TOWN IN TOWN HOUSE
Project : Private residence, 2017
Location : Wongthonglang, Bangkok, Thailand
Vertical elements…
The Daytime Sleeping project has an ambitious goal of being a catalyst for change. It aims to promote a closer connection between the natural environment surrounding the house, and encourage an exchange between the two.
Given the weather conditions of the West-facing site, the front façade of the building needed to be designed with a level of closure in order to block the harsh sun rays. To achieve this, the entire building mass was clad with aluminum panels. This cladding not only gives the building a modern and distinctive appearance, but also incorporates perforations and openings that work to create self-shading and ventilation for the building.
By incorporating these design elements, the Daytime Sleeping project seeks to be a model for sustainable and environmentally-friendly architecture, while also providing a comfortable and inviting living space for its occupants. Through this project, we hope to inspire others to think more carefully about the relationship between nature and the built environment, and to embrace innovative solutions that benefit both.
