A01 Rehabilitation Medicine Center

Thesis Project

LOCATION : Bang Pla, Bang Phli, Samut Prakan, Thailand

BUILDING TYPE : Healthcare AREA : 18,283 m2

This architectural thesis project is a study of architectural design for a healthcare facility that responds to the entire rehabilitation process. The goal is to create an environment suitable for the physical, social, and cognitive aspects of patient recovery which are the 3 main goals of rehabilitation.

Furthermore, this project intends to propose solutions to common pain points in this type of project, including : Anxiety or depression that often arises from

the perception of losing one's own abilities after illness, accidents, or hospitalization, as well as feeling like a burden to the family who must care for them closely or bring them to rehabilitation centers regularly. Boredom resulting from repetitive rehabilitation procedures over several months.

Loneliness due to an environment that does not encourage interaction with others.

DESIGN PROCESS

One key concept of the project is to consider the lifestyles of patients' families, which are often interrupted when they have to attend to patients undergoing treatment. This is addressed by designing spaces for the families, such as areas where they can work or relax, fitness centers, coffee shops, and dining areas. These spaces are also designed to promote activities for both patients and families, such as movie rooms, aroma therapy room, prayer rooms and herb gardens. These areas include indoor, semi-indoor, semi-outdoor, and outdoor spaces, providing options for patients with different health conditions.

NEW Suan-Mali

with OLD Essence of Living

5th Year Group Project

LOCATION : Bamrung Mueang Rd., Wat Thep Sirin, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Bangkok, Thailand

BUILDING TYPE : Mixed-Use AREA : 107,789 m2

This mixed-use project stems from the idea of revitalising the deteriorated Suan-Mali community to bring it back to life. The project includes residential buildings for middle-income and low-income earners, a hotel, and commercial spaces, all based on an analysis of the location's potential.

In terms of design, the project aims to preserve the charm of Suan-Mali, specifically the shophouse living, which have residential space and commercial space in a single building. It addresses the pain points of

shophouse living, such as the lack of green spaces, open spaces, and insufficient parking, through adaptive reuse and the addition of a "Second Ground Floor" concept which adds green public space above ground level. This concept addresses the differing needs of both residential and commercial space usage.

A03 Serene Resort Khoayai

4th Year Project

LOCATION : Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand

BUILDING TYPE : Hospitality

AREA : 7,000 m2

A04 National Museum City Center

4th Year Project

LOCATION :

Pathum Wan, Bangkok, Thailand BUILDING TYPE : Museum

AREA : 29,847 m2

National Museum City Center (NMCC), commissioned by the Fine Arts Department of Thailand, is a new museum of Thai antiquities in the center of Bangkok which is an important education zone.

Exhibiting antiques that are selected from Bangkok National Museum’s collection, the permanent exhibition is divided into 3 zones to represent 3 periods of Thai history classified by human knowledge in materials which had played an important role in human civilisation. Each zone has their own characteristics. People will be able to experience 3 different period through the way light integrates in each exhibition space.

The importance of being a public space is also concerned. The plaza in front of the museum, situated on Phaya Thai Road and Chulalongkorn 12 road corner, acts as a public open urban space that establishes a dynamic connection between the main hall and the 2 roads. Moreover, people are able to get the Chamchuri 10’s garden view through this hall.

4th Year Project

LOCATION : Jomtien Beach, Bang Lamung , Chonburi, Thailand

52,409 m2

Real estate in Pattaya is mushrooming because it has a unique landscape, it is surrounded by mountains and sea, it is equipped with infrastructures as well as many more recreational areas and lastly, it is not too far from Bangkok. These factors have made Pattaya one of the most visited city especially by Thais who live in Bangkok.

This project will not only gives the residents Jomtien beach view, but also aims to create a beachfront living experience that

you can take your time, breath and smell

PATTAYA! Consequently, outdoor and semi-outdoor living spaces are created to provide experience unlike living in the city. Every typical unit has their own private balcony which is attached to its side instead of its front. This design gives every single unit a natural cross ventilation effect. Furthermore, outdoor recreational spaces are added to every common area of the building.

RESIDENTIAL UNIT

- living space with CROSS VENTILATION created by the side balcony

MULTIPURPOSE LAWN

- green open space - permeable area - reduce urban heat island

Hatyai Bus Terminal 1

3rd Year Project

LOCATION : Sri Phuwanat Rd., Hat Yai , Songkhla, Thailand

Hatyai Bus Terminal 1 is a reconstruction project established in Hat Yai, Songkhla, Thailand. This project focuses on how to effectively design the bus terminal to deal with challenging transportation circulation and to combine wide span structure with the program such as arrival and departure terminal, commercial area, administrative office and service area.

Suspension bridge-like tensile structure was selected to be the main structure of the building since it requires just

2 vertically supporting points. By using this structure, the roof is able to cantilever far enough to cover the outdoor platform of the terminal.

SECOND FLOOR PLAN

4th Year Project

Friedrich Nietzsche's "Apollonian and Dionysian" concept contrasts Apollo, representing order and reason, with Dionysus, symbolizing chaos and emotion. Nietzsche praises the coexistence of these two aspects.

I applied this concept to architecture, blending order and disorder. In a condominium project, I designed:

"Apollonian" aspects with efficient, standard circulation systems. "Dionysian" aspects with special circulation systems leading to varied viewpoints, creating unique experiences tailored to different group of users.
