This house was originally designed for a young couple who had a small plot of land at the edge of Bangkok. They wanted to have a compact house that accommodated all of the necessary functions for their modern lifestyles and required low construction and maintenance costs.

The project was eventually terminated, but coincidentally one of the architect’s team members planned to build a house for his family that had similar area restrictions and functional requirements, therefore, the design was brought to life again with a few small adjustments to better engage with its new site.

One of the new criteria for this house was to retain and enhance the outdoor space as a pleasant transitional green area since it was to be constructed next to the owner’s parent’s existing residence.

One initial request from the former owners that eventually became the key element of the house was the central terrace located on the second floor.

Its location in the heart of the house plays an important role in creating a lively atmosphere and linking all of the spaces within the houses.

Structurally, the house consists of two main parts with contrasting textures and colors. The first part is constructed with reinforced concrete and masonry, and it actually supports the second part which is made from lighter steel framing with insulated infill and fiber cement boards to reduce its weight and is capable of spanning a longer distance.

Concept The concept of the traditional Thai house is applied to Demo House through the central placement of the terrace. The interior is brightened by indirect light from the windows, and the structure is made of wide flange steel with fiber cement board and insulation to keep the house cool.

Location

Using exposed concrete as the primary material, Sugar House is designed according to a modular system of concrete formwork that determines its assembly. Structural beams, ceiling panels, door frames, and exterior panels are all sized according to the modular system. The modules also determine the vertical and horizontal joints on the interior and exterior. The joints highlight the nature of exposed concrete, which is the defining characteristic of the design.

Location

Located among a low-rise residential neighborhood, a new location for a software developer--SUNONE presents designers with a great challenge dealing with quality of living for existing residence and working condition for the new comer. In order to preserve serenity of an area, respect privacy for each residence and simultaneously create pleasing working environment for staffs, pattern of horizontal screening was introduced to the project. Not only does it create visual barrier between inside and outside; allowing no direct sight from inside to surrounding residence, but does it serve as light filter generating array of light quality for interior space.

Interior design strategy was designed to promote flexibility and transparency in work environment. In contrary to the traditional office space, SUNONE provides a range of work settings including bench desks completed with task lights for concentrated work, and informal places such as lounge/bar setting for group meeting and chats. This socially oriented space is intended to improve the possibilities for social interaction among staffs rather than previously tended electronic communication.

Truly the most delightful feature of an interior space is the design of interior screen that scattered throughout space. While exterior screen reflects technological character of company’s field of business, interior screen, on the opposite, directly reflects adventurous personality of the owner and staffs.

Industrial material like colorful PVC strip curtain has been cleverly incorporated through the building to reflect energy and liveliness of these extreme-sport lovers. Besides operating as space divider and enclosure, this screen, with its transparency property, also functions as an indicator of an area’s privacy level.

By using PVC strip curtains, openness and transparency of office space are maintained.

With deliberate architectural strategy, the two building typologies, office and home, can perfectly fuse in one environment regardless of their architectural style. By creating a work space in the low corporate presence, SUNONE has successfully provides a place that encourages both collaboration and relaxation among its staffs.

Main structural system of SUNONE building is concrete column with simple flat plate concrete slab (without beam or drop panel). However, steel plays important role by giving slim, light and challenging effects for the building architectural and interior elements.

The uniqueness of a performance which integrates between the illusion of projection mapping technology and the realism of stage performers, are key in generating the imagination of the audiences. This sparks the ideas for the team of designers to incorporate this illusion techniques to create the same effect of imagination with architecture.

Several illusion techniques have been studied to achieve the various stunning effects intension under the constraint of the given budget. Particularly, the concept of “levitation” was discussed and studied further which provided the maximum effect in capturing the imagination of illusion by allowing the heavy theatre mass to visually float effortlessly above the ground plane. To achieve the effect of levitation, few elements such as shadows, building mass seen from below and clear space or void under the mass play an essential role in the design objective.

Since the emphasis is to create the levitation illusion, the architectural form is needed to be kept simple representing a “box” for ease of visual understanding. The trick is to disguise the pre-function spaces for the theatre at ground level as a clear space or void to allow for the levitating box to perceivably float above by incorporating mirror planes on both walls and ceiling which hides the structure and to reflect the surroundings and sky.

Since the box is cantilevered from the main structure by 8.75 meters, steel structure is used so that visitors can perceive in greater depth of the reflection of the base of the floating box above which will result of the theatre box of 15 x 50 x 14 meters floating in the air. The reflection pond below, furthermore, enhances the effect of the height under the box. The lighting installed in the ceiling will also help emphasize the ceiling boundary under low light conditions.

Besides static levitation, to create another illusive effect that expresses dynamic, a kinetic façade has been used to take advantage of the coastal breeze of Pattaya. The specific shape of diamond pieces made of folded aluminum sheets expressing traditional Thai art are utilized for the kinetic components attached to tensioned cables. On a breezy day, these 30,000 golden diamond pieces creates a sparkling wave effect resembling an ocean for visitors to experience.

Concept

This wall section shows the main idea of the project to create an illusion of a light and free-floating theater.

Main building mass with the kinetic faรงade cantilevers from the third floor over reflective curtain wall that reflects the surrounding, including the sky and the open space in front of the building. This design and composition allows the theater to achieve an illusion of being floatable in the air without a supporting structure. Moreover, the reflecting pond was added to at the entrance area to reflect the curtain wall along with the ceiling in order to increase the effect of the illusion.

This project is mainly intend to find the new perception of playing space that should give more opportunity for the kids to use the space up to their imagination.

It also need to be an attractive shape so that it can draw the attention from kids. As a result the freeform masses come to answer all of these requirements with the curve walls that define the room create an unmeasured space where the unexpected activities always happen.

The clear glass curve walls acting like thin layers that separate softly between learning space inside and playing space outside in order to get the kids closely to the nature environment.

About the massing this building simply made by superimpose the two freeform masses and then twist them to create overlapping part which cantilever above, that make the big shade approach any kids to the main entrance.

Concept In the process of designing wall section, the architect intended to keep the wall of freeform masses as thin as building structure and roof drainage system would allow. Reinforced concrete roof deck, over looking the garden, is to be covered with artificial grass for nature-like environment while also acting as cantilevered overhangs providing shade over glass walls underneath.
