SALADAENG ONE

Soi Saladaeng, Bangkok, Thailand High Rise Condominium

Year : 2015 Designer : Client : Status : Completed All Stage (Conceptual design to Construction)

“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 -

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.

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.

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 Archi tecture. 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.

The Vacation home of Bel Vedere tile’s CEO and his family in Nakhon Ratchasima, the tourist attraction province. The house design concept is separated zoning into 3 wings are family wing, guest wing, and central wing as a multipurpose area or meditation area for the retirement CEO.

Study Model

The project site is on a Khaoyai mountain that makes we should design the house related to topography.

According to the existing contour and vacation home design concept, after zoning design (3 wings) we put the parking lots, service rooms, and mechanical rooms under the house and swim ming pool pavilion at the highest level of the site that makes the family wings have more privacy with the mountain view. The swimming pool is design to 2 levels to make “White noise” from water over flow that related to the Meditation Room at Central wings

WOODSMITH

Wongsawang, Bangkok, Thailand Commercial building

Year : 2015

Status : Completed Designer : Client : All Stage (Conceptual design to Construction)

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 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 factory

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.

JIN WELLBEING COUNTY

Klong Luang, Pathumthani, Thailand Masterplan and Condominiums

Year : 2016 Status : Phase 1 Completed Designer : Client : All Stage (Conceptual design to Construction)

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 residen tial architecture expert among related expertises, such as senior living consultant, medical equipment consultant, hospital experts, and facility management team.

OPNBX JWC

Phase 1 - low-rise residences condominiums, medical clinic, clubhouses, sports and rehabilitation fa cilities,

Phase 2 - Mid-rise apartments, senior day care and medical facilities, Phase 3 - High-rise commercial facilities, full scale hospital, and community mall.

The project scale could be great benefit in many ways. First is by focus sing 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 im portant 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 embed ded among the trees and landscape space for residences to explore.

Development for LIFE

After a few design discussion, we real ised that the design created for specif ic functions and certain demographics is Western. Developments in East pre fer flexibilities in functions and target groups, because mixed use concept for developments go way back in histo ry.

THE BASE SAPHANMAI - SALES GALLERY

Saphanmai, Bangkok, Thailand

Year : 2017

Status : Completed

Condominiums Sales gallery

Designer : Client : Project Architect (All Stage)

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.

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”

The project is located in the center of Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri KhaWn province. Surrounded by the night markets and only 250 meters from the sea, we designed the Masterplan consists a group of condominiums in a C-shaped layout with the opening face towards the sea, surrounding a large swimming pool and the main lobby.

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.

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.

The overall façade design concept still continues to use the language of European architec tural 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.

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 swimming pool in the project is divided into 2 levels are the larger area of the swimming pool (Ocean Havana Pool) on the ground floor is located right after walking through the lobby. The large pool can also be accessed from the ground floor units in Building A and the fitness room. 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.

The colors throughout the main building are a selection of six shades of beige colors. In addition to help relating to Cuban buildings, the brushed color texture and colorful tinted have been applied throughout the project such as the gaps, end of corridor, inside the colonnades, and fire exit stairs to capture the vibrancy of Havana City.

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.

OPNBX

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 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.

From the main street passing the front of the headquarters office and through the entrance road, the sculptures creates a strong presence with the awareness as intended.More than just a visual landmark ,the sculptures symbolised a connection between engineering and art, that should be perceived as “ONE”.

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, ter race gardens and roof gardens. In harmo ny 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 every one in this Yangon city.
