Soi Khun Phra Homestay
Year: 10/ 2021
Location: Ho Rattanachai, Ayutthaya Type: Classwork Project
*Selected candidate for final Jury
The project is located on Pa Sak river bank, with an existing 100-year-old house renovated into “Baan Khun Phra” restaurant. The owner requested a guesthouse with cafe and workshops on the first floor. The site is situated in Ayutthaya’s contemporary old town with old wooden shophouses along the small and noisy street. Overall, the site lacks a good pathway and public spaces.
The design development is based on two ideas: How can a private guesthouse extend the city’s street and public space? How can a new house relate with an existing old house?

Yellow Nine Apartment
Year: 10/2022
Location: Rama IX Rd, Bangkok Type: Classwork Project
The project is located in Seri Watthana village, with houses, low rise apartments, and a lot of restaurants within these houses. The whole community is vibrant by having these restaurants. In contrast, Apartment buildings are massive and enclosed.
How can a residential complex, which is a private property, extends the public space for the neighboorhood?
How can a mid rise building allows for tropical living, have a good ventilation, and don’t have to rely on air conditioning?
The design proposal explores on two strategies. Firstly, to compose every unit into “corner rooms” with openings on at least two side of the perimeter, to have better natural light and ventilation. Secondly, to make the terrace functional and spacious, by using bifold panels to provide shading and privacy.
Chinese Cultural Center
Year: 04/2022
Location: Samphanthawong, Bangkok Type: Classwork Project
The project is located between Chinatown district, and Hua Lamphong district between Maitri Chit and Krungkasem Canal. The site is on the edge of dense Chinese settlements in Bangkok, with a lot of interesting architecture built by Chineses. The area has variety of people, ranging from local residents, shops, hardware merchants and delivery center. These diversity also results in a unique local “bastard” especially in a small “Trok”
The design development is based on two ideas: How can a cultural center, which is a program for outsiders, relate with the local people and enhance the existing environment?
How can a contemporary Thai-Chinese culture would be understood from the new design proposal?
กำหนดแนวแกน บริบทที่ตั้ง พื้นที่เปิดโล่ง
รองรับความสัมพันธ์แบบพึ่งพากันที่มีอยู่ แต่เดิม และกำหนดพื้นที่สีเขียวเพื่อสภาพแวดล้อมที่ เหมาะสมต่อการอยู่อาศัย
หลังคาจั่ว นอกจากจะให้ร่มเงา กันฝน ต้อนรับ วัฒนธรรมไทย-จีนมีร่วมกัน "รั้ว" ความปลอดภัยนั้นเป็นได้ มากกว่าผนังทึบหรือระแนง เหล็ก ของคนงานในซอยจิตตเกษม ให้รั้วรองรับกิจกรรมได้ด้วย
พื้นที่ภายในโครงการ ส่วนต้องการแสง ต้องการมองเห็นกัน ช่องเปิดและผนังจึงออกแบบ ให้รับแสงธรรมชาติ
