This project began with the client’s vision to build a “small house” on a 100 square meter plot (10x10 meters) that would provide a comfortable and
complete living space for two people. The client requested two parking spaces, a shoe closet, living and dining room, pantry, Thai kitchen, laundry room,
one bedroom with individual closets for each partner, and a bathroom. The design aimed to create a thoughtfully efficient space.
In response to the brief, the architect allocated each function to occupy minimal space while prioritizing user comfort. Each area was arranged side by side,
with a central circulation space to maximize functionality. Spaces were divided into two categories: private and semi private.
To allow natural ventilation, the architect separated the building’s mass into two sections, creating a pathway for airflow. The central space between the two
blocks is a wooden terrace courtyard with a tree, providing a serene view and a place to relax. A simple gable roof covers the building, while the terrace is
shaded by a translucent skylight that brings natural light into the courtyard and interior spaces, making the terrace usable even during the rainy season.
The house is built on a large plot surrounded by greenery. The areas around the house are sprinkled with gray gravel, which requires minimal maintenance
and prevents weeds. The gravel finish in the parking area creates a sense of continuity with the landscape and the house. From the parking space, residents
enter through a foyer with a small shoe closet before moving into the main house. The open plan living room serves as a space for relaxation, dining, meal
prep, and coffee brewing. This area opens to the courtyard, with an adjacent door near the pantry leading to the kitchen and laundry room. A sliding door
between the living area and kitchen helps contain cooking smells.
A door from the courtyard leads to the bedroom, which features a raised platform serving as a futon bed to keep the room visually open and uncluttered.
The bed faces the trees, allowing a constant view of greenery. The bedroom also functions as a passageway to the closet, which connects to the bathroom.
The male closet has two entrances, one from the bedroom and another from the terrace, allowing guests to access the bathroom without compromising
privacy. When guests enter the bathroom, a sliding door automatically closes off access to the bedroom. The bathroom includes a large upper window that
provides views of the trees while maintaining privacy from outside observers.
