The project activity is divided into a part of learning and a part of woodwork which is related in dimensions whether in figures of visible view, sound and smell. Designing with all parts of the project to be linked and accessed of path crossing which is able to walk in and out together within all application areas. However, there will be a significant part of accessing from those who have ever come and those who have initially come for the area uses by having the central part of area as the linking activity

Setbacks: Buildings (≤9m height) require open space; rear setback 3–4m.
Building Construction on a shared Site: Minimum 4m between walls/balconies; 6–10m public alley.
Buildable Area: Defined construction zone.
Structural Layout: Divided into 5 sections, max column span 4m.
Zoning: Two main areas—6–7 residential rooms & cat boarding services.
This building functions as a six-room that includes a designated area for temporary cat boarding. The boarding space is enclosed within a transparent 4x4 meters cubic strocture, which aligns with budget constraints while ensuring fubctionality. The material selection priortizes efficiency, with elevated platforms that integrate seamlessly into the architechtural composition as decorative and functional elements. .
The circulation design incorporates a semi-outdoor walkway, enhancing nature airflow throughout the building. The strategy promotes passive ventilation, making the space more comfortable in Thailand’s warm climate. .
Additionally, adjustable louvers are integrated, allowing flexibility in controlling indoor conditions during the daytime.
This land is located in Suthep Subdistrict, Chiang Mai Province, with a land size of 184 sqm. There is an old building on the land. The land is situated at the corner of a main village road, with roads in front and at the side of the building. The back of the land is adjacent to a public canal. This location allows for a view of Doi Suthep, which is a beautiful mountain.
Additionally, this land is home to the provincial temple of Chiang Mai, a place that people from various areas visit for spiritual purposes, cleanliness, and peace. The landowner wants to develop this land to be beneficial for its use and has therefore designed a mixed-use building. The lower floor will be a commercial space, while the upper part will serve as a rental residential area.
Due to the land being on a prominent corner with significant visibility and prestige, this location is ideal for designing a building that emphasizes its frontage along the road.
Regarding legal regulations, the highest permissible construction type for a land plot of this small size falls under the “row house” category. The building height must not exceed three stories, the minimum front width must be at least four meters, and various setback rules must be followed as per row house construction regulations.

This project involves the renovation of an existing single-story building into a two-story structure. The owner plans to convert the ground floor into a 24-hour laundromat and the upper floor into a café. The main design challenge is to create a facade for the second floor that adds depth and dimension to the building while avoiding a rigid or overly structured appearance. Since the café lacks a defined identity or theme, three different design approaches were proposed:
1. First Design Option
• The left side, adjacent to the neighboring property, is designed as a solid section.
• The café name is positioned here using light-colored materials.
• The solid part consists of curved cement boards painted in a smoke-white color, combined with wooden slats placed 10 cm apart.
• The arrangement creates depth and highlights the café’s name, making it more prominent.
2. Second Design Option
• Developed from the first option, still using cement boards and wooden slats.
• The corner-cutting technique remains, but in this version, the elements are aligned on the same plane.
• A U-shaped logo is added to create a continuous visual connection.
3. Third Design Option
• Uses expanded metal mesh painted in dark gray.
• This changes the building’s appearance by contrasting with the bright and clean laundromat below.
• Retains the curved corner concept to soften the overall look.
