For decades, Bangkok has been expanding, further encompassing surrounding agricultural land. Rather perplexingly, there are still underutilised plots –hidden gems—left undeveloped. This site is such a gem, prime in its location, sitting unrivalled at the very heart of Bangkok, soi Chokchai 4. Because of the shape of the site, houses are deemed the most suitable typology. In order to fully utilise this space, a pair of houses are to be developed.Each house is designed with the contemporary Thai family in mind. Where there may be two generations with potentially conflicting lifestyles, living under one roof. As such each house is designed to have twice the number of communal spaces for simultaneous use, perfect for inter-generational living. There are two living rooms, one for receiving guests on the ground floor and a more private one on the 3rd floor overlooking the pool area. The quality of living is central to this development. Grandeur is expressed throughout the generous spaces around the house with quality material finish such as, specially selected profile travertine stones line the facade.
