CONDOMINIUM Challenge My thesis’ purpose is to design and research, as a professional architect, the luxury condominium in the central district in Bangkok. Solution In the present day, the numbers of Bangkok residents are increasing, and the numbers of residential buildings, the general factors for humans to live, are reducing. However, Bangkok’s space can not increase to afford the demands of the single house, so the condominium is the answer to increase the living space of the Bangkok residents. They can have their own house that is close to their office. I designed my thesis condominium to combine the architecture of the building and the natural green space into one in this building. First, the building stays with nature by using eco-material and by opening space for the wind to flow through the building to make the rooms have good ventilation. Moreover, most of the public space, the garden area in this project, is designed to increase the oxygen from the tree that is planted close to the room. Second, I designed the big balcony in the unit to protect the inside of the room from the direct sunlight that makes the rooms have a high temperature. The owner also has more space to plant the tree in the big balcony, so they can have a relaxed place out of their room. Third, I focused the design of this project on the actual environment, calculation of the cost and profit, and EIA approval of the building. In conclusion, this project was designed and researched as a professional architect and real estate agent to make sure this project is able to be created.
Bangkok is located in a tropical climate. Therefore, trees and materials can be beneficial to the people who live in this building, and when you see it, you can feel good.
