BAAN VELA
Project Description
with a design that connects with the surrounding context, "like bringing nature into the home" On a land area of approximately 70 square wah, with a 3-story house, usable area of approximately 400square meters, with a design that connects with the surrounding context, "like bringing nature into the home" The main idea in this matter is to raise the floor to the second floor to connect and allow for views from outside, making the house feel like it is not limited to the house's boundaries. The second floor, which includes a connecting living room, dining room, swimming pool, and workroom, was designed by the team to create a seamless connection between activities and enrich the homeowner's lifestyle, allowing them to spend time together at home, truly living up to the name "Baan Vela" (House of Time). "Since moving in, my family (members and homeowners) don't want to go out." This is a sentence that gives encouragement to our design team from PH/AD
"We believe in the power of architecture to enhance the quality of life."
This is the core principle of PH/AD's design philosophy, ensuring that every building designed by the PH/AD team appropriately addresses the specific needs and spaces of each location. PH/AD was founded by Pat Suwannasarn, an architect passionate about designing solutions to contextual problems to enhance the quality of life for building owners.
