The attached house of two siblings of two different parts of the house. The decorations would be divided into two contravertial style.
The owner request a luxurious style to serve as the welcoming space for business meeting with the stylish slow bar. Dominent color of the space is gold and marble with different finish where the light would be installed to enhance the environmental ambient.
House B on the other hand, the main material is wood with the lesser decorative elements. Focused more on geometry shape and form, nontheless hidden lights were added to enhance dimensions and complexity of the elements without being too exaggerated. The calming atmosphere was created with the texture and seamless colour matching.
This project is designed with the objective to construct a residential building within the heart of Bangkok city and is envisioned to be a warming and homelike addition to the city's landscape. It is located near Punnawithi BTS station and True Digital park, with potential benefits for both locals or commuters.
The idea behind the development of this project emerged from the growing demand for family living residential with the highly accessible areas of the city center. Due to the increasing urbanization and popular growth, most of the condominium or apartment are micro living space where it is not suitable for family; meanwhile there the growing number of commuters’ families.
The term ‘embrace’ refer the embrace of new generation, we would provide the space that is suitable to build a strong family relationship.

All form of architecture can be performed in the space, architecture is not only about building a building but there are many fields of study such as Audiovisual architect; Interior architect, Landscape architect etc. however the building is not only welcoming architecture related visitors but also non-architecture related who are interested in architecture, exhibition or just casual visitors.
Brick is one main structure that being widely used in French architecture especially in Haussman style buildings. Brick has its properties of weather resistant, it serves as a insulation. Brick is also able bearing the load of the buildings to reduce the used of columns.
The programs are based in lifestyles of architecture students where there are studios, silent rooms, meeting rooms, laboratories, research bibliotheque with the books and previous thesis paper data based. As well as the facilities such as relaxation rooms, stores, and a cafeteria. In addition, there are accommodations where visitors can lead some equipment to use inside the building. There are also rooms that visitors are welcome to use, for instance, computer lab, locker room, drafting room. The services that would be provided are the main information desk in the front and other information desks scattered around the building.
The building would provide them a space to perform their works, for example the space can be transformed into a small room to create multiple spaces for the interior designer exhibition or the space could be widely open for the urban architect. There is also the space for the book or thesis paper exhibition and auditorium for the lectures and ambience design available as well.

“Ruen Kiang Nahm” or the “Cabin by the River” seeks to bring together tradi- tional Thai construction elements and concepts along with modern sustainable design techniques to present a shelter for 2 which aims to maximize the func- tions of each space in the house within the area limitations of 300 square feet (27.87 sq m). The house offers various spaces for different activities, as well as a multifunctional deck in the middle which allows the inhabitants to perform activities of their choice. With the house being designed to have openings in every room, it allows natural light and wind to circulate throughout the house, as well as allowing the inhabitants to enjoy the magnificent view all day long.
Thailand generally has a tropical climate with hot temperatures. However, the house is located in Sapan, Nan which is in the Northern region of Thailand where the topographies are mostly mountainous, making the weather sweltering during the summer, reaching 35 degrees Celsius and extremely cold compared to other parts of Thailand during the winter, being 12 degrees Celsius. The average weather throughout the year is 26.3 degrees Celsius.
Nan is affected by 2 different monsoons each year.
1. Northeast monsoon winds in the middle of October until mid-February which some years may go beyond mid-March will blow the cold
2. Southwest monsoon in the middle of May until the end of September blows away moisture from the equator is during the rainy season
According to the geography of Nan, it is raining in average of
120 days a year.
The form of the building is cut in the middle to create an opening for the multifunctional space while it is also accessible to the interior. The interior space is also able to be open widely to the multifunction space. The shed roof is surrounded by water gutter where it faces to the opposite side of the multifunctional space to prevent the unwanted rain water.
The structure of the house uses wooden frame structure with traditional wood joints which is easy to assemble and dissemble. The bamboo is a part of the facade which is also attached using screws to the inner wall structure.
The house is designed to separate the 2 main parts of it to being private and public with the use of a multi- functional deck which is located at the house’s entrance. The bedroom and the workspace is situated in one side of the house where it allows full privacy when guests come over. As you walk across the deck, you will reach the living, cooking, and dining area which is more of a public zone, ready to welcome guests and friends.
The multifunctional space in the middle of the house connects the private zone (bedroom and working space)with the public zone (living room and bedroom). The area offers the inhabitants to perform various activities, whether it be a walkway, a recreational space where they can enjoy with their friends, a deck to sit and read, or even an outdoor dining space to enjoy the glorious weather and view.

The Angsila Oyster Scaffolding Pavilion stands as a remarkable solution with a multifaceted impact. It embodies the preservation of Angsila's cultural heritage by integrating traditional bamboo scaffolding techniques, while also revitalizing the local economy through its "sea-to-table" dining experience, where visitors can select fresh oysters from the ocean, benefiting local fishermen and attracting tourists. Its eco-friendly construction methods, utilizing native shallow-ocean bamboo without power tools, align with sustainability goals, and the pavilion's immersive, educational aspect educates visitors about the importance of oyster cultivation and traditional craftsmanship, making it a unique and meaningful addition to the coastal village.
The primary objective of the Angsila Oyster Scaffolding Pavilion is to increase awareness and admiration for the village’s coastal fishing industry, which is historically significant but often overlooked. The design of the pavilion is based on the traditional and extensively utilized bamboo scaffolding employed in oystercultivation, which has been modified to create a unique interpretation.
The Angsila fishermen bring groups of visitors to the Oyster Scaffolding Pavilion, where they can handpick their own oysters and mussels. These are then freshly prepared for them to enjoy in a unique "sea-to-table" dining experience against the back-drop of the stunning coastline. This novel approachallows the Angsila fishermen to showcase their seafood directly to customers, thereby eliminating intermediaries in the market and ensuring that all profits directly benefit the local community.
When not serving as a dining pavilion, the oyster scaffolding double as a recreational fishing platform for locals. During weekends, Angsila fishermen families gather at the platform, equipped with traditional fishing poles, bait, and hook, to catcha variety of local fish that thrive in the clear, shellfish-filtered waters surrounding the oyster and mussel bundles.
Due to the limitation of budget, and time. We decided to changed material of the roof/ shades from the weaved belt to the slant roof. As Slant roof is easier to construct, cheaper and save a lot more time. Its material property is also is not persist wind that would cause the tall structure to fall apart.
Due to the storm season the project construction has to be postponed from planned in July which is when the proposal was completed to september and finished in the beginning of 2023
open for general public as an event ‘Seafood on Scaffolding’ or ‘
On the 4th-5th Febuary 2023 hosted by Chat Archi- tects and Angsila Community.
The event was successful, the second event was hosted again on 8th march 2023

Architectural design III
Type: Cultural Center and Landscape
Site: Rama IX, Bangkok, Thailand
Instructor: Payap Pakdeelao
Connecter building between communities, nature and medition. As well as create the ecology and enhance the canal community . Located in Vanathum park, the main idea is to renovate the park that suitable for more groups of people with the different programs on the bridge to loosen the boundary between people and people, people and nature by using the meditation activi- ties and space as the medium.
Most of the zone is the area surrounding are housing community and the range is from the neo classical mansion style housing to the public housing. There are quite number of greenery around. The accessibity is quite convenient there are schools, religious centers. There are canel surrounding the site as well as the big pond like Nong Bon lake.
The linkage is the bridge typology building to create the connection between community and park to the other community to reduce the difficulty of the transportation and make it easy for everyone to access the park. There are two buildings which reduce the specification of the program to be more universal to all. The park has two islands floating surrounded by the water that is from the large lake called nong bon lake.
First Island is for the recreational zone, there’s a running track provided at this zone as well as the pier for kayaking and other water activities. It is connected with bridge A which is the community library. The library sits horizontally which allows people to walk through while walking across the bridge. The louver windows can be open 90 degrees to make the most of the views and the natural light and ventilation by desire. The area would be open for everyone to borrow some books and read them anywhere in the library zone and park zone. There also is a meeting room where people reserve to work privately as well. The structure lifted a little bit of the ground for the existing transportation route and the canal.
For the roof of the library would be covered from rains and too much sunlight that would ruin the book while the walkway using the technique of trellis work to also allow the light to get in and reduce the use of energy. The interior uses warm light and mostly would rely on the use of natural light with the warm interior decorating. The books are arranged by the curvy walls and on the shelf where people can bring it and read in the reading area or in the provided tables and chairs.
Second island is the activities island that would provide the universal religious related activities that can be connected to non religious as well. The space and activities mainly focus on the meditation activities that can be accessed to all religions and all people. The island is separated into by the building whose first zone is the quited zone where people could do activities such as meditating, walking etc or any noise free activities. The second zone is an activity zone. There is a small amphitheater, walking path, and resting area surrounded by an abundance of trees.
In the bridge the space is more close and private, there are two separate rooms, first one is the meditation room where people can do yoga or meditation activities with lockers, restroom and showers. Next room is seminar room where people can gather in groups for group activities which has the partitions that enlarge the room by desire. There are also public toilets which allow any users.The walkway on this bridge can sit and relax as well and also in the middle connected 2 zones together.
On top of the attaching bookshelf wall, has the ventilation panel to allow natural ventilation without directly facing the book shelf. The roof is using bamboo which naturally has heat insulating properties. With its shape while arranging it also allows not too much light to pass through. To prevent rain water there is another glass panel to protect the space.

The water is being used in many activities as well as the inside of the community which make it very important to the design. Where it is essential to have a designed natural water cleaning system. Firstly is to filter the water by designing the shoreline using the local water cleaning plant to create the swap shoreline that can also have the walkway for the pedestrians as well. The water cleaning plant such as floating pond plants, oxygenating pond plants or water celery which would help take in the carbon dioxide in the water to be in there photosynthesis cycle and give us good oxygen to the air and the water in the canal. The swamp can also have big trees such as mangroves that could prevent water erosion that would cause landslides. Curvy structures would be built to hold the water plants in place to prevent the overly growth of the water plant population. It could also help with the overflow of rainwater causing floods which is very common in bangkok. It is also one of the reasons that all the bridge building is lifted up off the ground to support people during the flooding situation. Next is the lockgate system which can control the water in the park and prevent flooding. An example of the lock is the lock on rideau canal in canada, which in this case the lock was used to control the water for the boat transportation. However the lock in this area would be used to control the water to get in and reduce the amount of rainwater that causes flooding in the community.
