" Revitalize your 130 square meter single-house through a residential renovation project that breathes new life into your living space. Enhance the functionality, aesthetics, and comfort of your home by undertaking a comprehensive renovation that transforms it into a modern and personalized sanctuary. "
WSWH is an architectural and interior design for renovation of a 130 square meter house located at Wongsawang, Bangkok. The original structure of the house is not in good condition because of a long time abandonment. Although the house has limited space, Too Architects has proposed a design development of this house to meet the requirements, which are aesthetic, space usage maximization and align with the construction budget.
Working on this house began with a feasibility study of the house's existing structure. The design team encountered a major problem : The existing structure is not capable of extending the second floor structure. However, the design team has to deal with the limited space for maximum efficiency. By dividing space according to usage, time and suitability of the members in the house.
The house consists of 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen and dining area, living room, working area, prayer room, washing area, a small garden in front of the house and parking space for 2 cars. The concept of the design is to be airy, comfortable and to make the area of only 130 square meters look larger than it actually is.
The design team proposed to demolish the entirely original roof structure and construct the new roof plane to make all areas of the house have high ceilings and insert the side openings to bring in natural light from the outside. Soft colors are applied in every area of the house to make each room feel spacious and comfortable. The design team chose to place the "Public" area, which is the kitchen and dining area, living room and working area in the middle of the house. It is like a common area for all family members to spend quality time together.
