RESIDENTIAL -Urban cave ( condominium concept design -Eco Mutualism Home - Bedroom & Bathroom -Kitchen & Dining room
This is the work for condominium concept design competition. We decide to use the concept that inspired by cave which is the earliest habitat of human. The feeling that we want to accomplish is mystical ,protective ,cozy and full of surprise. From the hidden function of doors and furniture, the secret room entering to the glow in the night paint pattern that flow to connect all parts of the room. The material we choose to use are quite raw and giving the natural touch.(year4)

Urban cave ( condominium concept design)
The house were designed to help reducing energy consumption as much as possible as I analyzed the environmental factors such as the wind and day lighting before making the design which start from planning the whole masterplan of the community to the space planning of each houses. The house is facing Northsouth and tends to be wider but shorter than normal townhome because we want to use more of natural daylight.
(year2) This Project is about planning the master plan of the whole townhome community. Our idea comes from the problem of modern day society where everyone just live on their own, no interaction between neighbors. No space for relaxing and community gathering so, we try to plan a space that motivate people to do more outdoor activities and see other neighbors. From the master plan, people can share the garden in front of their house with their neighbors. The parking lot is in the backside of the house so, the footpath and street are totally separated to make sure the kids and little dogs are safe while playing ( year2)

Past Experiences • Voluntary works • Internship with DWP
• Internship with Aiesec • Internship with Democrat Party
I spent short time learning basic technique of building a clay house but from that the idea and passion about sustainable architecture still stay with me until now. The project was for the monks in remote temples to have a place to stay in Chaiyapoom (2008) This volunteer teacher project were held by mirror foundation. It was a very memorable and valuable experience got a chance to taught art and Thai language to the kids. Also in return I stay with the hill tribe family and learned the sustainable way of life from them.
