Maethus's Portfolio 2024

“I am the middle child of three children who was brought up in a home where good manners and the importance of pursuing knowledge was very important. In addition, all three of us were also exposed to music and art from the age of 4, thereby ensuring that all sides of our brains were developed. The progressive thinking of my parents allowed me to eventually study architecture at University.”

At the same time, I continued to improve my musical skills and began teaching the piano at the age of 15 years and became a conductor of my High School band. This taught me how to be a leader at an early age and how to behave socially and in the public eye, knowing when to speak and when to remain quiet.The opportunities that I had in my early years allowed me to shine and be outgoing in nature. I became the Student Vice President of Bangkok University, which came with significant responsibility such as being the Master of Ceremonies at events.

I therefore learnt to speak publicly with confidence. I also continued to be active in music, and the and Conductor of the Trim Udom Pattanakarn Marching Band. This was quite a step away from the shy kid who had no confi¬dence which I once was.

In 2014, Norman Foster & Partners debuted an exhibition in Bangkok. They were looking for 10 people to become exhibition ambassadors. Candidates had to take an exam¬ination and attend classes fire month to learnt required skills. Only a select view were then selected to present their acquired knowledge and skills and I was rated as the best Ambassador. This opportunity provided me with an invaluable experience

Starbucks Kalimalang holds a special place as my first Starbucks design. The shop is situated in East Jakarta, adjacent to the Kalimalang river. It features a three-story shop house style; however, only the ground floor is utilized. Designed as a delivery store, it offers convenient amenities such as a parking ,waiting and pick-up area specifically designated for delivery personnel..

CONCEPT

o Kalimalang is located in East Jakarta, named after the main river in the area. Therefore, the design concept is closely tied to water, which symbolizes spirituality and life. The local community is well acquainted with the river, making water a significant element to incorporate into the Starbucks store design in this area. To achieve this, I have decided to use the color blue instead of Starbucks' traditional green as a prominent color in the design. Additionally, to create an inviting atmosphere, the main material used throughout the building is the white breeze block. This material extends from the exterior to the interior. Inside the building, I have incorporated both blue and green colors, albeit in a subtle manner. These colors are primarily used to showcase a wave pattern that I have created.

Starbucks Sudirman Pekanbaru is an impressive standalone building situated alongside the main road. With its spacious interior and high ceilings, it presents a unique and captivating design challenge. The store's strategic location within a residential and school area adds to its appeal and accessibility.

CONCEPT

o Starbucks Sudirman Pekanbaru stands out as an exceptional example of captivating design, primarily due to its tall ceilings, spacious layout, and prime location. The challenge lay in maintaining such a lofty space, which is addressed by implementing a simple wood ceiling throughout the entire area. Additionally, the massive entry wall at the back has been replaced with a large, serene artwork, adding an intriguing t to the space. The main concept behind this store is industrial design, which can sometimes appear too strong and unwelcoming. However, the warm wood tones used throughout the store's color palette help to strike a balance, creating a welcoming and cozy ambiance.

Starbucks "The Breeze" store is situated within The Breeze Shopping Mall. As a renovation project, this store aims to incorporate reused or improved furniture and materials, adding a sustainable touch to the design. Furthermore, the ongoing mall renovation provides an opportunity to create a design that complements and harmonizes with the overall mall aesthetic. The renovation process presents various factors to consider, ensuring that the store's design aligns seamlessly with the mall's ambiance and enhances the overall shopping experience.

CONCEPT

"The Breeze" store embodies the main concept of being a warm, inviting cafe, setting it apart from the surrounding competitors with their industrial aesthetics. Wood and rattan serve as the primary materials, adding to the cozy and welcoming atmosphere. A notable challenge is the 6-meter-tall ceiling at the entrance, which has been transformed with a custom rattan sculpture lighting art piece that I personally designed. This artwork not only fits perfectly within the space but also aligns with the overall store concept. Furthermore, as a community mall, it caters to groups of friends and families visiting simultaneously. To accommodate this, a long community table for 12 people has been placed at the back of the store, encouraging a sense of togetherness and conviviality.

To address this design challenge, light colors have been chosen to create an illusion of a larger and brighter space.

These fixtures serve to illuminate and enhance the overall ambiance of the store, adding to the feeling of spaciousness.
