YAK01
3, Yen Akat 2 Alley, Yan Nawa, Bangkok, Thailand
YAK01 is a new modernly designed house located on Yen Akat Road, Bangkok,
Thailand. The house is specifically designed for a small modern family. It is
composed of a 560 sq.m private land and 500 sq. m usable internal space. Even
though the usable space of the land is limited, the client wanted a modern
house with sun shades and rain protections as well as a large greenery area to
enjoy. After numerous hours of design planning and meetings, the architect
proposed cantilevering practically half of the house over the ground floor
area. This would liberate more space in the garden while following the regulations. The house is designed in L shape to enhance
the usable space and green area. One side of the wall of the house is designed
close to an adjacent plot of land to maximize the green space. The bathrooms, service areas, storages and
staircases are designed as buffer zones to absorb the heat and provide more
privacy for the main private space on the north. Most of glass walls are also
in the north of the house in order to receive natural sunlight since the
northern sunlight is the least intense in Thailand. In addition, 50 percent of
the land is an open space for gardening that can be visible from every angle.
The swimming pool is positioned in parallel with the building to draw cool air
into the house. The architect’s main concerns are to keep the building cool
during daytime and provide cross-ventilation from opposing windows for every
room. The layout not only satisfies the client’s need, but also provides a
natural ventilation and generous outdoor area compared with that of a small
plot with similar surrounding properties.
The ground floor is arranged as a Thai
traditional house design with a central courtyard that functions as a feature
foyer and distributor before accessing to the main living space. A staircase
enclosed in a glass box is floating over this underlying front garden as a main
feature for the entrance.
The main living space is located in the
center as the floating pavilion where the family can enjoy the outdoor garden
and swimming pool. The living space
directly connects to the terrace, the garden and the swimming pool with double
-height folding windows that facilitate the fusion of spaces. The approach of
situating a swimming pool in the back of the house produces a space that is
diverse and suitable to various activities.
The
master bedroom upstairs is entirely cantilevered over the whole length of front
foyer. It is designed in a cubic shape to create feature architectural element.
The design does not only enhance the aesthetic element but also provide shading
to the residence in the same fashion as a traditional Thai house. To
incorporate a modern feeling to the house design, the architect installed
customized Silver Aluminum Extrusion Strip vertically on the wall of the master
bedroom and master bathroom. The strips make the house look like a silver box
floating on a black granite sheet below.
This Aluminum strips are also designed for air buffer insulation to cool
down the main bedroom space.
The other two bedrooms are located on
another side of the house by extending on top of the swimming pool on a
cantilevered concrete slab enclosed by a big glass wall with black aluminum
cladding.
