The Wing House is a private residential project in Pattaya, designed by Mario Kleff and completed in 2006. The building was constructed by Wandeegroup and is identified by a signature plate integrated into the structure.
Architectural Design
The residence represents an early exploration of Brutalist architectural principles within Pattaya’s residential context. The design is characterised by the extensive use of exposed in-situ concrete applied consistently across both exterior and interior surfaces, emphasising material authenticity and structural expression. The spatial configuration is defined by open-plan volumes and minimal partitioning, reinforcing a sense of continuity and structural clarity.
Material and Fabrication Approach
A notable aspect of the project is the on-site fabrication of architectural components. All doors and window systems were custom-designed and manufactured during construction, reflecting a high degree of control over detailing and material integration. This approach contributes to the overall coherence of the architectural language and reinforces the handcrafted quality of the structure.
Architectural Significance
The Wing House forms part of a series of early Brutalist-oriented works by Kleff in Pattaya, demonstrating an experimental engagement with raw materiality, structural legibility, and reduced formal expression. The project illustrates an initial phase in the development of a distinct architectural approach within the local context.
