Family Home With Just The Right Amount Of Privacy And Connectivity

Architect Khetkhun Yodpring and interior designer Preeyanuch Ruangsung of Bangkok-based AUN Design Studio recently completed a multi-generational family residence with striking 'see-through' exterior and interior features that increase visual and social connectivity.

redesigned for harmony

Located within a 50-year-old housing estate in the Lat Phrao neighbourhood in east Bangkok, this newly built residence replaces an old house belonging to the project's clients - the Faosup family.

The Faosups wanted to demolish their aged domicile and build a new, more modern home with an easy to-maintain garden within their compact 184 sqm site. They wanted social spaces that were conducive for entertaining, as well as a private living quarter for the owner's 75-year-old mother. They also desired an exercise area, parking spaces for two cars and a bicycle, two kitchens, and an interior style that would complement the Faosups' collection of designer furniture and chairs. Limited acreage meant that the mature building had an expansive horizontal layout with edges that were very close to its neighbours’. This contributed to poor ventilation as well as minimal garden space. AUN Design Studio solved these shortcomings by placing the new 240 sqm dwelling in the middle of the plot and raising its living areas above the roof-line of nearby houses for better views.
