Samutsongkram Juvenile detention center is a detention center for teenagers and kids who are under 18 years old. The main function is similar to dormitory school but every paths have to be able to see by guards, for safety and decorum. The project comprises of welcome hall, classrooms, canteen, teenager dormitorys, officer dormitory and observation area. Project is located in countryside, so the buildings iss designed to use natural ventilation.

Main design idea is to completely separate boys and girls side but both sides can be observed from the same place. The memorial walking path encloses the cylinder-shaped observatory which separates the two dormitories from each other. The surrrounding view from the walking path give the juveniles warm welcome to the center and final memory before leaving.

Building facade is designed in modula system provided shade for every areas. Activities courts are surrounded by dorm buildings.
