Program description

WHAT IS iA?

Interior environments have significant impact on human beings.

Good environments respond to human behavior and psychological needs, supporting and improving efficiency in various ways.

This is especially important in the era of globalization and the rapid growth of the world economy, where increased international relations result in changes to the environment, society and culture, directly affecting human behavior and emotional needs. The role of the interior architecture profession becomes more clearly defined as creators of environments with economical, technological and social values that help to improve the quality of life on both the individual and organizational levels.

Program objectives and student outcomes: 1. To prepare graduates to pursue professional careers as interior architects at an international level.

2. To provide graduates with a broad knowledge base and academic skills for pursuing postgraduate studies.

3. To instill leadership qualities and a sense of moral and ethical responsibility towards society.

Bachelor of Interior Architecture Program Bachelor of Interior Architecture 7

IA 116 Interior Architectural Design 1

Interior Architectural Design 1

This is the introductory course to interior architectural design. It focuses on the application of the aesthetic theories and design fundamentals to small-sized interior spaces, as well as developing the ability to communicate design analyses and concepts that relate to the context and users.

9

IA 116 Interior Architectural Design 1

DIAGONAL HOUSE STUDENT Apisara Jiraprasertwong YEAR 2018 A house that is both open to its natural surrounding and retains its privacy by positioning the public zone towards the front of the house and the private spaces to the back. A green area is created in the center giving every space access to nature, while the form is angled so that each space has a different view.

GREEN HOUSE STUDENT Kornkamol Rungtrakarn YEAR 2018 The aim of this design is for every room in the house to have a view of the central courtyard, which is entirely enclosed by large glass windows. The concept was inspired by the Smith House by Richard Meier.

11

IA 116 Interior Architectural Design 1

LIBRARY HOUSE STUDENT Nutcha Kubkopkkruad YEAR 2018 This house was inspired by the user’s love of reading and Richard Meier’s Douglas House. A small entrance from the parking area leads gradually towards the garden in the middle of the house, where a large doubleheight living-library space makes the house feels spacious and draws the inhabitants to spend time together there. All areas of the house are connected to the central garden for a relaxing atmosphere.

THE ISLAND HOUSE STUDENT Pishayaporn Thodpakdee YEAR 2018 The public and private spaces are clearly demarcated by the use of different transparencies: the public space make use of large clear windows to maximise visual connection with the surrounding, while the private space is enclosed by an opaque façade for privacy. The public and private spaces are separated like islands, which are then bridged together by a green space that highlights the transition from one space to the other.

IA 215 Interior Architectural Design 2

Interior Architectural Design 2

The basics of interior architectural design. This course emphasizes the understanding and application of design fundamentals, the comprehension of human’s spatial wants and needs, as well as the relationship between people and their environments. The brief involves designing a small living unit by carrying out functional analysis and exploring the relationship between interior and exterior spaces.

15

IA 215 Interior Architectural Design 2

INTERACTIVE HOUSE STUDENT Pornpitcha Siritassanakul YEAR 2017

This house was designed for users who do not have much interaction with their surroundings. The concept is to provide 3 different connections between the user and their surroundings: 1. connecting to the natural surrounding around the house, 2. the interior layout that connects daily activities, 3. connecting to society.

17

STUDENT Supawit Paewnopsuk YEAR 2017 The design was born out of the conflict between the behaviors of the inhabitants and the surrounding context. By analyzing the contrast between the context in terms of sunlight, wind and viewpoints and user behaviors, the design proposes a sequence of spaces whose approach, functions and layout help to minimize that difference.

JUST DIFFERENT BUT NOT DISSENT HOUSE STUDENT Thanadon Pisithaporn YEAR 2017

A design for a home office, which is usually not well-connected to nature. The areas for the two main functions are clearly separated and have contrasting styles: cool and orderly for the working area and relaxed for the living area; yet they are not totally disjointed, with still a connecting point between them, while green areas are placed both on the interior and exterior.

21

IA 215 Interior Architectural Design 2

JIGSAW HOUSE STUDENT Tipaphon Benchangwisanu YEAR 2017 The design of this residence is inspired by the 3D jigsaw, which means every piece has its purpose and build up into a meaningful story when brought together.

Any one part on its own is meaningless, like family relationships, where every family member is essential, and it is imperative to have everyone in the same place to create amazing memories together.

23

IA 215 Interior Architectural Design 2

Townhouse STUDENT Tippawan Tippayakorn YEAR 2017 A single-family townhouse with a limited area, the concept for the design is “embrace,” with a vertical void that connects the interior spaces from the first floor to the third floor. The first floor has a kitchen, dining area and a special carp pond, reflecting the father’s interests, allowing him to spend time in the same area with other family members. The second floor is the living and pre-school area and has been divided into indoor, semi-outdoor and outdoor areas, which can be reconfigured according to the needs of the child’s activities. The third floor has the master bedroom and a study that can later be turned into the child’s bedroom. There is also a roof terrace that can be used for various activities.

AIRBASE’S FLIGHT

An office renovation for the architectural practice Airbase Studio. The design concept was derived from the idea that the working process is like going on a holiday, if the journey is not boring, then the trip will be fun, the same thing applies for people working on an architectural project.

STUDENT Boonyasiri Samana

Due to the name of the practice, as well as the fact that there is a tradition of yearly outings abroad, the design makes use of motifs associated with air travel, such as airport, aircraft, souvenirs and travel memories.

AIRBASE OFFICE STUDENT Chanidapa boonprasan YEAR 2019 A renovation project for an architectural office, where the previous setup has designers working at separate desks. In order to foster more interactions and collaborations between employees, the concept of “Tetris” was used to design the workstations of each employee as well as the building’s floor plans.

31

IA 216 Interior Architectural Design 3

AIRBASE OFFICE RENOVATION STUDENT Pishayaporn Thodpakdee YEAR 2019

Airbase Office is occupied by young architects and designers; however the existing office space is quite sombre and not possessed of the productive and energetic atmosphere suitable for a design office.

The concept for the renovation is therefore “festivals,” to create a more fun and relaxed atmosphere as well as encouraging a more active and mobile behaviour in the workplace instead of being desk- and screen-bound all the time. The office then should feel like a festival where the designers have gathered together to have fun and collaborate and feel energized and stimulated to create exciting works.

33

IA 216 Interior Architectural Design 3

AIRBASE NETWORK OFFICE STUDENT Tanakrit Lekpetch YEAR 2019 The design focused on functionality and reflects the working dynamic of the company, which involves a lot of teamwork and collaboration. This led to the concept of the “network.” The areas for the employees and the clients are separated, yet joined together by a common area used for presentations.

The working space is open-plan, but with defined personal boundaries that nevertheless are connected together.

35

IA 216 Interior Architectural Design 3

STREET OFFICE STUDENT Thanaphon Malakam YEAR 2019 This is a renovation project for the architectural practice Airbase Studio. I wanted a workplace where the employees can be happy, talk, mingle and exchange ideas with each other. As most of the employees are young and experimental, the design is informal, using the concept of the “street,” including graffiti.

37

IA 216 Interior Architectural Design 3

SEE(SEA) THE PICTURE

STUDENT Boonyasiri Samana YEAR 2019

The Kalm Bangsaen Hotel is located on Bang Saen Beach near the city area of Chonburi Province, a tourist hotspot for young lovers, so the design for the renovation focused on attracting this major tourist group.

Today, Instagrammable holidays, or traveling for the purpose of taking photos, is very popular among the young generation. The design is inspired by the characteristics and preferences of this target group, such as framing sea views to look like paintings, using common aspect ratios for openings and a color palette drawn from the colors of the sea, sand and stones. The 90s décor acts as backdrop for photos to be posted on social media and there is a rooftop dining area with a romantic atmosphere for couples.

39

IA 216 Interior Architectural Design 3

KALM HOTEL STUDENT Chanidapa Boonprasan YEAR 2019 This is a renovation project for a hotel on Bang Saen Beach, where tourists like to come and sit by the sea on beach chairs and with the clement weather would sometimes drift off to sleep. This forms the inspiration for the concept of “daydream,” together with an event when the seawater had turned pink like dust, but has never done so again, as though it was a dream from which we have awoken. The aim of the design is to make guests feel as though the hotel only exists in a dream.

41

IA 216 Interior Architectural Design 3

KALM BANGSAEN HOTEL RENOVATION

STUDENT Pishayaporn Thodpakdee YEAR 2019

The mega government-sponsored Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) project, which is being rolled out in pilot areas such as Chonburi Province, will see Bang Saen Beach with an influx of tourists, possibly resulting in the rapid growth of SMEs and startups. It follows that the area could see more business travelers as well as the ever-increasing digital nomads. This project therefore proposes that the KALM Bangsaen hotel is converted partly into a business hotel in order to cater to this group of visitors. The concept for the renovation is “fisheries,” showcasing the traditional fishing methods of eastern Thailand and the lifestyle of Bang Saen’s local inhabitants, but with fishing methods that have been modernized to better reflect the lifestyle of the modern entrepreneur, who can be assured that KALM Bangsaen Hotel will be the hub for meeting with potential partners and showcasing their startup models.

43

IA 216 Interior Architectural Design 3

KALM BANGSAEN (INE) HOTEL

STUDENT Tanakrit Lekpetch YEAR 2019

The main concept for this hotel renovation is to give guests the experience of being abroad. The main target group for the hotel is young travelers from the city who can only spend 2 to 3 nights and a medium budget. With these factors in mind, the design is seeking to give them the experience of an overseas holiday without having to take vacation leave or spending beyond their normal budget. The hotel is situated on Bang Saen Beach, where there are not many activities compared to other nearby beaches, the project therefore proposes the atmosphere of a quiet retreat, drawing inspiration and design elements from the small fishing village in the Japanese town of Ine. Ine shares some similarities with Bang Saen Beach, so the elements that make it beautiful, such as its orderly arrangement of houses and color palette that gives off a feeling of peace and calm, have been applied in the design of this project.

45

IA 216 Interior Architectural Design 3

CAVE IN THE SEA STUDENT Thanaphon Malakam YEAR 2019 This project is a renovation of the Kalm Bangsaen Hotel, which lies on Bang Saen Beach. Most of the guests are couples, so the design wants to create a romantic atmosphere with a hint of Thainess, to attract both Thai and foreign tourists, leading to the concept “cave in the sea.”

CHOL AROMATIQUE STUDENT Amina Ritdhate YEAR 2019

The highlight of the brand is to make users feel relaxed yet energetic, leading to the concept of water reflection. Water helps to relax while the light is powerful like the light of the rising sun, manifesting as a water reflection projected from the island display at the center of the shop, creating rippling shadows on the ceiling. The layout of the shop is inspired by a water splash.

51

IA 315 Interior Architectural Design 4

CHOL’S ART GALLERY STUDENT Araya Singhaphrom YEAR 2019 CHOL Aromatique is a brand of aromatherapy products using natural extracts and catering to city dwellers.

The concept is “Chol’s art gallery,” merging art and music with aromas to create a unique experience for the customers. By seeing the artworks on display all around the store, customers will associate the brand’s products on display with these priceless artworks.

53

IA 315 Interior Architectural Design 4

CHOL AROMATIQUE STUDENT Pimonwan Pitikuan YEAR 2019 CHOL Aromatique is a brand of aromatherapy products using only natural extracts, which is also its selling point, leading to the design concept of “the secret power of natural aromatherapy” and a design that fuses Thai and French characteristics through the selection of materials, mood and tone, lighting and various other elements.

MIQW (Mobile camps for improving the quality of life of construction workers) STUDENT Supawit Peawnopsuk YEAR 2018 In the past, the construction of builder’s camps was unsound and not durable; they were lacking in privacy, conveniences and spaces for children. The aim of this project is to devise a structural system that can create spaces that better support the needs of the children and workers as well as being sustainable. The modular structure can be knocked down and reassembled in any environment.

Xiang Kong STUDENT Pavee Sarapaivitit YEAR 2017 Xiang Kong is one of the oldest communities in Thailand. The name “Xiang Kong” is derived from a traditional Chinese Shrine in the community first established by the Hokkien people. The community has been widely known as an ironmongery community because of its reputation in metalwork and spare parts businesses. The area’s major problem is insufficient storage area causing conflicts within its own community, so the design approach is to create a more efficient storage unit and a workstation that supports the workers’ lifestyle. The design concept was inspired by an analysis of the workflow, which involves a lot of movement, resulting in the idea that the architecture should be mobile as well.

Seed-nee STUDENTS Krotchakorn Meengen Apisit Phonhan Rujirada Loetsriphaisan YEAR 2017

MONTARA HUAHIN BOUTIQUE RESORT & SPA STUDENT Kuakunya Maneepairoj YEAR 2015 With the growth of health and wellness tourism today, Hua Hin district in the southern Thai province of Prachuap Khiri Khan is a prime location for a boutique wellness resort, with the district’s history as the country’s first vacation hotspot.

The idea is to create a space of aesthetics and calm, to slow down our biological clock. A place of contemplation to create awareness about our surrounding and ultimately to find an inner peace. The reason for the concept “Slow Living & Tranquility” is because today we are living hurried lives and forgetting to appreciate the little things around us, so the design focused on creating sensual experiences and relationships with the natural surrounding and transition spaces that help to slow us down, encouraging users towards acts of contemplation and celebration of the natural phenomena afforded by each space.

The Foundation for Children provides disadvantaged children ages 3-8 with education and accommodation. The school uses the Montessori method of education where the teacher acts as an observer and advisor only, in order for children to learn and develop freely and according to their own nature and aptitudes. The design seeks to reinforce this learning approach with the concept “intermingle,” by combining together 2 contrasting elements such as building and nature or classroom and playground.

The latter combines a boring activity with a stimulating one to create a space where children can learn through play and develop various skills. The building is connected to the surrounding nature, while the colors, furniture and materials are child-friendly.

TRANSFARMING : Bangkok’s lifestyle farming

STUDENTS Apisara Lertrattanakit YEAR 2015

The concept for this project is “transformation,” creating a connection between the city and agricultural land by incremental changes from farmland to architecture and from architecture to city. Architecture creates changes, but cannot actually alter people’s way of life, therefore the architecture will be a tool to help insert farmland into the city, where buildings crammed together without a thought for green spaces.

The “transformation” is not only applied to the design, but also to the programming as well. The user is divided into 3 groups by their level of interest in agriculture: 1. users who are seriously interested is the group that wants to acquire knowledge for implementation, 2. users who are beginning to be interested or want new experiences and 3. users who are not yet interested. The programming covers activities suited to all 3 types of visitors and their interest levels, but with the aim of gradually making everyone interested in farming.
