AW, with architecture by PODesign, The Honor Residence is a double award-winning residential project located in a stylish area of Bangkok. The aim was to create a high-end, tasteful development of 12 pool villas and a clubhouse that would appeal to modern and successful business owners. While it was to be spacious and impressive to reflect their professional standing, The Honor Residence had to offer maximum privacy and provide a unique living experience close to the city’s Central Business District. A special requirement and challenge was to preserve the three giant rain trees at the front of the site to add a serene atmosphere to
the development. Each unit has been planned with a ‘U-shaped’ layout to create its own courtyard and provide additional privacy for every individual house. The exterior wall of the second floor features lava stone cladding which appears to be floating, yet creates a simple, solid geometry. Interlocking the stone frame, a wooden box and screen is introduced for sun shading and to blend in with the natural surroundings. Interiors feature high ceilings with a wide span, made possible by a post tension structure system, and a column-free floating box above the swimming pool. An open plan layout also allows living spaces to flow freely from one function to another.
