PTK-44

In Thailand, properties house is always a suitable option for people who wish to have a house. However, the manufactured house that has been designed for everyone couldn’t respond to all clients, which is the reason why it is renovated and extended to the setback area. It’s a usual situation which you could find on YouTube nowadays.
The project started with a young couple who had prepared their house for their baby. The existing house couldn’t support their requirement in the future. Before the construction hadstarted, a 4x11m. The flying box contained the living area and storage room to support the main house, and a semi-outdoor living area was settled below. The key design issue is how to manage the columns under the 11-meter-long white box. After a long negotiation with the structural engineer, it had only four columns with a cantilever on both sides. It was the only way to make the semi-outdoor area have as much as it could for activities in the afternoon or on hot days in Bangkok. On the other hand, the small bridge will be connected with the main house, and the main issue has been addressed with the existing structure because the structure was constructed with a precast system, so the bridge was adjusted to the position of a brick wall.

After the construction had started, the real owner of this project was born, the flying box was revised to be a baby room, so the interior has been revised, but the space under the box and the pond were relocated and the size of the safety for children. After it was finished, the extension area has been used as the requirement and maybe more. The first time it was designed for young parents to relax on the weekend, but it has been used by toddlers to play more than their parents. We will not claim that the space under the box could relate to the Thai traditional house’s criteria, It has not intended to. This extended house is just one of many alternative ways to fulfill the property’s house to be your own house.
