‘BLOW UP’
FROM MOVIE TO ARCHITECTURE The design of the shop house is an end result which is an abstraction of the classical film, “Blow Up” by Michelangelo Antonioni and an adaptation from a thorough study of the Esherick House, one of the master piece by the great master, Renzo Piano. The project was divided into three main phases: Beginning with Learning from the master, which the Esherick House had been analyzed in and out; from the implied logic behind the space to the idea of solid and void. The second phase is the Analysis of the movie Blow Up in terms of camera angles and plot. And finally the final phase, Design Execution, which the information from the prior phases are being extracted and adapted into the existing site. The site is located in Samyan, a small mechanic community in the center of Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. The intension of the project was to transform two adjacent shop house into a residential building for a family of a movie director and a community center which would provide livelihood to the community.
FROM MOVIE TO ARCHITECTURE The genral concept of the architecture is derived from on of the climax of the movie, where the main character “BLOW UP” the picture to investigate a murderer. The design of the building’s facade is a depiction of the pixelated “BLOW UP” photos. I integrated the “square” pixels into the facade of the building not only as a straightforward expression but with the intention to implied the sense of obscurity into the house. The pixelation had been used in the facades facing the center alley. The density of the facade pixilation is gradually becomes more sparse as it gets to the main entrance in the center. This builds up the curiosity of the passersby - making them wonder what is actually inside the building attracting them in. While th frontal facades had been design in a more simplicity to keep the coherence with its neighbours.

To create an efficient cohering space between the public and private area, the two areas had been distributed separately into each buildings and are joined on the top floor. Creating a privacy hierarchy which increases as you go higher.

On the residential building the living room and kitchen are situated on the ground floor. While the guest bedroom and maid bedroom resides on the second floor. And finally most private area: the master bedroom and the child bedroom are situated on the third floor. They are connected directly to the office and the outdoor garden of the adjacent building.

The second building is a public building which served as a communal center. It consists of a cafĂŠ on the ground floor and a small theater with an exhibition space on the second floor. The third floor however, is preserved as a private office and an outdoor garden for the owner.

The facade facing the center alley is distinguish by the program within them. On the residential building the facade is design to provide a limited view from the outside to maintain privacy. However, as an abstraction of the pixelated concept, concrete has been shaped to create depth and pixelated pattern. While the density of the pixelation on the upper level is decreased to provide ventilation and better view.
South Elevation
The pixelated pattern of the public building on the other hand is designed to obscurity and raise up curiousity, attracting the public to the cafe on the ground floor. Steel framing had been used to create a variety of window panels. Similar to the residential house, the density of the pixelation decreases on the upper levels .
‘BANGKACHAO HOTEL’ BRIDGING-IN
The design approach of the Bangkachao Hotel is to established a bridge which closes down the gap between the urban environment and the natural context. Guests of the hotel would be provided with an "urban quality" facilities under the Bangkachao natural context. The programs are oriented to create a privacy hierarchy which allows the tourists to cohabitates with the locals, immerging themselves to the subtle and serene lifestyles while obtaining their high level facility and privacy. To directly engage with the community the locals are provided with working and learning areas. Vacant orchards and canals would be bring back to usage, while locals would be provided with jobs and knowledge.However, this would not only promotes the economics of the community but at the same time creating a self-sustained environment. Therefore, the hotel doesn't only served the needs for their guests but, it becomes a benefitial elements of the community as a whole through the jobs opportunities and self-sustained community.

DESIGN APPROACH
PROGRAMS AND PLANNING
1 The site possessed a riverside view, which not only provides the perspective of the contradictory environment of bangkok but allows access to the water.
To cohabitate coherently with the local context of Bangkachao, the architecture is designed to integrate itself into the natural environment of the site. Therefore to benefit from the site location, the hotel rooms are oriented to face the Chaophraya River and the canal which cuts into the site. Moreover, with the site being a flood plain, the hotel structures are elevated-up to co-exist coherently with the flooding problem and at the same time minimizing the destruction of the existing natural condition. The public spaces are provided for the locals on the ground floor. These programs includes facilities such as the swimming pool and floating market along with the learning center in the form of plantations. The hierarchy of privacy increases as the level gets higher. The main entrance would leads the guests across the canal onto the second floor. The second floor consists of a public library, a café and the lobby. To create a private circulation for the guests the guests are being lead through a secure door from the lobby into their designated room either on the same or upper level. The public spaces such as the café or the library then acts as a communal space which ideas and knowledge could be exchange between the locals and the guests. This would create a mutual relationship between the locals and the hotel. The locals are provided with job opportunity along with facilities while the hotels would use that aspects as an attraction while bridging in the gap between the locals and urban community.
2 The canal’s mouth allows boats to directly enters to the hotel. While the usage of the canal through the floating market also allows the local to bring the canal back into use. 3 The existing community allows a direct interaction with the locals promoting the economics of the area. 4 With the existing site condition of being a flood plain it allows the the architecture to interact with the environment. 5 Bringing back the orchards into use would not only provide a self sustainble hotel, and bring the vacant land back to used but provides the local with jobs - giving back to the local comunity

@MAHACHAI
8 STORIES SERVICE APARTMENT Located in Samutsakorn, a small industrial province on the outer skirt of Bangkok, @Mahachai aims to provide residential services to the expats working in the factories. The apartment service consists of 76 rooms and are divided into 6 types ranging from 26sqm. to 46sqm. The 2nd and 3rd floors would consists of small rooms to provide daily and weekly services, while the 4th to 6th floor would provide the monthly services. The 7th and 8th floor will served as a penthouse to the owner and his family. Moreover, it also possessed a medium size banquet room on the ground floor. The facade of the building is designed with high consideration towards the natural lighting and context of the site. Therefore the pattern of the facade doesn't only serve as an ornament but is designed to prevent excessive heat to enter the rooms. However, to provide maximum view towards to canal behind the site sliding fixture had been used to reduce direct sunlight onto both the balcony and the rooms.

Spa & Salon @ Hadyai 3 STORIES TWIN SHOPHOUSE
The client wanted to build a small spa and salon along with an empty shophouse to be rented in the future. Therefore, the design of the of building aims to create a twin shophouse. The plan of spa takes the form of a L-shape which allows it to expand at the back, while its twin would take the form of a typical 14m x 4m shophouse. To create a clear circulation path the users would be entering the spa/salon through the main lobby before being lead to either the salon path with the front stair or to the spa in the back. Being restricted by the size of the plot, a huge void is being open in the center court to provide both efficient ventilation and the sense of openness. Moreover, the third floor would acts as the residence of the client and her family.
