Description of the text provided by the architects. TNOP House, holiday home of a famous graphic designer. The owner has a project to build a holiday home. to find new inspiration and relaxation from the city’s achievements. The owner chose the northern Thai mountain cities; that province is Chiang Rai Province in Thailand. a place that is a dream for those who want to visit for tourism. and rest from working in the hustle and bustle of the capitalist economy. The land is located in the local agricultural residential area. and next to the highway that connects the areas. The land area is hilly, sloping from the highest to the lowest contour. Expanding shape as an axis from east to west.percept the sight of green rice fields in the rainy season. and add a golden color to the rice grains that are ready to be harvested in winter. comparable to framed pictures of still life art. Although this place is a great location. However, obstacles still await the implementation of architectural space design. Reduce barriers to a well-used building.
Modern people live in a village area with a traditional way of life. Food is usually cooked over a bonfire. Smoke and odors are difficult to control. In relation to these problems, the architect designed the design by analyzing the local wind direction. And designed by building a long wall to create privacy from the outside, including and forcing the pollution that happens every day to blow away so as not to disturb the area. It’s a way to use the natural wind to your advantage.
Highway Building a house next to a highway is the last option that architects choose to use in their design. Because there is pollution, chaos and noise. which cannot be controlled The location of the buildings was therefore decided approximately 1 hour from the height of the building. and create space for landscape design work and planting. To help the building have the least impact on this. Slope The architect chose to design the orientation of the building to be parallel to the level line of the slope. Controlling structural work to prevent engineering complexity.
Hierarchy. The architects considered the location of the large balcony in the southwest. This means that the house faces the sunlight as the sun sets. But the southwest is the direction that nature is open to. Therefore, a decision was made together with the owner to choose to accept these elements of nature, including the wind, trees, fields, mountains, and sunlight, by allowing the evening light to enter the space in the architecture to move to create from the direction of light. and a shadow falling on him. The artwork seems to be on the theme of solar power. The architects applied vernacular architectural principles to design for natural breezes and sunlight. It helps to get rid of moisture and germs In tropical and humid climate zones very well.
Modern architecture combines with native architecture. The architect designed the building by choosing a simple form, emphasizing usable space to meet the needs of the space. Acknowledging the materials produced in the province, such as roofing materials, old woodwork, and decorative work of wooden structures. The grey-brown terracotta tiles, green glazed tiles, terrazzo work, and sand washing are done with meticulous steps by local contractors. Let’s combine it with modern shapes and living spaces. This allows craftsmen who know their own material to create something special in architecture from the combination. The specialty is to extract the visible aesthetic from the concept of how to deal with space and to have local technicians working in their own style. This architecture therefore communicates through the physical exterior. To viewers and locals Communicate that it is contemporary and that it is an architecture that fits the context easily while blending in.
Interior space design. Main entrance. The first thing the user will encounter at the entrance of this house is a small garden that serves to extend the walking distance into the interior space. To adjust the internal mental state of the space users before entering the area Interior is a living space which is like the heart of the house. The “main area of the house” is the living area that connects to both the kitchen and the art studio. Including an external terrace on the south-west side. Allowing space users to fully unleash their imagination with art and nature.” Increase the benefits of transition space.” Usually, the hall inside the house may be an area that does not take much time to move. Therefore the architect wanted to take advantage of the placement of horizontal and vertical circulation space, as a main staircase designed in a north to south axis up to the second floor. The space is designed to feel like a hallway in an art gallery. and it is a space to relax different emotions. For the relaxation that requires stillness. The architect has analyzed that the period of use may not be long. But the space can also be used to create privacy for the main areas of the building.
Conclusion where nature inspires everything for this home. Homeowners and architects are choosing to fully embrace this as well. The most important thing in the design of this house is to deal with weak points as effectively as possible and the combination of modern architecture and local taste.
