PROJECT BUILT-IN / CONDOMINIUM YEAR 4TH YEAR, 2021

Due to small and limited space, The design’s Intention is to expand space, have flexible and proper functional area, and enough storage space. Materials are playing an important role which can be divided into 3 types. first, wire mesh laminated glass, bronze wire mesh, clear laminated glass, and aluminum structure will provide visual connection and help create the feeling of transparency. Second, Tinted Mirror will help the room to be perceived as bigger. The last type is Laminated wood, Marble, and laminated fabric, they are opaque materials used for the cabinet that store unorganized things.
The Partition between the Living area and Bedroom is designed with 360 degrees rotating TV stand. Indirect light is used to emphasize the floating and glowing effect because the room is filled with built-in furniture that tends to feel heavier.

CONTENT : JOURNEY OF LIFE
Project begins with curiosity on relation between Buddhism and science. It seems to be related and yet opposite set of minds. Meaning of life could perceived on both perspective; religiously or scientifically. These kinds of contrast narratives are interesting in designing architectural story and experience through space. The site is in Lumphini Park, one of the green spaces in Bangkok. The Idea is to keep most of the existing trees and take up less footprint, which allows the connection between park-people-place. Result, the main floor floating above all the tree.

LOCATION NATIONAL STADIUM BANGKOK
AREA 12,182 SQ.M.
The fascinating aspect regarding the National stadium, Suphachalasai Stadium, is its location in the heart of Bangkok, surrounded by commercial areas, shopping malls, educational institutions, and residential communities. Throughout the day, the surrounding areas of the stadium attract a large number of people to utilize the facilities due to its easy accessibility. As the stadium is a node and landmark of the city, it is naturally considere d to become a public space, especially when no events are being held.
The stadium area is part of the development project of Samyan Smart city which depreciates social values as well as the Art Deco architectural values. This is an adaptive reuse project with the aim of finding solutions and a possible restoration design to revitalize the stadium, creating a hub for new kinds of gathering beyond sports events and concerts, while preserving this iconic architecture.
