S House
Architect: TH Studio Architects
Year: 2022
Area: 170 m2
Location: Nongkhai, Thailand
The old wooden house of mother is changed to be a present from her daughters. S is from Siblings which called for the new house. The design creates refined connections between rooms, moving away from old traditional spatial experiences. The irregular transitional spaces make the architectural atmosphere and dynamic spaces with curved boundaries in each area with a new sense of movement.
The house intended for residential use in Nongkhai city where it is in a peaceful neighborhood located northeast of Thailand. This small plot is laid at the middle of the road with a demanding functional scheme to orient common areas northward and all services southwards; thus, seeking to free up the relationship between common areas and the privacy garden to the maximum. The program is organized in two levels with the social use spaces on the ground floor and the intimate spaces on the top roof.
Site and Geometric Order
During their first site visit, TH Studio Architects and the owner recognized a clear approach: to elevate the unique house. The environment is lively, and within a limited 228 m2 plot, the design needed more private spaces by avoid the view from outside while accommodating standard three rooms of no less than 40 m2 each and a utility storage room. This approach not only created two different spatial qualities - quiet below for elder grandmom and dynamic above for her daughters but also utilized the privacy courtyard to provide privacy and scenic views for bedrooms, living and dining area. Meanwhile, the ground level was freed up as a semi-outdoor terrace area, naturally supporting a variety of private activities such as dining, reading, small partying, and relaxing in the shade.
A Form and Openings Experience
This experiential design considers architectural and small landscape orientation from the urban surroundings. In its abstract form, "the unique geometric openings” replace "the old shape of wooden windows” with operable panels covered within walls to keep the purity of these openings. The interaction between S house volume and the urban context is designed in the position of window openings with scenic elements, shaping how people use the interior circulations and move along its road in front of the house. This is extraordinary within the everyday natural light: the owners can both stay comfortably indoors and feel freely outdoors.
The design needed to remove geometric control lines from the irregular plot boundary and refined the relationship between volume, site, and the human body through plan and sectional repetitions. A significant move at the ground level was rotating the curve walls along “S” circulations from its original vertical axis alignment. This “S” curve walls opened space and presented new structural expressions.
The Sense of Enclosure
S House is designed in the feeling of the reflective of grey metallic paint, rough white stucco, and wood finishes create diverse material expressions in light absorption and the unique glass brick wall is a main approach of a curve panel entry to create a blur the transitions and merge between exterior and interior elements. The monotone color increases the energetic quality of the irregular planes, creating abstract beautiful small spaces.
Structure and Construction
The main tension is the reinforced concrete on the ground level and the steel structure both of beam and column steels on the upper level. On the surface of wall consist of white color paint and wooden planks reflect the existing wooden houses in their neighborhood surrounding. Constructively the house is resolved with visible reinforced concrete partitions on the ground floor, masonry walls on the top floor and a veneer panel cover. The roof house’s preparation incorporates in its roof a system of photovoltaic panels for solar energy generation.
