture were established from the diversity of indigenous people, African slaves, and European immigrants.With these combinations, the culture was designed under the concept of “Eclectic Design”

Lobby - Sales Gallery Upon entering the project, the first encounter is a pavilion decorated in Havana café style, which serves both as the sales gallery and the lobby of the project. The concept of the design begins with the “Eclectic Design” keyword that arises from a combination of European architectural elements, Cuban historical traces, and vibrancy of Cuba. Instead of using the European architectural elements, we decided to simplify the component while still possessing the principle of European architecture by substitute the cornice and arch colonnades with bending steel sheets. The steel sheet was inspired by the wrought iron that were used throughout Havana’s buildings. To elevate the concept even further, the use of rustic colors on the façade was intended to create a texture similarly to the historical scar on the buildings of Havana city. The large six meters tall wooden door with a small hidden door at the building entrance was also a direct link to the doors that can be found in the houses in Havana. The inner walls are painted in brushed green color contrasting the rusted steel arch colonnades to help reflect the diversity of the Cubans.

Building’s corner language Main Building (Condominium) Residential buildings in the project consists of three low-rise buildings surrounding the courtyard and the Terrain Villa building in the middle of the courtyard connecting to the swimming pool. The low-rise buildings were designed to have a gap in each part of the building to create cross ventilation and reduce the building’s massive appearance. Furthermore, the mass of the building is twisted facing the sea to create an appearance as if there were more building mass in groups similar to Havana city.

LA HABANA

Approaching from public road The overall façade design concept still continues to use the language of European architectural components. For instance, the first three floors of the Low-rise building are implemented with large arch colonnades. Moreover, the European cornice is used to divide up the façade in different shades of color similarly to the horizon line of Havana City.

Triangular balcony facing to sea view

In some units of building A and C, the balconies are angled facing the sea with the railing proportion similar to the wooden balconies on some of the houses in Havana.It also helped to visually dividing up the building’s mass as well.

The second area of the pool is located on the 2nd floor of Building C that can also be accessed from Building B and D through a bridge surrounded by various trees. Underneath the smaller pool is where the main swimming pool machine room is located. It can act as a buffer between the facilities area and the car park under Building C.

Moreover, there are also more direct correlations to the Havana architecture in the details of the project, such as the wrought iron used in balcony railings, CDU grills, and decorated window railings.

OPENBOX design team studied the headquarters layout and proposed to create two multifunction objects at the office parking areas, at the most visible location from the main road. We will create a parking roof, completed with solar panels in a form of a stunning sculpture.

THE POWER WING

B.Grimm Power is the leading professional firm in solar energy, the company’s headquarters emphasis is using the solar panel and solar farm. The design is integration between architecture and nature. In order to create a more dynamic form, each solar panel was arranged in various angles according to energy waves. Also, it’s inspired from B.Grimm corporate’s value, the solar panel demonstrates the unity of people in their corporation.

THE POWER WING

The piece of art itself will express engineering aesthetics by revealing a steel skeleton of a 50 meters piece of art with only 2 columns, and grand cantilever, combined with solar panels installations. This symbolised mankind’s achievements in structural and energy engineering.Under side of the structure,are dashes of terracotta orange that stand for B.Grimm Power color identity.

Urban relationships Historical relations at the city level of Yangon have many important religious places such as the Shwedagon Pagoda, etc. and an important port with the Yangon River That is an important river In the transportation of goods.

Park , Lake and Green area The concept of Green terrain is a landscape architecture design concept to make the podium become a virtual ‘Green mountains’ in the middle of the city. Caused by the need for green space that is not enough of the city.That made we create common areas and private areas of each unit into a green space.Step from ground floor to vertical gardens, terrace gardens and roof gardens. In harmony with the shape of a building that is like a hill Continuing from the 1st to the 31st floor and roof floor that share the green view to everyone in the building including everyone in this Yangon city. Urban Linkage Connection The project area is near train stations and bus stops that forming an Axis to connect people from around the project and arise an intersection that comes about the center of each zone to be a Node, Court, Plaza. Furthermore, the axis makes the flow of circulation also.

Feasibility study The project site is a triangle shape beside the greenery Thap Taeng canal. The design has various options of feasibility study according to CPN development’s brief such as 2 high-rise buildings, 2 high-rise towers 1 podium, 1 supertower, mid-rise building, etc.

The design concept begins from Ayutthaya vibes to modern architecture style and because of Ayutthaya’s historical value, we want to design the building not disrupt the Ayutthaya skyline.

The tower design uses white color mostly to make it’s disappeared from the sky like a religious place in the first Ayutthaya era that does not break into inner bricklayers. Furthermore, break the mass to see the golden ceiling that is inserted in each part of the tower as an interior decoration of the Thai temple. The podium and landscape design blends in by brick material, the podium was designed to be a floating huge brick and broke into many parts in the landscape around the building and also design a lobby space like a terrace of Thai Vernacular house.
