55 Sathorn House / Kuanchanok Pakavaleetorn Architects

© W-Workspace
The challenge was the limitation in the size of the construction area.  A strong statement in both form and material can be visible at first glance.  Heavy pour-in-place concrete seems to be sliced open by narrow gab-making ways for inhabitable functions.  A strip of light cuts and carves out the concrete structure creating an internal vertical courtyard arrangement.  Ribbons of concrete float weightlessly to reveal and mark the rooftop courtyard.  Sharp edges and rounded corners elevations allow and respect natural elements such as rain and the wind. Volumetric separation of the two house masses creates an internal wind tunnel effect from the south direction.
