The project is a renovation old pharmacy drug store in Patani—deep south Thailand— the building was old and deteriorated. Aim to the priority, the building structure was made of wood, and changing the original structure from wood to steel material. The original building was a modern two-story row building. In front of the building showed the roof tilted to the front. The context beside the building was an adjacent building with one building next to it, where the exterior has blue. And the other side was close to each other with a blue roof. So the buildings near the side of the neighborhood used a blue tone. Therefore, the concept idea for renovation is using the opposite color material to make the building stand out. Therefore, choosing to use it as an orange brick material that is the opposite color and also corresponds to the building location which is located in the old town. area, As embarrassing the old city by maintaining the modern shape of the original building. The exterior building color is choosing to paint white color for show the modern look of the building. And added a facade, which used an orange brick material on the front so that the building is distinctive from the opposite pair of colors and materials. The form of a solid wall is used by bricks with one layer on the side and inserted with a facade, that is arranged obliquely into a triangle corner by the angle between the overlapping layers to overlap to increase the dimension between each other and the facade will allow a little to filter the entrance light, which is the west side to shine sunlight into the building in the evening. The facade part consists of a solid brick wall to act as a wall to close the walkway beside the building. In addition to being a store label, hide the automatic steel door on the back for closing. And the hidden parts of the hidden rain gutters make them look in continuous connection with the part of the roof that the tape tilts to the front. The entrance changes to a wider glass door to see more inside. The facade bricks are arranged at a triangle angle, So using the roof material because it has triangles arranged for continuous viewing from the wall up to the roof. Therefore, choosing to use a kite-shaped roof tile that once arranged will get a triangle to connect in rows up, creating continuity. The facade below and top, which is similar to the shape of a pentagon to the front of the building looks like changing the original shape into a square, Also to correspond to the interior space that changes the shape accordingly. The facade above and below has the orange color of the brick and all the buildings use white color, So the roof is two colors mixed giving the harmony of two different colors by using pattern placement. Therefore, the roof tiles are arranged to have a gradation of colors, increasing the attractiveness of the front roof. The original second-floor roof was changed to a white metal sheet.
Interior part, Due to the original structure, this part was not how tall it was. The roof of the commercial building made the interior look not tall. Therefore, changing the ceiling which leaves the center oblique to the wall on both sides, creates a new interior space so that the middle area looks wider. The part where the shield comes down to the wall is furniture on both sides, Also teasing the shape of the facade on top. The furniture of the drug store is brought to the original furniture and the modifier changes color to brown tone. Moving the previous cabinet to use the same wall separating the zone between the drug store and the multi-purpose area behind the private space zone. The area is double volume space because the original structure was already there. Previously, the ceiling was the same as before use. and changing it same as the drugstore zone. Keeping a bit of green to neutralize the white of the walls and the brown tone of the floor. The floor inside uses a wood laminate tile. So The ceilings, floors, and furniture are brown tones which are to related the outside facade tone. Using warm lighting to give the facade look warm and stands out from outside of the building that uses light to look at the warmness contrasting, And Using an Inside lighting white tone to give looking cleanness and wideness area.
