This project is a design of an apartment unit in an early-generation residential high-rise in Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The design makes use of existing attributes & found conditions. The building’s location, while in the middle of the city, is away from the main roads and adjacent to one of Bangkok’s largest waterways, or ‘klongs’<\/a>. As a result, upon entering the apartment, one faces an uninterrupted view of the Bangkok skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The apartment itself is located at one corner of the high-rise. In Bangkok, prevailing winds<\/a> originate from the south-west direction. As a result, the layout was arranged to maximize openings to the east and south sides to allow for cross ventilation throughout the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"BKK<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Materials and finishes were selected as spare and contemporary interpretations of Thai living. In particular, inspiration was found during visits to the local workshops of craftsmen and carpenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"BKK<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These workshops usually consist of not only the ‘working’ areas but also combined eating and sleeping areas within a limited space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The idea of combining several functions within a compact space resulted in the design for the outdoor shower area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Detail<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Working closely with a local carpenter, perforated wooden screens made from reclaimed hard wood timber<\/a> were installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Progress<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When not used as a shower, the wooden screens can be closed to enlarge the outdoor balcony space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architectkidd’s<\/a> design for “Bangkok Flat” has been featured in Dezeen<\/a>, Dwell Asia, Surface Asia<\/a>, Arqa<\/a>, Room Magazine<\/a>, Elle Decor Thailand<\/a> and other publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
