“Donphrom Market” is a small, old fresh market in the Bang Yai area. It opened back when the surroundings were still wide, open fields, but over time, the
city and its prosperity have grown around it. Due to the market’s long standing operation, the buildings have become old and worn down. A new generation
of project managers has taken over, bringing fresh ideas to renovate and modernize the market.
The owner’s goal is to revitalize the entire market environment and atmosphere by maintaining the original steel structure and roof, as these are still sound
investments. The renovation plan includes repairing only the damaged roof, updating the building facade, reorganizing the layout of the vendor stalls, and
installing new electrical and sanitary systems. To support the vendors, the market will remain open throughout the renovation process, with construction
carefully managed to minimize disruption.
The project is divided into three main sections. The first area is the fresh market, featuring a 7-11 store on one corner and spaces for food and grocery
vendors inside. The second area, located behind the market, consists of storage rooms for vendors, restrooms, and parking lots. The third area is a
commercial building with shops on the ground floor and dormitory units on the upper floors.
Since the primary structure is the original steel frame, a significant concern is managing the weight of the new facade attached to it. The architect aims to
design a facade that captures changing shadows and light throughout the day. To achieve this, they have chosen materials like steel frames, cement boards,
and PVC pipes arranged in long panels to contrast with the lively market below. Within the market, house shaped steel frames are used to define vendor
boundaries, with all steel structures painted in light colors to create a welcoming atmosphere.
For the commercial building, the design includes a facade that covers the dormitory balconies, used as washing areas. A perforated transparent panel will be
installed for decoration, allowing fresh air to flow in while keeping the balconies from becoming too dark. This design aims to create a harmonious,
cohesive look that complements the overall aesthetic of the market.
