Gaa is a transformation of an ancient Thai house into a modern fine dining space. With the new design, Architectkidd reflects on the ongoing journey of the house, which originated from Ayutthaya, Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wood joinery techniques of the \u2018Ruen Thai\u2019 allow it to be assembled and disassembled and the house was moved and reconstructed in its new location in Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Characteristic of Thai houses are the undulating roof forms and curved ceiling spaces. A string installation was designed to flow through and accentuate the volume of the Thai house. These strings are a modern interpretation of \u2018Sai Sin\u2019 \u2013 white threads strung along rafters of houses and buildings to symbolize the spiritual connection and bliss of people gathered together within the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architectkidd’s design for Gaa<\/a> expresses new possibilities within a traditional space. For Gaa, the creation of food is not a product but something that comes from elevating ideas and approaches. The new design for Gaa has been enriched by interconnecting old and new processes in order to create a new gathering space for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
